5 1 Overview The HP StoreVirtual 4630 Storage (HP 4630 system) base configuration is a single-node SAN consisting of one storage blade and one D2700 disk enclosure (the enclosure contains 25 drives). Each storage blade, installed in the blade enclosure, runs the LeftHand OS software and is connected to a D2700 disk enclosure through a SAS switch. Up to seven storage blades can be added, for a total of eight storage blades, in one blade enclosure connected to eight D2700 disk enclosures. Multiple HP 4630 systems can be combined into clusters or management groups as part of the same SAN. NOTE: In this solution, storage system corresponds to a storage blade. There are up to eight storage systems in one HP 4630 system. A maximum of 32 storage systems can be connected together. Hardware components A fully-installed HP 4630 system comprises the following components: HP BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure (1) NOTE: The HP 4630 system only supports the latest c7000 enclosure. You can verify the version using Onboard Administrator. Log in and select the Information panel in Enclosure Information. The Model field should display BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure G2 and the Version field should list firmware version 3.60 or later.

11 2 Backing up HP 4630 system configurations HP recommends that you back up all HP 4630 system components for safekeeping after initially powering on the HP 4630 system, and immediately after making changes to an existing configuration or replacing a component. You must back up each component (for example, the VC Flex-10 module) separately. Backing up or restoring the Virtual Connect domain configuration Use the Virtual Connect Manager to back up the VC Flex-10 module configuration. IMPORTANT: Virtual Connect Manager cannot use backup configurations created with previous versions of Virtual Connect Manager. For example, if you are currently using 2.01, you cannot use a backup configuration that was created using From Onboard Administrator, go to the Virtual Connect Manager, Domain Settings Backup/Restore pane. 2. Click Backup Configuration. 3. Click Save on File Download in the popup window. 4. Navigate to the hard drive location for the backup file. 5. Name the file (usually the domain name), and then click Save. To restore a domain configuration: IMPORTANT: configuration. You must power off all storage blades in the chassis before restoring the 1. Browse to the backup file. 2. Select the file. Backing up or restoring the Virtual Connect domain configuration 11

12 3. Select Ignore enclosure serial number in restored configuration file to restore a configuration that was generated on another enclosure. If this item is not selected, a configuration generated on another enclosure is rejected. 4. Select Ignore firmware version in restored configuration file. 5. Click Restore Configuration. 6. Confirm the domain configuration to be restored, and then click OK. Backing up the SAS switch The SAS switch configuration cannot be backed up using the CMC. If you are replacing one SAS switch, duplicate the configuration from the other switch. If you are replacing both SAS switches, you must restore the configuration from a backup captured using the VSM CLI. For information about backing up and restoring the SAS configuration using the VSM CLI, see the HP Virtual SAS Manager User Guide. IMPORTANT: HP recommends that you do not change the SAS zoning on the SAS switches or the cabling between the SAS switches and the disk enclosures. See HP 4630 system cabling (page 35) for the recommended cabling. Backing up remaining HP 4630 system configurations Use one of the following methods to back up the remaining HP 4630 system configurations: Use your own system backup utility to back up data. Back up the configuration to an FTP server. 12 Backing up HP 4630 system configurations

