Verifying The Installation - IBM F10 Service Manual

6. Check the controller and drive modules for faults.
7. Replace the controller module front cover (Figure 6 on page 46).
8. Go to "Verifying the Installation".
End of Procedure

Verifying the Installation

Tools and Equipment
You will need access to the Fibre Channel Storage Manager host software.
Instructions
Use this procedure as a guideline for verifying the subsystem configuration.
1. Read "Configuration Notes" on page 56.
2. Verify the installation using the Fibre Channel Storage Manager host software.
3. Begin normal system operation.

IBM 2102 Model F10 and Model D00 Service Guide
Once the Controller Module has powered up, the controllers will spin up the
drives in the drive modules. Depending on the number of drives in the
subsystem, this process could take several minutes to complete.
e. Host: Have the customer power up or reboot the host system, to allow
recognition of the array.
Go to "Using the Status LEDs" on page 75 and follow the instructions for check
the controller module's status. If any Fault LEDs turn on and remain on, refer to
the appropriate page listed in Table 16 on page 76 and Table 17 on page 78.
Go to "Check the Overall Hardware Status" on page 156 and follow the
instructions for checking the drive modules' status. If any fault LEDs come on
and remain on, refer to the appropriate Service Page listed in Table 33 on
page 157 and Table 34 on page 158.
Some default software parameters (such as RAID level, drive groups, and
caching) are set at the factory before shipment. If Fibre Channel Storage
Manager software is already installed on the host, use it to check the current
software configuration for both the controllers and drives and to verify that both
controller boards and all drives can be seen by the host. You may also need to
change the mode of the controllers from active/passive to active/active.
Refer to the appropriate software documentation for instructions on using the
software.
v If the subsystem is attached to a Windows NT, SUN, or HP-UX host, then
use the Configuration application to verify that both controller boards and all
drives can be seen by the host. Refer to Fibre Channel Storage Manager and
StorWatch Fibre Channel RAID Specialist, User's Guide for instructions on
using the software.
v If the subsystem is attached to an AIX host system, use the Disk Array
Manager to verify that both controller boards and all drives can be seen by
the host. Refer to Fibre Channel Storage Manager, Installation and User's
Guide for the AIX Operating System for instructions on using the software.
Note: The controller module, drive units, or other components in your system
may be identified by names that differ from those used in this book. Keep
this in mind when using the software.
