In order for the Storage Nodes to see them, the peripheral devices must be
powered up and online before you power on the Storage Nodes.
6. Verify that all Cat-5 and fibre connections have a green link light.
7. Verify that every RSA card has power applied. A green LED on the card
faceplate will light up when power is applied to the card. Connect your laptop
to the Cisco 10/100 switch and configure it to use IP address 172.22.30.20 with
a net mask of 255.255.0.0. Sign in to each RSA card using the web browser and
verify that each is present. Ping each communication device (Cisco switches,
In-Reach port server, power management module, and KVM switch).
If the system appears to be functionally sound, IBM will turn control over to the
party installing the software.
Lights out or brown out
The following sequence should occur in a lights out scenario.
1. The system is up and running typical applications.
2. A lights out/brown out event occurs. The system powers down then powers
up via an external source.
3. All nodes power back up to the last known state (on/off). If the last known
state is on, then the nodes will boot to a login prompt.
4. Log files will show system restart events on nodes and on RSA cards. Check
the following log files.