18 Next steps 6. Assign an IP address to the storage blade. The storage blade is now ready for use. Install the CMC from the HP StoreVirtual Management Software DVD. Open the CMC, and use the wizards on the Getting Started Launch Pad to begin using the HP 4630 storage system. If the storage system was part of a management group and contained valid data, perform the following steps to recover data from the disk enclosure: 1. Connect to the storage blade using ilo or the USB dongle connected to the storage blade. On the console, enter start at the prompt and then log in. 2. Select Support Operations. 3. Select Initiate OS Recovery. On the screen that displays, select OK to confirm the recovery operation. After the restore operation completes, the storage system restarts. Repairing a storage system For instructions on repairing a storage system, see the Replacing hardware chapter and the Powering off the storage system section in the HP StoreVirtual Storage User Guide. Disk replacement in the D2700 and rebuild behavior When RAID is configured, the drive in bay 25 is assigned as a hot spare drive. When a disk is removed or fails, the hot spare automatically begins rebuilding. When the failed disk is replaced, the replacement disk begins rebuilding rather than becoming the hot spare. At that time, the disk in bay 25 transitions back to being a hot spare. This means that a simple disk replacement involves two rebuilds. IMPORTANT: The hot spare may take up to 30 seconds to transition to the rebuilding state. Confirm drive status in the CMC before removing any drives. If more than one disk fails or is removed without breaking a RAID set, the hot spare begins rebuilding one of the failed or removed disks. When multiple failed disks are replaced, the P721m controller attempts to restore the disk in bay 25 as a hot spare, but it can only rebuild a single disk at a time. Any disks that are queued for rebuilding will be reported as "Normal" in the CMC. The Disk Status tab in the CMC shows all disks as unsafe to remove, except the disk that is currently rebuilding. NOTE: Although there is a feature available that allows you to activate the hot spare when a Predictive Failure occurs on a disk drive, this feature is not currently supported. Upgrading LeftHand OS software For instructions on upgrading the LeftHand OS software, see the HP StoreVirtual Storage Upgrade Guide. Adding capacity to an existing HP 4630 SAN The HP 4630 SAN can be expanded in single node increments. Adding additional nodes to an existing SAN requires field installation. Before adding nodes to an existing SAN, upgrade to the latest LeftHand OS software using the CMC or ilo. Otherwise, the new nodes will operate at the older software version. Also, be aware that you must edit the SAS zoning when you add capacity. 1. Install the new storage blade in the c7000 enclosure. Leave the storage blade in the Power OFF state. 2. Install the new D2700 disk enclosure in the rack. 18 Maintaining the HP 4630 system

19 3. Before powering on the new disk enclosure, connect SAS cables from the disk enclosure to the 6G SAS BL switches. 4. Power on the new disk enclosure. 5. Using the Virtual SAS Manager, create a zone using all drives in the new disk enclosure. To identify the disk enclosure, use the switch port number connected to the disk enclosure. 6. Assign the zone to blade bay in which the new storage blade is installed. 7. Manually power on the storage blades for the existing SAN and wait for the management group to come up in the CMC. 8. Discover the new storage blade in the CMC using the Find feature and then configure RAID. 9. Add the newly discovered systems to an existing management group and cluster, or create a new cluster, if desired. When adding the new storage to the existing cluster, the volume and snapshot data restripes on all the storage systems. Upgrading firmware Follow the procedures for upgrading the firmware of each component located in the individual component product user guides. For more information, see the component guides listed in Additional component removal and replacement instructions (page 20). The following operations will take a volume offline, unless the volume and management group or cluster are configured for high availability: Upgrading the controller firmware All controllers must run the same firmware version. (For instructions, see the component guides listed in Table 4 (page 20).) Upgrading the disk enclosure firmware Upgrading the disk enclosure drive firmware Upgrading the SAS switch firmware IMPORTANT: Be sure to first power down the storage blades before upgrading the disk enclosure drive firmware or SAS switch firmware. Upgrading the VC Flex-10 or FlexFabric firmware Upgrading the storage blade firmware If a volume is not replicated, upgrades to the storage blade firmware and OA firmware (BIOS) will take the volume offline. NOTE: Before upgrading the OA firmware, ensure that all storage blades in the chassis are running newer BIOS and ilo firmware. Upgrading firmware 19

Identifying hot pluggable and non-hot pluggable components IMPORTANT: Hot add and hot removal of the disk enclosures are not supported by the HP 4630 solution. 20 Removing and replacing the HP 4630 system components

21 The following HP 4630 system components are hot-pluggable; therefore, you do not need to power down the device before replacing a part: D2700 disk drives External fans Power supplies Storage blade disk drives All other HP 4630 system components are not hot-pluggable. You must first power down the device before replacing a part. CAUTION: To prevent losing access to data during any maintenance operation on components of the SAS fabric, including the SAS switches, SAS cables, and I/O modules on the disk enclosure, first power down the storage blades using the procedures to shut down the management group in the HP StoreVirtual Storage Online Help or the HP StoreVirtual Storage User Guide. Replacing the storage blade and storage blade components There are two ways that the storage blade can be replaced: Replace the storage blade by moving all working components (drives, controllers, FlexLOM) from the original storage blade to the new storage blade. The original storage blade is not bootable and you receive a new storage blade with new physical drives. You must image the new storage blade and initiate the OS recovery procedure using the TUI. For more detailed instructions on replacing the storage blade or storage blade components, see Table 4 (page 20) for resources. To initiate OS recovery: 1. Connect to the storage blade using ilo or the USB dongle connected to the storage blade. On the console, enter start at the prompt and then log in. 2. Select Support Operations. 3. Select Initiate OS Recovery. On the screen that displays, select OK to confirm the recovery operation. After the restore operation completes, the storage system restarts. Replacing a storage blade This section describes the implications for the HP 4630 system software and not the mechanical aspects of replacing the storage blade. If possible, you should verify the firmware version of a replacement storage blade before inserting it in the blade enclosure: If an empty bay is available: 1. Install the replacement blade in the empty bay. 2. Update the firmware on all components. 3. Install the replacement blade in the bay where the failed blade was installed. If an empty bay is unavailable: 1. Power down the failed blade. 2. Using SAS Virtual Manager, disassociate the zone from the blade bay. 3. Install the replacement blade in the bay and update the firmware on all components. 4. Power down the storage blade. 5. Using SAS Virtual Manager, associate the zone with the blade bay. Replacing the storage blade and storage blade components 21

22 6. Power on the blade bay. CAUTION: Be sure to only replace a storage blade in the bay from which it was removed. Do not swap or move storage blades in a c7000 blade enclosure. If you do, nodes will lose failover ability and you may lose connectivity to the disks and network. For cooling practices, do not leave a server bay open for an extended period of time. When removing an active component, immediately replace it with a blank. IMPORTANT: If the boot disk(s) from the blade being replaced are available, placing them in the new blade allows it to boot to its original configuration. Do not reset the network settings if you are using the original boot disk(s) on the blade being replaced. If the original boot disk(s) are not available or are damaged, the blade must be re-imaged using a recovery DVD. Doing so requires that the administrator access the console of the blade through the ilo (or SUV dongle) to set the server name and IP address. If you are not using the original boot disk(s), be sure to reset the network settings. The HP 4630 system should handle a single blade failure for an extended period of time without loss of data or lost access to the data. The cluster, however, will remain in a degraded state until the replacement blade is functioning. Replacing a storage blade system board Prepare the system board for replacement NOTE: The following steps can only be performed if the storage blade is bootable and accessible from the CMC. If the storage blade does not boot, skip these steps and go to Replace the system board. 1. Confirm the RAID and customer data. Ensure that RAID is configured on the old blade and that the customer data exists on the disk enclosures. 2. Confirm the IP address. Ensure that the existing storage blade is configured with a static or reserved IP address and not DHCP. If necessary, convert the storage blade to a static or reserved IP address. Record this IP address for verification after the process is complete. 3. Record the MAC address (only if the FlexLOM needs to be replaced). Record the MAC address of the FlexLOM for later use. Also record the storage blade hostname for later verification. 4. Delete the NIC bond. Delete any NIC bond previously established on the old blade by using the console or the CMC. The NIC bond must be deleted because it retains the MAC address of the old FlexLOM. If you are unable to delete the NIC bond at this time, make sure to delete it on the power cycle following the blade swap. Replace the system board 1. Power down the storage blade. To power down the storage blade from the CMC, see the Powering off the storage system section in the HP StoreVirtual Storage User Guide. 22 Removing and replacing the HP 4630 system components

