A basic worksheet is included on the poster, but HP recommends creating and keeping more detailed records. Information recorded on the worksheet is used during the initial system setup and configuration, and is helpful for future configuration changes and troubleshooting purposes.
Striping methods There are two methods for configuring the physical layout of the disk arrays: • Vertical striping • Horizontal striping In a vertical configuration, a single RAID array uses one physical drive from each disk enclosure. In a horizontal configuration, the RAID array uses multiple drives contained within one or more disk enclosures.

Calculate the total weight of your equipment and verify that your site can support the weight. For HP ProLiant server environments, consider using Rack Builder, a software tool that provides a simplified method to planning and configuring racks and rack-mountable products. Rack Builder is available on the Options tab of the ProLiant Home page of the HP servers website: http://www.hp.com/country/us/eng/prodserv/servers.html.
The disk enclosure can be installed into most standard server racks. To verify that your rack is supported for use with the disk enclosure, see the QuickSpecs for your disk enclosure model, available on the D2000 website: http://www.hp.com/go/D2000. CAUTION: Install disk drives in the enclosures only after mounting the enclosures in the rack.
Racking procedures Position left and right rack rails at the desired 'U' position in the rack, adjusting the rails to fit the rack, as needed (1). Secure rack rails to the front and back rack columns using screws. Make sure that the shoulders of the screws fit inside the square or round holes of the rack (2).
SAS disk drives and single-ported SATA disk drives. For more information about supported disk drives, see the QuickSpecs for your disk enclosure model, available on the D2000 website: http://www.hp.com/go/D2000. NOTE: SAS and SATA disk drives can be installed in the same disk enclosure.

Continue until all drives are installed. IMPORTANT: For proper airflow and cooling, a drive blank must remain installed in all unused drive bays. Installation...
• Install all operating-system-specific service packs, patch kits, or other required tools. • Install HP system management and monitoring tools, such as HP Systems Insight Manager (HP-SIM) and the Array Configuration Utility (ACU). • Install one or more Smart Array controller in the server that will access the disk enclosure. For in- structions, see the documentation provided with the controller and the server.
Connecting cables and power cords Overview Connecting cables includes the following steps: Reading the Cabling best practices, page 36. Cabling the disk enclosure to the controller, page 37. Cabling cascaded disk enclosures, page 38. Labeling cables using labeling kit, page 38. Connecting power cords, page 39.
To connect the first disk enclosure to the controller, use a standard mini-SAS cable. IMPORTANT: When connecting this disk enclosure to single-path HP Smart Array P212 or P411 6Gb SAS controllers, the second I/O module (I/O module B) in the disk enclosure is not supported for use.
“green” ports to “green” ports (connect I/O module A on one disk enclosure to I/O module A on the additional disk enclosure). The following illustration shows an HP ProLiant DL380 G6 server with an HP Smart Array P411 controller connecting to Small Form Factor (SFF) disk enclosures. Your environment might include a different model server, controller, or disk enclosure, but the cabling principles are the same.
Connecting power cords To protect the system from power-failure-related downtime, each disk enclosure ships standard with a redundant power supply. Depending how you connect the power supplies to the power source, you can eliminate downtime caused by power-related failures. When connecting the power cables, use the power cables shipped with the disk enclosure. After power is supplied to the disk enclosure, the power supply automatically senses the input voltage and the power supply LED illuminates as solid amber.
Powering on the disk enclosure After disk enclosures are physically installed and cabled, power on all devices and verify that they are operating properly. Power on best practices Observe the following best practices before powering up the enclosure for the first time: •...
Verifying the operating status of the devices To verify that the devices are operating properly, view their LEDs. Included sections: • Verify the operating status of the disk enclosures, page 41 • Verify the operating status of the servers and SAS controllers, page 42 Verify the operating status of the disk enclosures To verify that the disk enclosures and disk drives are operating properly, view the enclosure and disk...
If LED patterns are not as expected: • Check cable connections between the devices. • Check the availability of your power source. • Review the installation procedures. • Remove and reinsert the module. Verify the operating status of the servers and SAS controllers Verify that the server is operating properly.
Maintain detailed records of your storage network, including information about the hosts and disk enclosures. A brief worksheet is provided on the getting started instructions poster, shipped with the disk enclosure. However, HP recommends creating your own spreadsheets and maintaining detailed records.
HP Systems Insight Manager HP Systems Insight Manager (SIM) is the foundation for the HP unified server-storage management strategy. SIM is a hardware-level management product that provides basic management features through a single management view. SIM provides device management capabilities that consolidate and integrate management data from HP and third-party devices.
The Array Configuration Utility (ACU) is a server-based, browser-accessed tool used to configure an array controller and its storage. The ACU is supported for use in Windows, Linux, and NetWare environments and can run locally from the server or remotely through HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM).
Not all available Smart Components are included on the Firmware Maintenance CD. Newly-released Smart Components might be scheduled for inclusion on a future release of the CD, and some Smart Components might not be scheduled for inclusion on the CD and be available exclusively via the HP support website for the product.
5 Operation and management Included topics: • Powering on disk enclosures, page 47 • Powering off disk enclosures, page 48 • Updating disk enclosure firmware, page 48 Powering on disk enclosures IMPORTANT: Always power up disk enclosures before controllers and servers. This ensures that the servers, during their discovery, see the enclosure as an operational device.
You can identify currently installed firmware versions through the HP SIM and ACU software utilities. Firmware updates on the controller, disk enclosure and disk drives, are performed using HP Smart Components. For more information, see “Smart Components for firmware...
7 Troubleshooting If the enclosure does not initialize IMPORTANT: After a power failure, the system automatically returns to the last-powered state (On or Off) when A/C power is restored. Ensure that the power on/standby button was pressed firmly and held for approximately three seconds.

Recognizing disk drive failure In an HP enclosure, a steadily glowing fault LED indicates that a disk drive has failed. Other indications of failed disk drives are as follows: • ACU represents failed drives with a distinctive icon. • HP SIM can detect failed drives remotely across a network. (For more information about HP SIM, see the documentation on the Management CD.)
• When RAID6 with ADG is used, two drives can fail simultaneously (and be replaced simultan- eously) without data loss. • If the offline drive is a spare, the degraded drive can be replaced. • Do not remove a second drive from an array until the first failed or missing drive has been replaced and the rebuild process is complete.
situation occurs, restart the server. The system might temporarily become operational long enough to allow recovery of unsaved data. In any case, locate the faulty drive, replace it, and restore data from backup. Handling disk drive failures If the controller was configured with hardware fault tolerance, complete the following steps after a disk drive failure: Determine which physical drive failed.
Verifying component failure • Consult HP technical support to verify that the hardware component has failed and that you are authorized to replace it yourself. • Additional hardware failures can complicate component replacement. Check your management utilities to detect any additional hardware problems: •...
