Introduction The HPE J2000 NVMe-oF JBOF is a highly available system with no single point of failure. The server class baseboard management controllers (BMCs) provide redundant system management. The 2U I/O module fits inside a standard 48.3 cm (19 in) rack. System power is provided by two 1+1 redundant power modules. Some system components are designated as Customer Self Repair (CSR) parts and can be removed and replaced without the assistance of HPE Support personnel.
Preparation Reviewing safety and compliance information Review the Safety and Compliance Information for Server, Storage, Power, Networking, and Rack Products guide before you begin unpacking and installing the storage system. ESD-sensitive device warning The power module, I/O module, and drive enclosure are ESD-sensitive devices. WARNING: ESD-SENSITIVE DEVICE.
Preparing to install the J2000 into the rack Procedure 1. Verify that all power cords meet the HPE recommendations. The power cords extend 1.8 m (6 ft) beyond the J2000 when inserted into the rack. The maximum length of each power distribution unit (PDU) extension plus the power module power cord must not exceed 2.4 m (8 ft).

HPE racks require that the 8.9 mm alignment pins are installed in the rail kit for the J2000. Of the available alignment pins shipped with the system, the 8.9 mm pins have a larger head size than the 7.1 mm and 9.5 mm pins. If your rail kit does not come preinstalled with the 8.9 mm alignment pins, replace them as described in this procedure.
Installing the rail kit inner rails onto the chassis Procedure 1. Align the large section of the keyholes on the right inner chassis member rail with the standoffs on the right side of the chassis. NOTE: Right and left are marked on the front of the adjustable rack mounting rails to indicate proper placement. The shelves on the bottom of the left and right rails must be positioned towards the inside of the rack.
NOTE: If the latch and catch do not seat properly, verify that the alignment pins are correct for your rack. Installing the J2000 enclosure into the rack CAUTION: To avoid personal injury, use at least two people or a lift table or forklift to install the J2000 into the rack.
Ensure that the enclosure is fully seated and cannot be pushed farther back into the rail kits. 5. Press the release tab and push the J2000 fully into the rack. 6. Secure the J2000 to the rack using the thumbscrews on the chassis ears. Installing the drives into the enclosure Prerequisites Review Drive enclosure safety considerations.
3. Press firmly on the release lever to ensure that the drive is fully seated and latched. 4. Repeat the preceding steps to install each of the other drives. Installing the I/O modules I/O modules are installed in the system from the factory, but they can be removed to lower the weight of the enclosure to aid in installation.
Installing the power modules Power modules are installed in the system from the factory, but they can be removed to lower the weight of the enclosure to aid in installation. If you do not need to remove any system components for this purpose, proceed to Installing the cable management arm.

Procedure 1. Verify the direction for each CMA. 2. To change the direction of the CMA for use on the opposite side of the J2000, press the CMA release button and spin the CMA 180°. 3. Connect all peripheral cables and power cords to the rear panel. a.
5. Starting with the thickest gauge cable first, run each cable for I/O module 1 and power module 1 through the loops on the CMA. 6. To ensure smooth operation, test the CMA. Do not pinch or bind the cables. When pulling the J2000 from the rack, the rails lock in the serviceable position. 7.
Procedure 1. Align the ends of the bezel with the right and left J2000 ears. 2. Push the bezel retention clip onto the ball studs on the left and right J2000 ears. Powering on the system The J2000 powers on the solid state drives in an ordered sequence to avoid drawing a large amount of power during system startup.
If the network management ports are connected and DHCP is enabled on your network, obtain the DHCP-assigned IP address by looking in the DHCP server pool of leased addresses for the two MAC addresses assigned to the HPE J2000 NVMe-OF IO Modules. •...
NOTE: Verify the appropriate COM port for use with the J2000 serial CLI. This is determined by your server or laptop configuration. The I/O module IP address is displayed on the serial console in the Manager IP Address field. If the IP address is not initially displayed, press Enter until it appears in the CLI window.
• If DHCP is enabled, the bridge IP addresses cannot be edited. HPE recommends setting the IP addresses of the bridges on both IOMs to the same subnet. This allows multiple paths to the same devices. NOTE: Non-IP Bridge parameters are also available for configuration. These will prompt the user for confirmation of each configuration change.
Mapping a drive namespace to a host Prerequisites Requires Administrator or Operator privileges Procedure 1. Navigate to the HOSTS tab. A list of available hosts is listed with a down arrow located to the right of the Actions column. 2. Click the down-arrow of the host that you want to a drive namespace. A list of available namespaces is displayed.
3. To ensure high availability, verify that the drive has the correct number of host paths connected. # nvme list-subsys In this example, the drive is connected to two hosts: nvme-subsys0 - NQN=nqn.2015-09.com.hpe:nvm.1 +- nvme1 rdma traddr=10.10.10.101 trsvcid=4420 live +- nvme2 rdma traddr=10.10.10.102 trsvcid=4420 live Administrator tasks Access the Administrator tasks by clicking Admin then clicking Admin dashboard in the upper-right area of the WebUI.
The User details window is displayed. b. Enter the required information, and then click Save. 3. Scroll down on the Users tab to the LDAP section. To add an LDAP user: a. Slide the Service enabled toggle to the right (ON) to enable LDAP. b.
NOTE: While you can update the firmware on the device, the preferred method is using Smart Components to update the firmware. Prerequisites Updating firmware requires Administrator privileges. All users can upload firmware. Obtain the latest firmware files from www.hpe.com/storage/DiskEnclosureFirmware or from your HPE support representative. Procedure 1. Select the FIRMWARE tab from the Admin Dashboard.
Viewing and downloading logs Prerequisites All users can view audits and events. Downloading logs requires Administrator privileges. Procedure 1. Select the LOGS tab from the Admin Dashboard. 2. On the Admin Dashboard, click the LOGS tab. The logs include audits and events, and display the time stamps, associated input/output module (IOM), and message. System status indicators are also displayed.