23 2. Note the storage blade bay number, and then remove the storage blade from the blade enclosure. NOTE: For instructions on removing and replacing storage blade components, see Table 4 (page 20) for the applicable server blade maintenance and service guide. 3. Ensure that all components of the original blade are in place in the replacement blade. In particular, ensure that: The original system disks are in place. This task is essential. The memory size of the replacement blade is a minimum of 64 GB or larger. The HP Smart Array P721m controller card with cache module is in place. The HP Smart Array P220i controller card with cache module is in place. 4. Insert the blade in its original bay in the blade chassis. 5. Connect to ilo, create a user (the ilo local user name), and assign the password (make sure the password is the same password that is assigned to the other blades). The IP address is configured automatically to be the same IP address as the original blade. For more information, see HP 4630 system cabling (page 35). 6. Boot the storage blade. 7. Verify that the storage blade can access the disk storage by using the CMC. Replacing a storage blade disk drive The system disk on a storage blade comprises a logical RAID 1 disk that is mirrored over two physical SFF disk drives in the storage blade. As long as one drive continues to operate, the storage blade can operate. You do not need to power down the storage blade; you can hot-swap disk drives. However, you must replace the removed drive with a drive of the same size or larger. To replace a disk drive in the storage blade: 1. Verify the disk drive has failed as follows: The drive failure LED is lit. The Alarm panel shows a failed drive. 2. If the product is under warranty, generate an ADU report zip bundle for the failed drive. 3. Generate the AHS log bundle using the ilo interface. 4. Remove the failed drive. If you remove the wrong drive, the mirror set will break, and the storage blade may crash. Reinsert the good drive and reboot the storage blade. 5. Insert the replacement drive. The alarm clears and the RAID controller begins rebuilding. You can view the rebuild progress in the hardware information in the CMC. NOTE: If both drives in the storage blade have failed and the system does not boot, replace the drives with newer drives, image the storage system, and follow the blade replacement procedure using TUI. Replacing both storage blade disk drives As long as one disk drive in the storage blade continues to operate, the storage blade can operate. However if both disk drives fail, the system disk is lost and you must restore the storage blade. To reinstall a storage blade: 1. Remove both disk drives. Replacing the storage blade and storage blade components 23

24 2. Insert two replacement drives. 3. Reinstall the storage blade by following the quick restore instructions, see Performing field system recovery of the HP 4630 storage system (page 15). CAUTION: After performing field recovery, do not reconfigure RAID using the CMC. Instead, log in to TUI using ilo and select Initiate OS Recovery. The OS configuration is restored from a backup and the storage blade is rebooted. After the reboot, the storage blade is discovered as part of the management group. Replacing the FlexibleLOM NOTE: For detailed instructions, see Table 4 (page 20) for the applicable server blade maintenance and service guide. 1. Verify component failure by checking the following: The storage system cannot be discovered using the CMC. The link status shows it is off. 2. Power down the storage blade. 3. Remove the storage blade from the blade enclosure. 4. Remove the top cover from the storage blade. 5. Disconnect the capacitor module cable and remove the P721m controller. 6. Remove the FlexibleLOM module. 7. Install the replacement FlexibleLOM module. 8. Reinstall the P721m controller and reconnect the capacitor module cable. 9. Reinstall the top cover on the storage blade. 10. Reinstall the storage blade in the blade enclosure in the same bay. 11. Power on the storage blade. 12. After the FlexLOM is replaced, generate a new license key and install it on the storage system. 13. If networking was configured with DHCP, you must update the DHCP reservations and assign the same IP address to the replacement FlexLOM network port. Replacing the P721m controller Figure 6 (page 25) shows the P721m controller. 24 Removing and replacing the HP 4630 system components

