Transporting CompactFlash (single-
controller configurations only)
CAUTION:
In single-controller configurations, to prevent data
loss, the CompactFlash must be moved from the
failed controller to the new controller. In dual-
controller configurations, do not transport the
CompactFlash, as data corruption might occur.
Procedure
1. Make sure that transporting the cache is the
appropriate action to take as specified in the user
guide for your MSA model.
2. Carefully remove the CompactFlash from the
controller, label it Data, and set it aside.
3. Carefully remove the CompactFlash from the new
controller and set it aside.
4. Insert into the new controller the CompactFlash that
you removed from the failed controller and labeled
Data.
Removing the failed controller module
IMPORTANT:
•
In a single-controller configuration, if
transporting the CompactFlash to a new
controller, remove the controller only after the
cache is copied to CompactFlash. When the
copy is complete, the Cache Status LED is off,
or it is flashing one-tenth of a second ON and
nine-tenths of a second OFF.
•
In a single-controller environment, I/O must be
stopped and the enclosure must be powered off
prior to the replacement.
•
In a dual-controller environment, if the failed
controller is first shut down, the controller may
be hot-replaced in an operational enclosure.
Procedure
1. If you are replacing a controller in a single-controller
environment, stop all I/O and remove power from the
enclosure. Go to step 3.
2. In a dual-controller configuration:
a. To shut down the failed controller:
•
For the P2000 SMU and the MSA 1040/2040
SMU v2 — Select the system in the
Configuration View panel and then Tools >
Shut Down or Restart Controller.
•
For the MSA 1050/2050 SMU and the MSA
1040/2040 SMU v3 — Select Restart System
from the System topic.
b. Set the following options and then click OK:
•
Operation—Shut down
•
Controller Type—Storage
•
Controller—A or B
The blue OK to Remove LED on the controller
illuminates, indicating that the controller can be
safely removed.
c. Locate the enclosure in which the controller
module OK to Remove LED is blue.
3. Disconnect cables connected to the module. Label
each cable to facilitate reconnection.
4. Turn the thumbscrews until the screws disengage
from the module (1) and rotate both latches
downward to disengage the module from the internal
connector (2).
5. Pull the module straight out of the enclosure (3).
