1: Introduction to the SGI TP9300 Storage Enclosures The TP9300 is comprised of storage enclosures. These enclosures provide all of the logic, power, and I/O functions of the system. Each enclosure can be operated as an independent storage system, or multiple enclosures can be cabled together to create much larger disk arrays.
System Components Figure 1-2 shows a rear view of both a controller enclosure and an expansion enclosure. 2882 RAID controllers Controller enclosure Power supply Power supply Enviornmental status modules Expansion enclosure Power supply Power supply Figure 1-2 TP9300 Controller and Expansion Enclosures (Rear View) See Chapter 2, “Storage Enclosures”...

Chapter 2 Storage Enclosures The storage enclosure is the basic building block of the TP9300. Each storage enclosure provides redundant power and cooling to its individual components. The storage enclosures also house the I/O components of the storage system. There are two types of storage enclosures: controller enclosures and expansion enclosures.
Important: Several references are made in this chapter to the storage management software (TPSSM). For complete information on the operation and use of this software, see SGI TP9400 and SGI TP9500 Software Concepts Guide (007-4305-00x) Figure 2-1 shows a front view of the storage enclosure. The front of the enclosure contains the following components: •...

2: Storage Enclosures Figure 2-2 shows a rear view of both a controller enclosure and an expansion enclosure. The rear of the enclosures contain the following components: • RAID controllers: Controller enclosures contain two 2882 RAID controllers. • Environmental status modules (ESMs): Expansion enclosures have two ESM modules in place of the RAID controllers.

2: Storage Enclosures Disk Drives Each storage enclosure can contain up to 14 low-profile Fibre Channel disk drives. Controller enclosures can be cabled to as many as seven expansion enclosures for a total capacity of 112 disks in one storage system. Each disk is mounted in a sled for ease of installation and removal.
RAID Controllers RAID Controllers Each TP9300 controller enclosure contains two 2882 RAID controller modules. These controllers slide into the same opening that the ESMs occupy on the expansion enclosures. Each controller contains RAID logic, cache memory, a rechargeable battery for the cache, and additional environmental monitoring circuitry. Each controller also has two labels on its rear panel: one shows the MAC address of the controller and one shows the battery service date (see Figure 2-4).

Environmental Status Modules (ESMs) Environmental Status Modules (ESMs) The expansion enclosures contain environmental status modules instead of 2882 RAID controllers (see Figure 2-5). Each environmental status module contains an environmental services monitor board and two slots for SFPs (small form-factor pluggables).
2: Storage Enclosures Fans The storage enclosures each have two fan units. These fan units are mounted in the rear of the enclosure (see Figure 2-6). They pull air through the front bezel to cool the internal components of the enclosure. The air is exhausted out the rear of the fan units. The fans provide redundant cooling of the enclosure.
Power Supplies Power Supplies Each storage enclosure contains two power supplies. These power supplies provide power to the other components in the enclosure by converting incoming AC voltage to DC voltage. The power supplies are redundant: if one supply fails, the other power supply can keep the enclosure running until the failed unit can be replaced.
Tray ID Switch Tray ID Switch The tray ID switch is located between the power supplies on the rear of the enclosure (see Figure 2-8). This switch assigns a unique identifier to every enclosure in the system. The controller enclosure should always have its tray ID set to “00.” The first expansion enclosure should be set to “01.”...
2: Storage Enclosures Link Rate Switch The link rate switch is located on the same panel as the enclosure ID switch, between the power supplies on the rear of the enclosure (see Figure 2-9). The link rate switch controls the speed of the Fibre Channel connections to the enclosure. This switch should always be set to 2 Gbit/s.
SFP Transceivers SFP Transceivers An SFP (small form-factor pluggable) transceiver is a module that fits into the interface connectors on the RAID controllers and the ESM modules (see Figure 2-10). Every Fibre Channel cable that connects to a RAID controller or ESM module requires an SFP transceiver.
Chapter 3 Operating Storage Enclosures This chapter describes the operation of the storage enclosures in the following sections: • “Turning the Power On” on page 27 • “Turning the Power On after an Unexpected Shutdown” on page 29 • “Turning the Power Off” on page 32 •...
3: Operating Storage Enclosures To turn on the enclosure after a normal shutdown (as described in “Turning the Power Off” on page 32), turn on both power switches on the rear of the enclosure (see Figure 3-1) or the main circuit breaker, whichever is applicable. You must turn on both power supply switches to take advantage of the redundant power supplies.
Turning the Power On after an Unexpected Shutdown Turning the Power On after an Unexpected Shutdown The enclosure (and the entire storage array) may shut down unexpectedly under the following conditions: • If the internal temperature of the enclosure exceeds the maximum operating temperature (an overtemp condition).
3: Operating Storage Enclosures In the expansion enclosures, the overtemp indicator on the environmental status module º º illuminates if the temperature reaches 40 C (104 F). If both power supplies shut down, the overtemp indicator cannot come on. See Figure 3-3 on page 37 for the location of the overtemp indicators on expansion enclosures.
Turning the Power On after an Unexpected Shutdown Turning the Power On after an Emergency Shutdown To restart the enclosure after a power failure or emergency shutdown, follow these steps: After the emergency situation is over or power is restored to the site, turn off all power switches (see Figure 3-1 on page 28).
3: Operating Storage Enclosures Turning the Power Off The enclosure is designed to run continuously, 24 hours a day. However, you may need to turn the power off for maintenance, such as upgrading the drives or replacing certain modules.To turn the power off, follow these steps: Use TPSSM to determine the status of your system components and any special instructions before proceeding.
TPSSM provides these procedures. Caution: If the software recovery procedures are not followed, data loss can result. Note: For more information on the storage management software (TPSSM), see the SGI TP9400 and SGI TP9500 RAID Administration Guide (007-4306-00x), the SGI TP9400 and SGI TP9500 Software Concepts Guide (007-4305-00x), and the SGI Storage Area Network Installation Instructions (108-0252-00x).
3: Operating Storage Enclosures Checking the Indicator Lights The enclosure’s indicator lights display the status of the enclosure and its components. Green indicators mean a normal operating status; amber indicators mean a possible failure. It is important that you check all the indicators on the front and rear of the enclosure when you turn on the power.

Upgrading Drives Upgrading Drives You can upgrade drives in the following two ways: • Add drives to empty slots in the enclosure (see “Adding a Drive to an Empty Slot” on page 59). • Replace existing drives with drives of larger capacity (see “Adding Drives of Larger Capacity”...
Page 78
4: Replacing Enclosure Components 7. Review all documentation shipped with the new drive module for updated replacement procedures and other information. Caution: If the temperature of the shipping or storage environment differs significantly from the temperature of the environment in which the drive module will be installed, acclimate the drive module before you install it.
Upgrading Drives Adding Drives of Larger Capacity This section provides guidelines for upgrading the disk drives in a storage array. Carefully read your software documentation and this entire section to determine if you should follow this procedure, a modified version of this procedure, or use a different procedure provided by your operating system.
