a. Check all LEDs on each component in the EXP3800 expansion enclosures.
Ensure that all the LEDs show normal status. For more information about
LED status for expansion enclosures, see “Checking the LEDs” on page 61.
b.
Check all LEDs on each component in the DCS3860 storage system. Ensure
that all the LEDs show normal status. For information about LED status, see
“Checking the LEDs” on page 61 or “Solving problems” on page 123.
c. Open the Storage Manager Subsystem Management window, and display
the status of the storage system.
6. If the LEDs indicate normal operation and the Storage Manager GUI status is
'Optimal' on all the configuration components, then you have powered on the
DCS3860.
7.
If the LEDs do not indicate normal operation or the Storage Manager GUI
status is not 'Optimal' on all the configuration components, then diagnose and
correct the fault by completing the following steps:
a. Run the Storage Manager Recovery Guru by clicking Recovery Guru in the
Subsystem Management window toolbar.
b. Complete the recovery procedure.
If the Recovery Guru directs you to replace a failed component, use the
individual LEDs on the storage system to locate the specific failed
component. For troubleshooting procedures, see “Solving problems” on
page 123.
c. When the recovery procedure is completed, select Recheck in the Recovery
Guru. This action runs the Recovery Guru again to make sure that the
problem is corrected.
d.
If the problem remains, contact your IBM technical-support representative.
Installing the IBM DS Storage Manager
For instructions to install the DS Storage Manager software, see the IBM System
Storage DS Storage Manager Version 10.8 Installation and Host Support Guide for the
applicable operating system. The document is in the Documentation folder on the
IBM Support Software DVD. Use this document and the online help to configure the
arrays, logical drives, and host partitions for the controllers. Follow the instructions
in the operating-system documentation to make the new logical drives accessible to
the operating system. Do not proceed with the configuration setup until you have
completed the Storage Manager installation.
Assemble any additional items in preparation for software installation. These items
might include the following items:
v
HBA device drivers
v
Controller firmware
v
IP addresses for controllers (for out-of-band management only)
v Additional documentation for hosts, HBAs, and other storage components
Save the storage system profile before any planned system shutdown or after any
system additions, removals, or modifications (including firmware updates, logical
drive creations, storage partitioning definitions, hardware changes, and so on). For
instructions to save the storage system profile, see the
IBM System Storage DS
Storage Manager Version 10.8 Installation and Host Support Guide for the applicable
operating system. Save the profile in a location other than the logical drives that
are created for the storage system.
