IBM TotalStorage FAStT600 Fibre Channel Storage Server: Installation and User's Guide
Set the RAID controller on a dry, level surface away from magnetic fields.
Save the packing material and documentation in case you need to return the
RAID controller.
10. If DHCP/BootP was used to automatically set the IP address of the controller,
record the MAC address of the upgrade controller and modify the existing
DHCP/BootP record of the RAID controller to be upgraded with the new MAC
address. Failure to modify the DHCP/BootP record will result in problems trying
to manage the storage server using the existing IP address. This step must be
performed before you insert the upgrade controller into the FAStT storage
server.
11. Install the new RAID controller, as follows:
a. Slide the RAID controller all the way into the empty slot.
b. Close both levers until the latch locks into place.
Attention:
When you replace the old RAID controller, the
storage-management software automatically synchronizes the firmware
between the existing controller and the new controller. After you replace a
controller, always use the storage-management software to verify the firmware
levels and nonvolatile storage random access memory (NVSRAM) files.
12. Insert the SFPs according to the instructions in "Installing SFP modules" on
page 34.
13. Connect the fibre-channel cables to their original locations, according to the
instructions in "Installing fiber-optic cables" on page 36.
14. Wait approximately one minute, and then check the green Host Loop LED,
green Expansion Loop LED, and amber Fault LED on the new RAID controller.
Note: If the Expansion Loop LED is off, the RAID controller might not be
inserted correctly. Remove the RAID controller and reinsert it.
15. Bring the controller online by completing the following steps:
a. In the Physical View of the Subsystem Management window, right-click the
controller icon and select Place-->Online.
b. Click Yes when the Controller Online Confirmation window opens.
16. Check that the controller is online. Use either of the two following methods:
v Use the Storage Manager client to verify that the controller is online (up)
and running by selecting the menu option to display the properties of the
controller that has just been replaced. If the controller is not up, you will get
a controller-connection error window instead of the Controller Properties
window. Wait a minute and retry until you get the properties window.
v Check the LEDs at the back of the controller. All Fault LEDs should be off
and the Host Loop and Expansion Loop LEDs should be on.
17. If the Fault LED is on, the Host Loop LED and the Expansion Loop LED stay
off, or any other Fault LED is on, see the Storage Manager client for problem
determination.
Note: The battery LED may be flashing indicated battery charging is in
progress.
18. Repeat step 4 through step 17 for the second controller. However, do not
continue with this step if the new controller is not in online and optimal state
due to reasons other than battery charging and controller cache memory not
matching.
19. Enable controller caching by completing the following steps:
