Clustering support Clustering is a means of sharing array groups among controllers to provide redundancy of controllers and servers. This redundancy is important if a hardware component fails. If a hardware component failure occurs in a cluster , another server takes ownership of the array group.
Y our DS4100 storage server has 14 hard disk drive slots; any drive slots not containing hard disk drives will contain blank drive trays. Each of the 14 drive slots must always contain either a blank tray or a hard disk drive.
the DS4000 storage expansion units attached to the DS4100 storage server should be plugged into the same two independent external power circuits as the DS4100. This ensures that the DS4100 storage server and all its attached storage expansion units will have power if only one power circuit is available.
Attention: The DS4100 single-controller storage server does not support hot-swap RAID controllers or power supplies. Yo u will lose access to data if you attempt to remove or replace a functioning (non-failed) RAID controller or power supply in a DS4100 single-controller storage server without first powering down the storage server .
The DS4100 has blank trays in the unused drive bays. To begin installing new drives, you must first remove the blank trays and save them. Each of the 14 bays must always contain either a blank tray or a drive CRU. Yo u can install up to 14 hot-swap drive CRUs in the storage server .
Figure 5 shows the components at the back of the DS4100 single-controller storage server . The DS4100 single-controller storage server has a controller blank instead of a second RAID controller and a power supply blank instead of a second power supply .
fan CRU continues to operate. Yo u must install both fan CRUs to maintain proper cooling within the storage server , even if one fan CRU is not operational. Hot-swap power supplies The DS4100 base storage server comes with two hot-swap power supplies.
RAID controller Each RAID controller contains several connectors and LEDs. Each controller has two host ports and one expansion port for connecting the storage server to hosts or expansion units. Yo u first insert SFPs into the ports and then connect the fibre channel cables.
Attention: When connecting the DS4100 to DS4000 EXP100 storage expansion units, DO NOT use the tens digit (x10) setting. Use only the ones digit (x1) setting to set unique server IDs or enclosure IDs. For more information, see “Server ID (enclosure ID) settings” on page 33.

inserted into DS4100 controller slots. Unpredictable results can occur when nonmatching controller CRUs are present in the same DS4100 chassis. v After the new controller in a DS4100 single-controller storage server completes the boot process, its WWNN will change.
Replacing a RAID controller When instructed to do so by the DS4000 Storage Manager client, replace a RAID controller that has failed. The procedure for replacing a failed controller is different for DS4100 single-controller and base (dual-controller) storage servers.
Note: Avoid operating the DS4100 with controllers of dif ferent cache sizes. Operating the storage server with controllers of different cache size will disable caching and might adversely affect performance. Always verify that you replace a failed controller with a controller that has the same FRU part number .
b. Unlock the SFP module latch: v For SFP modules that contain plastic tabs, unlock the SFP module latch by pulling the plastic tab outward 10°, as shown in Figure 72. v For SFP modules that contain wire tabs, unlock the SFP module latch by pulling the wire latch outward 90°, as shown in Figure 73.
b. Grasp the pull-rings; then pull on the levers and remove the RAID controller . 7. To access the cache battery , place the RAID controller CRU bottom up on a flat surface.
10. Remove the screw that holds the battery access panel. Carefully slide the access panel toward the front to unlatch it from the three pins mounted on the RAID controller bottom panel. 11 . Remove the battery unit and place it on a dry , level surface.
v Replacement Date – Copy the expiration date from the battery label on the old controller . Note: The preferred method of checking for the battery operating age is through the storage server management software. 19. Position the battery inside the replacement RAID controller .
The startup process should complete within five minutes. After the startup process completes, the new RAID controller can accept I/Os from the host server and is ready to be managed by the DS4000 Storage Manager client.
Go to “Manually upgrading the firmware for the DS4100 single-controller storage server.” 28. For the DS4100 base storage server: See the DS4000 Storage Manager client online help for instructions on bringing the controller online. The RAID controller replacement procedure for the DS4100 base storage server is completed.
All factory-delivered DS4100 RAID controllers are shipped with a recent version of controller firmware loaded on the RAID controller , but that firmware version might not match precisely the firmware version of the failed RAID controller you have replaced.
10. Use the SMW to download firmware to the new controller to match the version number shown in your storage subsystem profile. (Refer to your printout.) After 15-20 minutes, the SMW reports a download failure. Click OK to ignore the error warning and instructions and proceed with the following step.
might involve clearing cache memory on the RAID controller that contains the battery that needs to be replaced. This is done by either placing the controller offline before removing it from the DS4100 server or turning of f caching in the DS4100 server , using the DS4000 Storage Manager client.
v Installed date – Write today’ s date v Replacement Date – Write the date three years from today’ s date Note: The preferred method of checking for the battery operating age is through the storage server management software. CONT AINS SEALED LEAD BA TTER Y .
sealed lead acid batteries outside the United States, go to http:// www .ibm.com/ibm/environment/products/batteryrecycle.shtml or contact your local waste disposal facility . 20. Install the RAID controller , as shown in Figure 77. a. Slide the RAID controller all the way into the empty slot.
Installing SFPs and fiber-optic cables Each RAID controller unit has two host ports and one expansion unit port. SFPs are inserted into the ports, and then fibre-channel cables are connected to the SFPs. For information on installing SFPs and fiber-optic cables, see “Working with SFPs and fiber-optic cables” on page 45.
In Figure 78, the existing DS4100 configuration already includes two DS4000 EXP100s. The dashed lines show you how to add a third DS4000 EXP100 to the configuration. To add the new DS4000 EXP100 shown in Figure 78, you would perform the following steps: 1.
