backup self-test might take up to an additional 15 minutes to be completed.
During this time, the LEDs on the front and rear of the storage subsystem might
flash intermittently.
6. 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 expansion enclosures. Make sure
that all the LEDs show normal status. For more information about LED
status for expansion enclosures, see “Checking the LEDs” on page 73.
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 127.
c. Open the Subsystem Management window, and display the status of the
storage subsystem.
7. 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 8.
8. Diagnose and correct the fault by completing the following steps:
a. Run the DS 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 127.
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 DS Storage Manager Client
See the
DS Storage Manager 10 Installation and Host Support Guide
for the
applicable operating system for instructions for installing the DS 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 RAID 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 DS 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 RAID controllers (for out-of-band management only)
v
Additional documentation for hosts, HBAs, and expansion 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
