Pva Installation - Compaq RA8000 User Manual

RA8000 and ESA12000 Storage Subsystems
Use the following steps to remove a PVA (warm swap):
1. Quiesce the SCSI bus at the controller.
2. Note the enclosure address setting (0, 2, or 3) on the PVA SCSI ID switch.
3. Pull both extractor latches outward and remove the PVA.

5.12.2 PVA Installation

Use the following steps to install a PVA:
1. Align the PVA with the right-hand slot and insert it.
2. Pull the PVA extractor latches outward. Push the PVA into the slot until the extractor
latches engage the enclosure, then push the extractor latches inward to seat and
secure the PVA.
3. Ensure the PVA SCSI ID switch is set to the valid number for the enclosure.
•
Master enclosure—0
•
First expansion enclosure—2
•
Second expansion enclosure—3
4. If performing a hot swap, go to step 7.
5. If performing a warm swap, press the EMU alarm control switch on the master
enclosure to restart the subsystem and go to step 7.
To allow the array controller to properly recognize
addresses, ensure that you turn on the expansion
enclosures before turning on the master enclosure.
6. If performing a cold swap, restart the subsystem as follows:
a) Plug in the subsystem's power cord, if it is not already plugged in.
b) On all expansion enclosures, turn on all ac input power entry controllers.
c) On the master enclosure, turn on all ac input power entry controllers.
7. After the array controller is operational, verify that the subsystem is functioning
properly.