Capacitor pack cable connector To replace the P721m controller: NOTE: For detailed instructions, see Installing a mezzanine controller in a previously configured server blade in the HP Smart Array Controllers for HP ProLiant Servers User Guide. For detailed instructions on replacing the cache module and capacitor, see Upgrade and replacement procedures in the HP Smart Array Controllers for HP ProLiant Servers User Guide. 1. Verify component failure by checking the following: Failure to detect physical drives and logical drives or the P721m RAID BIOS posted error during POST. An alarm displays for a failed RAID controller. 2. Power down the storage blade using the CMC. See the Powering off the storage system instructions in the HP StoreVirtual Storage User Guide. Wait at least 1 minute for the blade to power down. This procedure flushes all data from the cache. CAUTION: Since the HP 4630 storage system uses external data storage, ensure that the storage blade is the first unit to be powered down and the last to be powered up. This precaution ensures that the system does not mark the drives as failed when the storage blade is powered up. 3. Remove the storage blade from the blade enclosure. 4. Remove the top cover from the storage blade. 5. Remove the failed P721m controller. 6. Remove the cache module from the failed P721m controller. 7. Install the replacement P721m controller in slot 2. Connect the cache module and capacitor pack to the controller. 8. Reinstall the top cover on the storage blade. 9. Reinstall the storage blade (in the same bay) in the blade enclosure chassis. After replacing the P721m controller, verify the BIOS settings and ensure the P220i controller is set as the boot controller. Otherwise, the storage blade will not boot through the LeftHand OS software. 10. Power on the storage blade. Replacing the P721m controller 25

26 11. Verify that the storage blade boots correctly and the alarm for the failed RAID controller has cleared. 12. Confirm that all storage blades are running the same firmware version. NOTE: Use the CMC Hardware Report to view the controller firmware version. If the storage blades are not running the same firmware version, update the controller firmware with the Smart Update Firmware DVD located at Replacing the P220i controller NOTE: For detailed replacement instructions, see Table 4 (page 20) for the applicable server blade maintenance and service guide. 1. Verify component failure by checking that the storage blade failed to boot or the P220i RAID BIOS posted error during POST. NOTE: You cannot back up data on the OS drives. A copy of the OS is backed up on the data drives. The backup from the data drives will be restored to the OS drives during storage blade replacement and recovery. 2. If the storage system is accessible through the CMC, power down the storage blade using the CMC. See the Powering off the storage system instructions in the HP StoreVirtual Storage User Guide. Wait at least 1 minute for the storage blade to power down. This procedure flushes all data from the cache. CAUTION: Since the HP 4630 storage system uses external data storage, make sure that the storage blade is the first unit to be powered down and the last to be powered up. This precaution ensures that the system does not mark the drives as failed when the storage blade is powered up. 3. Remove the storage blade from the blade enclosure. 4. Remove the top cover from the storage blade. 5. Disconnect the cache module capacitor pack from the controller. 6. Remove the P220i RAID controller. 7. Install the replacement P220i RAID controller and reconnect the cache module capacitor pack to the controller. 8. Reinstall the top cover on the storage blade. 9. Reinstall the storage blade in the blade enclosure. 10. Power on the storage blade. 11. Confirm that all storage blades are running the same firmware version. NOTE: Use the CMC Hardware Report to view the controller firmware version. If the storage blades are not running the same firmware version, update the controller firmware with the Smart Update Firmware DVD located at Replacing the VC Flex-10 or HP VC FlexFabric module CAUTION: Be sure to update the firmware on the new VC Flex-10 or HP VC FlexFabric module. This operation will take the volumes offline. 26 Removing and replacing the HP 4630 system components

