This task shows you how to verify the installation after you install the SAN

Volume Controller in the rack and connect it to the uninterruptible power supply,

the storage area network (SAN), and the Ethernet.

Note: If at any point the SAN Volume Controller does not operate as described,

see MAP 5000 in the IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller

Troubleshooting Guide, unless a different maintenance analysis procedure

(MAP) is specified.

Perform the following steps to verify installation:

1. Press the SAN Volume Controller power-control button. Because the button is

recessed, you might need a pointed device, such as a screwdriver, to press the

power-control button. Verify that the green power LED is lit. If the LED is not

illuminated, see MAP 5000: Start in the IBM System Storage SAN Volume

Controller Troubleshooting Guide to repair the problem.

Note: You do not need to install any software. The node boots automatically.

The SAN Volume Controller 2145-CF8 runs an extended series of power-on

self tests. The node might appear to be idle for up to five minutes after

powering on.

Figure 35 illustrates the controls and indicators on the front panel that verify

the installation.

Verify that the node is booting without error. If it boots without error, either

the Charging, Recovering, or the Cluster: message is displayed in the first

line of the front-panel display.

2. Press and hold the select button for five seconds. The check light comes on

and a display test is performed. Check that all display cells light and that a

bar scrolls horizontally and vertically across the display. When the display test

is complete, the check light goes off and a button test is started.

3. Press the up, down, left, and right buttons to verify that they are working.
