a. Turn on the power to the supporting devices (for example, Ethernet

switches and management stations) before you turn off power to the
storage subsystem.

b. You must turn on the storage expansion enclosures before the storage

subsystem. The controllers might not recognize the correct configuration if
the E-DDMs are powered up after the storage subsystem. For instructions
on powering up the storage subsystem, see the storage subsystem
documentation.

c. Turn on the power to the storage subsystem; then restart or turn on the

power to the host.

9. Turn on the power to each device, based on the power-on sequence in step 8

on page 133. To turn on power to the storage subsystem and the storage
expansion enclosures, turn on the power supply and fan unit switches on the
back of the storage subsystem. You must turn on both power supply and fan
unit switches to take advantage of the redundant power supplies.

10. Check the green Drive activity LEDs and the amber Drive fault LEDs above

the new E-DDM CRUs.

Make sure that the Drive activity LEDs are on and the Drive fault LEDs are off.

Note: The Drive fault LEDs might flash intermittently while the E-DDMs spin

up.

v

If the Drive activity LED is off, the E-DDM CRU might not be installed
correctly. Remove the E-DDM CRU, wait 30 seconds, and then reinstall it.

v

If the Drive fault LED stays on or the Drive activity LED stays off, the new
E-DDM might be faulty. See the DS Storage Manager software for problem
determination.

11. Use the DS Storage Manager software to configure the new E-DDMs. See the

DS Storage Manager software online Help for detailed instructions.

12. Restore the data from backup to all the E-DDMs.

Replacing the E-DDMs one at a time

Use this procedure to replace all the E-DDMs one at a time. You cannot use this
procedure on RAID 0 logical drives (use the procedure in “Replacing all E-DDMs at
the same time” on page 132).

Note: If your storage subsystem has hot spares assigned, you might want to

unassign the hot spares while you perform this procedure. If you do not,
reconstruction might start on the hot spare before you insert the new
E-DDM. The data on the new E-DDM is still rebuilt, but the process takes
longer for each E-DDM. Remember to reassign the hot spares when you are
finished with this procedure.

Attention:

After you remove an E-DDM CRU, wait 70 seconds before replacing or

reseating the E-DDM CRU to allow it to properly spin down. Failure to do so might
cause undesired events.

To replace the E-DDMs one at a time, perform the following steps:

1. Read the following information:

v

“Replacing multiple E-DDMs” on page 131, particularly the paragraphs that
discuss the differences between the two possible upgrade procedures

v

Your software documentation regarding E-DDM upgrades and installation

v

The documentation that comes with the new E-DDMs