27 IMPORTANT: Clients will lose connectivity during this procedure unless using a bonded network with a pair of network switches. If not using a bonded network, clients should be disconnected before starting the procedure. In addition, both externally facing uplinks must be connected to the external network of your volumes. If uplinks are not connected to the external network, connectivity will be lost when one of the Flex-10 or FlexFabric switches goes offline during a firmware update. To replace a VC Flex-10 or VC FlexFabric module: 1. Disconnect the network connections into the VC Flex-10 or VC FlexFabric module (bay 1 or 2). 2. Remove the VC Flex-10 or VC FlexFabric module. 3. Replace the VC Flex-10 or VC FlexFabric module. 4. Reconnect the cables that were disconnected in Step 1 to their original ports. 5. Restore the configuration settings. For more information, see Backing up HP 4630 system configurations (page 11). Replacing the SAS switch This section provides instructions for removing and replacing the HP 6Gb SAS BL switch in the HP 4630 system. IMPORTANT: If a SAS switch fails, storage access continues through the remaining SAS switch. This causes storage access to set a preference to all LUNs in the remaining data path. This preference remains in place until the controllers in the blade enclosure are power cycled, or the remaining path becomes unavailable. To replace the SAS switch: 1. Log in to the Onboard Administrator and identify the SAS switch that has failed. 2. Power down the storage blades. 3. Power down the SAS switch from the Onboard Administrator. NOTE: When a switch is powered down, the following message displays: Resetting or toggling the power state of the interconnect could result in an interruption of I/O. Are you sure? Select OK to continue. 4. Power down the disk enclosures. 5. Disconnect all SAS cables from the switch; note which cable goes to which port. 6. Remove the failed switch from the blade enclosure chassis. 7. Install the replacement switch in the same slot in the blade enclosure chassis. Once installed, the SAS switch powers on automatically. 8. In the Systems and Devices section of the HP Virtual SAS Manager, it may indicate a firmware mismatch ( Mismatch displays next to the SAS switch). Select Update SAS Switch Firmware to display version information. If the versions that display are the same, no upgrade is needed; continue with step 10. If the versions do not match, continue with upgrading the switch firmware. NOTE: If the versions do not match, the Force VSM Active option will be unavailable. IMPORTANT: Do not attach the SAS cables to the replacement switch until the firmware update is complete. Replacing the SAS switch 27

28 9. When the upgrade is complete, select Reset Hardware to activate the new firmware on the replacement switch. 10. In the HP Virtual SAS Manager, select Force VSM Active. NOTE: This selection copies the zone and firmware information from the active switch to the passive, replacement switch. The replacement switch then becomes the active switch. 11. Reconnect the SAS cables to their original locations; see HP 4630 system cabling (page 35). 12. Power on the disk enclosures. Using the HP Virtual SAS Manager, verify the status of each disk enclosure and the zone status. Ensure that the HP Virtual SAS Manager is not reporting any warnings or errors. 13. Power on the storage blades. NOTE: The SAS switch should now provide a redundant access path to storage. Storage controllers will distribute I/O evenly over the switches upon restart. Replacing a SAS cable CAUTION: Failing to follow these steps in this order may damage the I/O module. 1. Before disconnecting a SAS cable, identify the storage blade that is paired with the disk enclosure connected to the SAS cable. Then, power down the storage blade using the CMC. Select storage system in the management group and select either the Power off or Reboot option to shut down the storage blade. 2. Manually power off the D2700 disk enclosures. 3. Replace the SAS cable. 4. Using the HP Virtual SAS Manager, verify the status of the disk enclosures and zones. 5. Power on the storage blade. See HP 4630 system cabling (page 35) for an illustration of HP 4630 system connectivity. Replacing the disk enclosure I/O module This section describes how to remove and replace the disk enclosure I/O module on the D2700 disk enclosure. CAUTION: Before replacing the I/O module, identify the storage blade that is paired with the disk enclosure containing the failed I/O module. Then, power down the storage blade using the CMC. Select storage system in the management group and select either the Power off or Reboot option to shut down the storage blade. Power down the disk enclosure before disconnecting a SAS cable. To replace the component: 1. Disconnect the SAS cables. 2. Position one hand under the module, and with the other hand, pull the module out of the enclosure (3). Squeeze the button on the bottom of the locking lever (1) and rotate out the handle (2). See Figure 7 (page 29). 28 Removing and replacing the HP 4630 system components

