Note:
If an amber LED is on, there is a problem with a component. Use SANtricity Storage Manager to help resolve the
problem.
6. Depending on the type of hardware upgrade you performed, do one of the following:
•
If you replaced only the HICs, go to
on page 18.
•
If you replaced the controller canisters and you use the Drive Security feature, you must restore the drive security key. Go
to
Restoring the drive security key (if replacing controller canisters)
Restoring the drive security key (if replacing controller canisters)
If you are using the Drive Security feature and you replaced the controller canisters, you must restore the drive security key.
Steps
1. If the storage array includes a mix of secured and unsecured drives, create a new Drive Security key. (From the Storage
Array menu, select Security > Drive Security > Create Key.)
Unsecured drives are unassigned drives, Global Hot Spare (GHS) drives, or drives that are part of a volume group or a disk
pool that is not secured by Drive Security. Secured drives are assigned drives that are a part of a secured volume group or
disk pool using Drive Security.
2. Import the Drive Security key you saved when preparing to remove the controllers. (From the Storage Array menu, select
Security > Drive Security > Import Key.)
If the storage array has only secured drives (no unsecured drives), the controllers automatically reboot to complete the
import operation.
3. Wait for the controllers to boot up.
When a controller finishes booting, its icon appears in the Enterprise Management Window (EMW).
4. If the Drive Security feature is enabled, and the storage array has a mix of secured and unsecured drives, follow these steps:
a. Run the
set allDrives nativeState
SMcli command.
b. Reset all controllers using SANtricity Storage Manager.
c. Wait for all controllers to boot up. When a controller has finished booting, its icon appears in the EMW.
After upgrading the hardware
After upgrading the hardware to change the host protocol, you must perform any additional steps for the new protocol.
Steps
1. Download the appropriate
SANtricity Express Guide for the new host protocol.
2. Follow the instructions in the Express Guide to perform additional steps.
You might need to perform the following steps:
•
Update the host mappings to replace the host ports.
•
Configure the controller's iSCSI settings.
