Recovery Firmware Cd; Adding Disk Drives To The Storage System; Handling Fiber Optic Cables - HP StorageWorks 4400 User Manual

Example 2. Restoring configuration data on a Windows host
If it is necessary to restore the storage system configuration, it can be done using the following
procedure.
1. Double-click on the SSSU desktop icon to run the application.
2. Enter FILE pathname\filename, where pathname identifies the location where the configur-
ation files are be saved and filename is the name of the first configuration file: for example, FILE
c:\EVAConfig\LargeEVA_Step1A.txt
3. Repeat the preceding step for each configuration file. Use files in sequential order. For example,
use Step1A before Step1B, and so on. Files that are not needed for configuration data are not
created, so there is no need to restore them.

Recovery firmware CD

A CD containing the original XCS firmware installed on the array is shipped with the EVA4400; this
CD is needed only for recovery procedures. The latest firmware is available on the HP software depot
at the following location:

Adding disk drives to the storage system

As your storage requirements grow, you may be adding disk drives to your storage system. Adding
new disk drives is the easiest way to increase the storage capacity of the storage system. Disk drives
can be added online without impacting storage system operation.

Handling fiber optic cables

This section provides protection methods for fiber optic connectors.
Contamination of the fiber optic connectors on either a transceiver or a cable connector can impede
the transmission of data. Therefore, protecting the connector tips against contamination or damage
is imperative. The tips can be contaminated by touching them, by dust, or by debris. They can be
damaged when dropped. To protect the connectors against contamination or damage, use the dust
covers or dust caps provided by the manufacturer. These covers are removed during installation, and
should be installed whenever the transceivers or cables are disconnected.
The transceiver dust caps protect the transceivers from contamination. Do not discard the dust covers.
CAUTION:
To avoid damage to the connectors, always install the dust covers or dust caps whenever a transceiver
or a fiber cable is disconnected. Remove the dust covers or dust caps from transceivers or fiber cable
connectors only when they are connected. Do not discard the dust covers.
