3.2.1 Troubleshooting the DECarray
The following sections describe the procedure for isolating a fault or
failure in the DECarray.
3.2.1.1 Introduction
The DECarray consists of a power controller to supply ac power for
internally installed storage enclosures, a 16-port I/O panel to connect the
DECarray to a system or systems, and the DECarray cabinet assembly.
The DECarray also consists of three DSSI cables; the 108-inch cable (PN
BC21Q–09 or BC22Q–09), that connects the DECarray to the system(s),
the 70-inch cable (PN BC21R–5L), that connects the storage enclosure
to the DECarray I/O panel, and the 42-inch cable (PN BC21Q–3F) that
connects the storage enclosure to another enclosure.
3.2.1.2 Configuration Verification
Use this section only after you have determined that the problem or fault
is
not
in the adapter modules or tape magazine tape ISEs.
1. Check that the DECarray has been configured according to the
DECarray Installation Guide
:
2. Ensure that all ISEs in the storage enclosures have the correct DSSI
switch settings, and that each ISE on each DSSI bus has a unique
DSSI node ID for that bus.
3. Ensure that the KFMSA adapter(s) in the systems are set correctly.
4. If the DECarray contains magazine tape ISE(s) in single-system or
DSSI VAXcluster configurations, ensure that it has a unique DSSI
node ID. See the magazine tape documentation for instructions on
how to check and change the node DSSI ID.
If the problems persist, record the symptoms and consult Section 3.3.
