All

factory-delivered

DS4100

RAID

controllers

are

shipped

with

a

recent

version

of

controller

firmware

loaded

on

the

RAID

controller,

but

that

firmware

version

might

not

match

precisely

the

firmware

version

of

the

failed

RAID

controller

you

have

replaced.

When

you

replace

the

RAID

controller

in

the

DS4100

single-controller

storage

server,

if

the

firmware

version

of

the

replacement

RAID

controller

is

determined

to

be

incompatible

with

the

configuration

database

during

the

boot

process,

the

DS4100

single-controller

storage

server

will

enter

a

Stop

State

and

will

not

allow

any

DS4000

Storage

Manager

operations

to

be

performed.

In

this

case,

you

must

manually

upgrade

or

downgrade

the

replacement

RAID

controller

firmware

to

match

the

version

required

by

the

configuration

database.

Refer

to

the

storage

subsystem

profile

that

you

created

before

replacing

the

RAID

controller,

which

identifies

the

appropriate

firmware

revision.

1.

Use

the

procedure

described

in

“Turning

off

the

storage

server”

on

page

67

to

power

off

the

storage

server.

2.

Label

each

of

the

drives

in

the

storage

server

according

to

its

location

in

the

storage

server

(1

-

14)

so

that

you

can

reinstall

them

correctly.

3.

Remove

each

drive

from

the

storage

server.

4.

Use

the

procedure

described

in

“Turning

on

the

storage

server”

on

page

66

to

power

on

the

storage

server.

5.

Use

the

DS4000

Storage

Manager

Enterprise

Management

Window

(EMW)

to

remove

the

old

RAID

controller

from

the

management

domain.

6.

If

the

configuration

is

to

be

performed

by

DS4000

Storage

Manager

via

an

Ethernet

connection,

the

replacement

controller

needs

to

be

assigned

an

accessible

IP

address.

Factory-delivered

replacement

controllers

will

have

a

factory

default

IP

address

that

might

not

be

accessible

in

customer

Ethernet

environments.

v

If

your

IP

addresses

are

set

by

DHCP,

then

modify

the

DHCP

record

for

the

replacement

RAID

controller

with

the

new

MAC

address.

v

If

you

do

not

specify

the

IP

address

of

the

new

controller

using

DHCP,

and

you

did

not

manually

set

the

old

controller

static

IP

address

using

Storage

Manager,

then

you

can

use

the

default

IP

address

192.168.128.101.

v

If

you

did

set

the

static

IP

address

of

the

old

controller,

first

try

to

make

management

contact

using

the

existing

static

IP

address.

If

the

existing

static

IP

address

does

not

work,

try

the

default

IP

address

192.168.128.101.

For

details

on

how

to

obtain

the

IP

address

for

the

replacement

RAID

controller,

refer

to

the

IBM

TotalStorage

DS4000

Storage

Manager

9.10

Installation

and

Support

Guide

for

the

appropriate

operating

system.

Do

not

utilize

the

serial

port

for

this

purpose

unless

directed

by

your

IBM

support

representative.

7.

Use

the

EMW

to

add

the

new

RAID

controller

to

the

management

domain

using

the

IP

address

assigned

to

the

new

controller.

The

RAID

controller

will

appear

in

the

EMW

as

Storage

Array

Unnamed

and

the

storage

space

is

not

available

(greyed

out).

8.

Use

the

DS4000

Storage

Manager

Subsystem

Management

Window

(SMW)

to

change

the

NVSRAM

of

the

new

RAID

controller

to

match

the

version

number

stored

in

your

storage

subsystem

profile.

(Refer

to

your

printout.)

After

15-20

minutes,

the

SMW

reports

a

download

failure.

Click

OK

to

ignore

the

error

warning

and

instructions

and

proceed

with

the

following

step.

9.

Use

the

EMW

to

remove

the

RAID

controller

from

the

management

domain

and

again

add

the

new

controller

using

the

IP

address

assigned

to

it

by

the

IP

server.
