Component replacement and safety guidelines

Before you begin, read the following guidelines to help you complete the component replacement successfully and safely.

Required tools

The following items are required for some replacement procedures:

  • T-8 Torx screwdriver
  • T-10 Torx screwdriver
  • T-15 Torx screwdriver
  • T-25 Torx screwdriver
  • T-30 Torx screwdriver
  • Phillips screwdriver

Component replacement guidelines


Removing a component significantly changes the air flow within the enclosure. Components must be installed for the enclosure to cool properly. If a component fails, leave it in place in the enclosure until a new component is available to install.

Use the following guidelines when replacing a component in the HPE StoreOnce System, or when using StoreOnce Capacity Upgrade Kits.


For the JBOD enclosure (600 LFF), components must be replaced one at a time. Replacing multiple parts at the same time is not supported.

  • Before replacing a component, verify its status to ensure that it needs replacement. To verify component status, check the following for component health and location information:
    • Hardware Monitoring (StoreOnce Management Console)
    • Event Log (StoreOnce Management Console)
    • System Information (iLO)
    • Integrated Management Log (iLO)
    • Status LEDs (Hardware)
  • Parts can be damaged by electrostatic discharge. Keep parts in electrostatic containers until needed and ensure you are properly grounded when touching static-sensitive components.
  • Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends waiting until periods of low storage system activity to replace a component.
  • When replacing components at the rear of the rack, cabling might obstruct access to the component. Carefully move any cables out of the way to avoid loosening any connections. In particular, avoid cable damage that might be caused by the following:
    • Kinking or excessive bending.
    • Disconnecting cables without capping. If uncapped, cable performance might be impaired by contact with dust, metal, or other surfaces.
    • Placing removed cables on the floor or other surfaces, where they might be walked on or otherwise compressed.

RAID controller failures

The StoreOnce System boots from the p408i (Smart Array) and the two small form factor OS disks in the server. If a catastrophic failure of the boot RAID controller occurs, the system will not boot. This failure may only be diagnosed from the server POST messages where the controller may report an error or a lockup code.
In these cases, contact HPE Support and provide information about the reported error code.
Other forms of non-catastrophic RAID controller failure, or failure of the P408e-p Smart Array RAID controller in the system, will be reported in the Event Log of the StoreOnce Management Console.

information NOTE:
If RAID fails and the StoreOnce System is still functioning, you can also get information, including license keys, by generating a Support ticket.

Replace the RAID components

When replacing the P408e-p Smart Array controller, be sure to replace the card into the same slot from which it was removed. Make sure that the card is connected to the internal SAS data storage. If the system has been expanded, also connect the card to the external SAS storage.


To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, consult the safety information and user documentation provided with the server and the RAID component before replacing the component.

HPE Smart Array P408e-p Smart Array SR Gen10

The P408e-p Smart Array controller card is located in HPE StoreOnce 3660 Systems in PCIe slot 6, and is located in StoreOnce 5260 and 5660 Systems in PCIe slot 3 and 6.

Disk replacement

Disk numbering

See Figures 1-2
This chapter describes how to replace individual disks within a RAID set.
For instructions on how to connect additional storage by adding a capacity upgrade enclosure to an HPE StoreOnce System, see the printed documentation supplied with the capacity upgrade.
Disk numbering

Primera 600 LFF disk bay numbering

Disk bay numbering and initial configuration of the enclosure
The following drawing provides the numbering of the disk bays within the storage enclosure drawers. The drawing also shows the initial configuration of an enclosure with some disk bays populated. The base enclosure that comes with the system and each capacity upgrade enclosure is initially configured this way.
The disks in the capacity upgrade kits must be added to the storage enclosures in a specific order. Each drawer has a label that specifies the sequence in which each set of 11 disks must be installed.
Primera 600 LFF disk bay numbering

RAID configuration

All HPE StoreOnce Systems are supplied with their base storage already configured for use.

Table 1. RAID configuration

HPE StoreOnce model Minimum number of disks Notes
HPE StoreOnce 3660 10 x 8 TB The StoreOnce 3660 uses RAID 6 (8+2).
The 10 storage disks in the front server disk bays are in a RAID 6 (8+2) set. Two disks can be lost without loss of backup data. The hot spare disk is in bay 11 at initial configuration.
HPE StoreOnce 5260 12 x 16 TB The StoreOnce 5260 uses RAID 6 (9+2) + 1 hot spare in externally connected SAS storage enclosures.
Each external storage enclosure contains 12 storage disks in a RAID 6 (9+2) set + 1 hot spare. Two disks can be lost without loss of backup data. The hot spare disk is in bay 11 at initial configuration.
The StoreOnce 5260 server node contains SSD disks for the operating system and data cache only.
HPE StoreOnce 5660 12 x 16 TB The StoreOnce 5660 uses RAID 6 (9+2) + 1 hot spare in externally connected SAS storage enclosures. Each external storage enclosure contains 12 storage disks in a RAID 6 (9+2) set + 1 hot spare. Two disks can be lost without loss of backup data. The hot spare disk is in bay 12 at initial configuration.
The StoreOnce 5660 server node contains SSD disks for the operating system and data cache only.

