Adding a Disk Module

To add a disk to a storage system, you must use the Disk Installation wizardas described in this guide. This wizard determines if you can add disks toyour storage system, and if you can, it allows you to select where to installthem and monitors the installation process.

The Disk Installation wizard is part of the Unisphere Service Manager(USM), which replaces the Navisphere Service Taskbar (NST). The USM isavailable from the Powerlink website (http://Powerlink.EMC.com) on theCLARiiON Tools page for the storage-system type.

If you are not running the latest version of USM, we recommend you download and

install the latest version as described in this document.

Before you startThe Unisphere Service Manager (USM) must run on a Windows hostthat is:

Running a supported operating system version. For supportedversions, refer to the EMC Unisphere Service Manager Release Notes.

Connected to the Internet and able to communicate with the

management ports on your storage system.

Running Java Runtime Environment (JRE). For supported versions,refer to the EMC Unisphere Service Manager Release Notes. If you donot install the correct version prior to downloading USM, the USMsetup wizard gives you the option of installing it for you.

Handling field replaceable units (FRUs)This section describes the precautions that you must take and thegeneral procedures you must follow when removing, installing, andstoring any field replaceable unit (FRU).

Power issues and FRUs

Your storage system is designed to be powered on continuously. Mostcomponents are hot swappable; that is, you can replace or install thesecomponents while the storage system is running. Front bezels shouldalways be attached and each compartment should contain a FRU orfiller panel to ensure EMI compliance and proper air flow over theFRUs.

You should not remove a faulty FRU until you have a replacement

available.When you replace or install FRUs, you can inadvertently damagethe sensitive electronic circuits in the equipment by simply touchingthem. Electrostatic charge (ESD) that has accumulated on your bodydischarges through the circuits. If the air in the work area is very dry,running a humidifier in the work area will help decrease the risk ofESD damage. Follow the procedures below to prevent damage to theequipment.

Read and understand the following instructions:

Provide enough room to work on the equipment. Clear the worksite of any unnecessary materials or materials that naturally buildup electrostatic charge, such as foam packaging, foam cups,cellophane wrappers, and similar items.

Do not remove replacement or upgrade FRUs from their antistatic

packaging until you are ready to install them. Before you service a storage system, gather together the ESD kit

and all other materials you will need. Once servicing begins, avoidmoving away from the work site; otherwise, you may build up anelectrostatic charge.

An ESD wristband is supplied with your storage system. To use it,attach the clip of the ESD wristband (strap) to any bare (unpainted)metal on the storage system; then put the wristband around yourwrist with the metal button against your skin.

Use the ESD kit when handling any FRU. If an emergency arises

and the ESD kit is not available, follow the procedures in theEmergency procedures (without an ESD kit) section.

Emergency procedures (without an ESD kit)

In an emergency when an ESD kit is not available, use the followingprocedures to reduce the possibility of an electrostatic dischargeby ensuring that your body and the subassembly are at the same

electrostatic potential.

These procedures are not a substitute for the use of an ESD kit. Followthem only in the event of an emergency.

Before touching any FRU, touch a bare (unpainted) metal surface ofthe cabinet or storage system.

Before removing any FRU from its antistatic bag, place one hand

firmly on a bare metal surface of the storage system, and at thesame time, pick up the FRU while it is still sealed in the antistaticbag. Once you have done this, do not move around the room ortouch other furnishings, personnel, or surfaces until you haveinstalled the FRU.

When you remove a FRU from the antistatic bag, avoid touchingany electronic components and circuits on it.

If you must move around the room or touch other surfaces beforeinstalling a FRU, first place the FRU back in the antistatic bag. Whenyou are ready again to install the FRU, repeat these procedures.

Downloading and installing the Unisphere Service Manager

The Unisphere Service Manager (USM) replaces the Navisphere Service Taskbar

(NST). If you are not running the latest version of USM, we recommend you

download and install the latest version as described below.

1. From the Powerlink website, select Support > Product andDiagnostic Tools > CLARiiON Tools > About Unisphere ServiceManager

2. On the About Unisphere Service Manager page, select theUnisphere Service Manager link and select the option to save thesoftware to your host or management station.

3. In the folder where you saved the USM, double-click the executable

(.exe) file, and if necessary, click Run to start the installation wizard.4. Follow the instructions that appear.

After you accept the license agreement, the wizard verifies thatthe server is running the supported Java Runtime Environment(JRE) version.

If the server is running an earlier version of the JRE, select Yes

when asked if you want to continue with the installation.

The installation wizard prompts you to download and installthe later version of the JRE from the Sun website.

If the server is running a later version of the JRE, the installationwizard asks if you want to continue with the installation.

Select Yes to continue or No to quit the installation.

Important: If you select Yes, the USM may not work properly with

a later JRE version. If you select No, and manually remove the later

version of the JRE, other applications that require this version may

not work properly.

5. When the installation is complete, click Done.

Verifying the operation of the new disk or DAE with NavisphereManager

1. In a browser window, start Navisphere Manager for the storagesystem by entering the IP address of one SP in the storage system.

2. In the Navisphere Manager Storage tree, locate the icon for thestorage system in which you installed the new disk or new DAE,

expand the storage-system icon, and select the Physical icon.3. Expand the enclosure in which you installed the new disk or

expand the new DAE.

4. Verify that the new disk or new DAE and the disks that the newDAE contains appear and are not faulted.

If you added a new 2 Gb disk or a new 2Gb DAE to a CX4 series

storage system and the new disk or disks in the new DAE do appear,then repeat step 1 with the IP address of the other SP in the storagesystem, and then repeat steps 2 through 4. If the new disk or disksin the new DAE appear, then the new disk or the disks in the newDAE are available for use. If the new disk or disks in the new DAEdo not appear in either case:

a. From a browser, open the setup page for one SP:

http://sp_ip_address/setup

where sp_ip_address is the IP address of the SP.

b. Scroll down to the Refresh Management Server State option,and click Refresh Management Server State.

c. In the confirmation page, select Yes and Submit.d. Repeat steps a through c for the other SP.

e. After refreshing the management server state for both SPs,verify that the new disk or disks in the new DAE appear in theNavisphere Manager physical tree when you start NavisphereManager for one SP, and then the other SP.

When the SPs appear in both cases, they are available for use.
