Preparing to Replace the Controllers
1. Make sure that the existing storage array is updated to the latest released controller firmware.
2. If an FDE security key exists on the storage array, save the FDE security key to a location not on the storage
array.
3. Perform the following steps to record the serial number for your storage array:
a. In the EMW tree view, double-click your storage array.
The AMW opens
b. In the
Summary
tab of the
AMW
, click the
View Storage Array Profile
link.
c. Make a record of the value for Chassis Serial Number.
You need this serial number to perform the steps in Powering On the E5600 Storage Array.
4. Gather support data about your storage array by using one of these methods:
Use the storage management software to collect and save a support bundle of your storage array. From the
Array Management Window toolbar, select Monitor > Health > Collect Support Data Manually . Then
name and specify a location on your system where you want to store the support bundle.
Use the command line interface (CLI) to run the
save storageArray supportData
command to gather
comprehensive support data about the storage array. For more information about this command, refer to the
current version of the Command Line Interface and Script Commands Programming Guide .
NOTE
Gathering support data can temporarily impact performance on your storage array.
5. Stop all I/O operations between the storage array and all connected hosts.
