7. Determine the status of all storage subsystems and components in the configuration by completing
the following steps:
a. Check all LEDs on each component in the storage enclosures. Make sure that all the LEDs show
normal status. For more information about LED status for storage enclosures, see “Checking the
LEDs” on page 4-7.
b. Check all LEDs on each component in the storage subsystem. Make sure that all the LEDs show
normal status. For information about LED status, see Chapter 6, “Solving problems,” on page 6-1.
c. Open the Subsystem Management window, and display the status of the storage subsystem.
8. Are the LEDs indicating normal operation, and is the status Optimal on all the configuration
components?
v Yes: The procedure is complete.
v
No: Go to step 9.
9. 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 subsystem to locate the specific failed component. For troubleshooting procedures, see
Chapter 6, “Solving problems,” on page 6-1.
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 Storage Manager Client
See the DS Storage Manager 10 Installation and Host Support Guide for the applicable operating system for
instructions for installing the Storage Manager software. The document is in the Documentation folder on
the IBM
System Storage DS3500 Support DVD. Use that document and the online help to configure the
logical drives, partitions, and so on 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 storage enclosures
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), save the storage subsystem profile as explained in the
DS Storage Manager 10 Installation and
Host Support Guide for the operating system. Save the profile in a location other than the logical drives
that are created for the storage subsystem.
Always see the readme file that is included with the DS3500 Storage Subsystem firmware package
(whether the firmware is accessed by the Web or a CD) for any special requirements or restrictions that
apply to that firmware version.