  • It is important to replace failed disks promptly.
    Configure SNMP traps and email alerts to ensure that you are alerted to disk failures. If a disk failure occurs, you will receive notification immediately and can replace the disks.
  • The StoreOnce 5260 and 5660 systems both have SSD disks in the head of the server which are in a RAID 6 set with no spare. In the event of failure, you will need to replace the disk.

Hot spare disk and LEDs on HPE StoreOnce Systems
HPE StoreOnce 3660, 5260, and 5660 Systems include hot spare disks in the external enclosures. If one disk fails in a RAID set, a hot spare disk automatically takes it place until the failed disk is replaced. The behavior of the LEDs on the hot spare disk is as follows:

  • Off: The LED is off on a hot spare disk until it becomes active due to the failure of another disk in the RAID set. It is flickering green when in use.
  • On (green): The LED is solid green on the hot spare disk until it becomes active due to the failure of another disk in the RAID set. It is flashing green when in use.

information NOTE:
HPE StoreOnce 3660, 5260, and 5660 systems use a feature called Predictive Spare Activation for improved storage fault tolerance. Predictive Spare Activation mode will activate a spare drive anytime a member drive within an array reports a predictive failure. The data is copied to the spare drive while the RAID volume is still healthy. Assigning one or more online spare drives to an array enables you to postpone replacement of faulty drives.

Ordering the correct replacement disk for a failed disk

Always quote the serial number and product number for the enclosure with the failed disk so that HPE Support can replace the correct part. For replacement disk part numbers, see Part numbers lists for replacement parts.


HPE strongly recommends replacing a failed disk with a fresh disk from the factory. Do not substitute a disk from another RAID set.


If there is a problem adding a Capacity Upgrade Kit for the first time, the whole kit must be replaced, not just the failed component. This requirement is different than capacity upgrade kits for older StoreOnce models, and is because StoreOnce Gen4 capacity upgrade kits are factory preconfigured for faster integration with no storage parity initialization performance impact.

  2. On the main menu, select Settings.
  3. In the System section, click the License Management panel.
  4. On the License Management screen, expand the Actions menu and select Remove Cards.

Fibre Channel card considerations

For those products that have Fibre Channel cards, the following VTL and StoreOnce Catalyst device configuration notes apply:

  • If using only VTL over Fibre Channel, no further configuration is required when replacing the Fibre Channel card.
  • The World Wide Port Name (WWPN) and World Wide Node Name (WWNN) of the StoreOnce Catalyst over Fibre Channel device that is presented on a StoreOnce Fibre Channel port currently uses the WWPN / WWNN of the FC card. StoreOnce generated WWPNs / WWNNs are not used. Replacing the FC card will result in a new Catalyst over Fibre Channel WWPN / WWNN. After replacing a FC card the StoreOnce user will need to rezone their clients with the new WWPN / WWNN. The replaced port will not be seen by clients until this rezoning is performed.

Removing and replacing a Fibre Channel/10GbE or 25GbE optical SFP

About this task
The SFP is on the rear of the server and serves as the port transceiver for connecting to the FC SAN, or 10GbE or 25GbE network. Make sure that you have the correct SFP for the connection type.


When the system is on, do not stare at the optical transceivers. Doing so could damage your eyes.

Procedure

  1. Disconnect the FC, 10GbE, or 25GbE optical cable.
  2. Lift the retaining clip and slide the SFP carefully out of the FC or Ethernet card port.
  3. Remove the replacement SFP module from its protective packaging.


When handling the SFP, do not touch the gold contact leads to prevent damage.

  1. Carefully slide the replacement SFP into the FC or Ethernet card port until fully seated.
  2. Close the retaining clip to secure the SFP in place.
  3. Place the failed SFP into the packaging for return to HPE.
  4. Reconnect the FC, 10GbE, or 25GbE optical cable to the SFP.
  5. Verify that the link status LED is correct.

Reinstall the product software

In the rare occurrence of a complete operating system failure, you may need to reinstall the product software using the StoreOnce Quick Restore ISO Image. This task is normally carried out on the recommendation and under the supervision of HPE Support.
The StoreOnce Gen4 Quick Restore process allows customers to recover their StoreOnce systems without losing backed up data, provided the storage is intact and operational.
