Chapter 12 Administering and maintaining the K2 SAN
If you add Expansion chassis, you need to decide their cabling pattern before
changing the controllers. With the Level 30/35 controller you have the DP1 port
available, and Expansion chassis should be balanced between DP0 and DP1. If you
can accomplish this by connecting the added Expansion chassis to DP1, no special
preparations are required before changing the controllers.
If you decide you need to change the RAID topology and alter the cabling of existing
Expansion chassis, you must unbind all existing RAID disks before shutting down the
system. Failure to do so results in a configuration mismatch and controller faults.
NOTE: Refer to the Instruction Manual for your RAID storage chassis for
procedures on removing and replacing the RAID controller module.
To upgrade controllers, do the following:
1. Power down the entire K2 SAN, including all RAID devices.
2. Remove cabling to controllers.
3. Remove the Level 10/20 controller or controllers.
4. Insert the Level 30/35 controller or controllers.
5. Re-cable controller or controllers. If you do not plan to rebind RAID disks, you
must connect existing Expansion chassis just as they were before.
6. Connect added Expansion chassis, if any.
7. Power up the K2 SAN.
8. Download RAID controller microcode, as instructed in
and expansion chassis microcode” on page 458
. Refer to K2 Release Notes for
microcode version.
9. Proceed as follows:
• If you did not add Expansion chassis or otherwise change the topology, the
upgrade procedure is complete.
• If you added or re-cabled Expansion chassis, depending on the changes you are
making, do one or more of the following:
- Bind disks
- Make a new file system
- Expand the file system
Configuring Level 10/20/30/35 RAID chassis network and SNMP
settings
Through Storage Utility you can configure the following settings on a RAID chassis:
• IP address
• Subnet mask
• Gateway Address
• SNMP trap destinations
