Storagetek 6540 manual

Cabinet airflow is from front to back. Allow at least 30 inches Bug - When controller firmware version 6. Bug - When using controller firmware version 6. This can occur for both assigned and unassigned drives. Workaround - To synchronize drive status between controllers A and B, it is necessary to reboot both controllers.

Bug - When using controller firmware version 7. A restart of data synchronization then causes both controllers on the primary data replication array to reboot continuously. The other controller will often need to be manually rebooted in order for the array management software to work again with that controller. Workaround - If running controller firmware version If running controller firmware version Bug - When running controller firmware version Workaround - The following serial command can be used to gather the cache size:.

Workaround - Excessive DDE errors may be ignored. If a volume failure on a Sun StorageTek Array results from failed disk drives and you introduce replacement drives that were part of a volume in use by another Sun StorageTek Array, the array might incorrectly initiate a volume migration process with the replacement drives.

Workaround - Perform one of the following tasks:. The patch panel modem power cord is not connected to the cabinet power strip from the factory. To use the modem, power up the system before connecting the modem power cord to the cabinet power strip. Four 20 Amp circuits are required for the cabinet to insure full redundancy. UL allows the planned use of only 16A from each of those 20A circuits.

With all four 20A circuits powered A0, A1, B0, B1 , the cabinet will draw a maximum total of 32A from the four circuits. If the system were to draw more than that 32A, then full AC redundancy cannot be present. Internal components will never be operated below V V nominal when in this cabinet.

This section provides useful operational information not documented elsewhere. Even though the batteries are listed as being in an unknown state, they are still providing protection in the event of a cache failure. No workaround is required. Workaround - You should not lose data unless the batteries fail, or unless you do not have adequate charges remaining in the batteries for cached data to finish being written to disk. Controller tray IDs can be set to any number between 0 and Expansion trays use the values 0 to Controller trays should use the values 80 to 99 except 85 to avoid duplicate tray IDs.

If tray IDs are duplicated, the array will not be able to detect the drives on one of the two trays that have the same ID which one is arbitrary. Do not use ID 85 for the controller tray, as this number is the default setting that indicates everything is operating as expected. Be sure that everyone who uses the destination array does not modify or create any objects including volumes, initiators, mappings, and so on while the import is in progress. When you create a volume and label it, you can start using the volume before it is fully initialized.

During bootup, the battery light might flash for an extended period. The battery charger performs a series of battery qualification tests before starting a battery charge cycle. This series of tests occurs at subsystem power-up. The tests are automatically reinitialized by a timer approximately every 25 hours.

Each controller tray contains a hot-pluggable lithium ion battery pack for cache backup in case of power loss. The on-board battery is capable of holding a 2-GB cache for up to three days 72 hours. The service life of the battery pack is three years, at the end of which the battery pack must be replaced it is field-replaceable.

Write cache mirroring and access to redundant loops on the back end are accomplished through the interconnection module. If the interconnection module is removed, the system switches cache to write-through mode and fails over all volumes to one controller.

The system remains in this mode until the interconnection module is replaced, at which time the system automatically reverts back to normal operations. Battery backups supply power to the cache of both RAID controllers. A single controller tray battery pack is capable of supplying enough power to maintain data in cache for up to seven days. Every system is shipped with redundant battery packs, which can support and maintain up to 4 Gbytes of cache memory per controller 8 Gbytes per system for up to seven days, or up to 8 Gbytes of cache per controller 16 Gbytes per system for up to three days.

A single battery pack is capable of supporting and maintaining up to 2 Gbytes of cache per controller 4 Gbytes per system for up to seven days.

The following is a list of the status codes and descriptions that may display on the numerical LEDs on the controller. An expansion tray Common Storage Module also known as CSM2 is directly attached by an FC loop to a controller tray and cannot operate independently. The expansion trays are connected to the RAID controllers in a controller tray using the drive port connections.

Should you need multiple expansion trays in a configuration, you can connect them together using FC cables. You can add up to 14 expansion trays four sets of three or four expansion trays per set to each controller tray.

Expansion trays are built from a 3 RU chassis and include power supplies and disk drives. In addition, each expansion tray is connected to the tray above and the tray below it by two FC cables. The FCAL switch performs trunking operations, which increases performance by opening multiple threads through the switch at one time.

Refer to Installing and Cabling Trays for details on expansion tray cabling. TABLE describes the expansion tray configuration. One pair per controller. Ports 2A and 2B are disabled, reserved for future use. TABLE describes the ports and components at the back of the expansion tray. For each expansion tray, two power supplies that provide redundant power to the tray. If one power supply fails, the tray is powered by the remaining power supply.
