Before You Begin; Verifying Component Failure - HP EVA P6000 Replacement Instructions Manual

Before you begin

Observe the following precautions when replacing a
controller.
CAUTION: HP recommends that you perform
the replacement procedure within seven minutes
from when the controller is removed to when it
is replaced in the enclosure. Ensure all necessary
parts are available so the procedure can be
completed without interruption. Removing a
controller module significantly changes the air
flow within the enclosure. Both controllers must
be installed for the enclosure to cool properly.
If a controller fails, leave it in place in the
enclosure until a new module is available to
install. The enclosure could shut down due to
overheating unless the controller is replaced
within the recommended seven minutes.
Parts can be damaged by electrostatic
discharge. Use proper anti-static protection.
Refer to the documentation that shipped with
your system for additional information.
Ensure that the backup configuration settings and
correct firmware version of the iSCSI or
iSCSI/FCoE module are available to restore or
install in a replacement controller. Attempt to save
a backup of your iSCSI or iSCSI/FCoE module
configuration file, as noted in this document, if
you have not previously done so.
Alloy (gray)-colored latches on components like
the controller means the component is
warm-swappable. Halt the I/O of the failing
controller with HP P6000 Command View before
removing this component. See
There are two controllers at the rear of the
controller enclosure. See
the locations.

Saving the iSCSI or iSCSI/FCoE module's
persistent data
NOTE: HP recommends that you save the
iSCSI or iSCSI/FCoE module's persistent data
periodically to avoid data loss from hardware
or software errors.
Be sure to save the configuration information
from each iSCSI or iSCSI/FCoE module before
you replace either controller. Document each of
the iSCSI or iSCSI/FCoE telnet management
port's static or dynamic (DHCP) IP addresses;
they will be needed when configuring the
replacement controller.
To save the iSCSI or iSCSI/FCoE module configuration,
use HP P6000 Command View:
1. In the Navigation pane, select Hardware > iSCSI
Devices > iSCSI Controller 01.
2. Select Set Options.
3. Select Save/Restore configuration.
4. Select either Save Configuration or Full
Configuration Restore.
5. Save the iSCSIContrConfig0001.tgz file.
NOTE:
use a unique file name that includes the
controller number, and it is suggested the
file be saved to a unique array-named
folder.
6. In the Navigation pane, select Hardware > iSCSI
Devices > iSCSI Controller 02.
7. Repeat steps 2 through 5 for the other iSCSI or
iSCSI/FCoE module.

Verifying component failure

Use the following methods to verify component failure:
Analyze any failure messages received. HP Insight
Remote Support provides a recommended fault
monitoring solution.
Check status using HP P6000 Command View:
1. In the navigation pane, select Storage system
> Hardware > Controller Enclosure and then
select a controller.
The status is displayed in the Condition/State
field. An operational state of