29 Figure 7 Removal of the I/O module CAUTION: For best cooling practices, do not operate the enclosure for extended periods with more than one component or blank removed. When removing an active component, replace it with a blank. 3. Open the locking lever on the replacement I/O module. 4. Insert the module into the enclosure opening. 5. Push the module into the enclosure until a click is detected when fully seated. 6. Reconnect the SAS cables. 7. Power on the disk enclosure. 8. Using the HP Virtual SAS Manager, verify the status of the disk enclosures and zones: Ensure that both I/O modules are running the same firmware version. If not, upgrade the firmware to the latest version. Verify that the zone is properly assigned to correct blade bay. 9. Power on the storage blade. Log in to the CMC and verify that the RAID status is Normal. Replacing the disk enclosure power supply There are two power supplies in each disk enclosure chassis. The system can operate with a single power supply. 1. Remove a power cable. 2. Remove the power supply unit. 3. Insert a new power supply unit. 4. Reattach the power cable. Replacing the disk enclosure fan There are two fans in each disk enclosure chassis. The system can operate for a short period with one fan removed. Replacing the disk enclosure power supply 29

30 1. Lift up on the mounting latch (1). Figure 8 Removing a fan 2. Position one hand under the fan, and with the other hand, pull the fan out of the enclosure (2). 3. Insert the replacement fan into the enclosure opening. 4. Push the replacement fan into the enclosure until a click is detected when fully seated. Replacing the disk enclosure hard drive You do not need to power down the storage blade; you can hot-swap disk drives. For general instructions on replacing disk drives and ensuring data availability, see the HP StoreVirtual Storage User Guide. IMPORTANT: Before removing a drive from the disk enclosure, HP recommends that you use the CMC to turn on the drive LED so that you can physically identify the correct drive to replace (as described in step 1). 1. If the drive is still active, open the CMC, select Storage, and open the Disk Setup panel. If the Safe To Remove column displays Yes, turn on the drive LED to locate the drive. 2. Verify the disk drive has failed as follows: The drive failure LED is lit. The Alarm panel shows a failed drive. 3. Generate the support bundle using the CMC. Right click the storage system and select Export Storage System Support Bundle. 4. Remove the failed drive. 5. Insert the replacement drive. When replacing a drive, ensure that the drive capacity is the same or greater than the other drives in the disk enclosure. Installing a lower capacity drive will prevent the RAID controller from rebuilding. Also ensure the drive type is the same. For example, do not replace a SAS drive with a midline SAS drive. The alarm clears and the RAID controller begins rebuilding. You can view the rebuild progress in the hardware information in the CMC. NOTE: If there is more than one failed drive in the disk enclosure and the RAID Setup panel in the CMC shows the RAID status as off, you must use the Repair Storage System feature after replacing the failed drives and before adding the storage system to the management group or cluster. See Using Repair Storage System in the HP StoreVirtual Storage User Guide or the HP StoreVirtual Storage Online Help for more information. Replacing the disk enclosure 1. Power off the storage blade to which the failed disk enclosure is connected. 2. Power off the disk enclosure. 30 Removing and replacing the HP 4630 system components

31 3. Record the bay number of each drive and then remove all drives from the disk enclosure. 4. Disconnect the disk enclosure from the SAS switches. Be sure to identify the which cable goes into each switch port. 5. Install the drives in the new disk enclosure so they are in the same order they were in the original disk enclosure. 6. Connect the disk enclosure to the SAS switches using the same ports. 7. Power on the disk enclosure. 8. Log in to the Virtual SAS Manager and verify the status of the disk enclosures and zones. If for some reason the zoning is not correct, create a zone using all drives in the disk enclosure and then assign the zone to the bay of the storage blade. 9. Power on the storage blade. The RAID controller imports the RAID configuration from the drives and LeftHand OS metadata mounts properly. Store and manager processes start properly using the LeftHand OS metadata. The storage systems displays in the management group and volumes begin resynchronizing. NOTE: If either of the following issues occur, you must use the Repair Storage System feature and reconfigure the RAID before adding the storage system to the management group. See Using Repair Storage System in the HP StoreVirtual Storage User Guide or the HP StoreVirtual Storage Online Help for more information. The RAID controller reports cache data loss during POST or a cache corrupt event is received. In the CMC, the Disk Setup panel shows the drives offline or the RAID Setup panel shows the RAID status as off. Replacing the disk enclosure 31
