16. Replace the drive magazine:


a. With the magazine ejector handle completely lowered, use the notch at the top of the
chassis housing as a guide to slide the drive magazine into the chassis (Figure 7
(page 12)).
Figure 7 Inserting a Drive Magazine into a Drive Chassis

CAUTION: The drive magazines should slide in-and-out easily. If a magazine does not
insert smoothly, do not force it. Confirm whether the magazine is properly aligned with
the guide notch at the top of the chassis housing and apply moderate pressure toward
the left side of the magazine while inserting. If you have difficulty inserting magazines
into the chassis that also have magazine filler panels installed, it may be necessary to
remove the adjacent filler panel to insert the magazine more easily.
b.
c.

When the drive magazine slides to a stop, quickly lift the ejector handle up to engage
the magazine into the drive chassis midplane.
Secure the magazine to the chassis by tightening the captive screw at the front of the
magazine. Do not overtighten the screw.
NOTE: After inserting the magazine into the chassis, allow approximately one minute
for the disks on the magazine to spin up before checking the magazine LEDs. If any disks
in the drive magazine fail to spin up, reseat the drive magazine and be sure to close the
ejector handle quickly.

17. Place the removed disk or disk magazine in the protective packaging for return to HP.
18. Verify all disk status LEDs on the drive magazine appear steady green and the hot-plug LED
is not illuminated.
19. In the SP window, issue the showpd command and verify that the removed disk is listed as
failed and the replacement disk is listed as new.
NOTE:

The new disk appears at the top of the disk list in the showpd command output.

20. Issue the servicemag resume <cage_id> <mag_id> where <cage_id> is the drive
cage number and <mag_id> is the location of the drive magazine in the drive chassis.

The servicemag resume operation will continue in the background.

The servicemag resume process may take several hours or more to complete, depending on
the number of chunklets to be relocated. Once servicemag status shows chunklets have begun
relocating from spare space, issue the servicemag status command (the -d is optional for
additional detailed information) to monitor the servicemag completion.
21. Issue the servicemag status -d <cage_id> <mag_id> command.

22. For replacement disks:


NOTE: When using the CLI command option -pdid, step 22 is not required and you can
skip to step 23, if applicable.
a.
b.

Issue the dismisspd <PD_ID>command to remove the replaced disk, where <PD_ID>
is the ID of the replaced physical disk.
Issue the showpd <PD_ID> command and verify if the replaced disk is removed.

23. Issue the checkhealth -svc -detail command to verify the system is healthy.
24. In the SP window, issue the exit command and select X to exit from the 3PAR Service Processor
Menu and to log out of the session.
25. Disconnect the serial cable from the maintenance PC or the red cross-over Ethernet cable from
the laptop and coil and replace the cable behind the SP.
26. Close and lock the rear door.

Planning
Preparation prior to completing the physical replacement procedure can take between:

2-12 hours for a disk

20 minutes to 12 hours for a drive magazine

The table below shows examples of the time allotment needed for running the CLI command
servicemag on disks or drive magazines at or near capacity and estimate times for migrating data.
Drive Magazine Size

Estimated Time Required

50GB

1 Hour or less

300GB

6 Hours

500GB or larger

10-12 Hours

Logging Mode
For slower or large disks and when replacing a drive magazine, use the -log option with the CLI
servicemag command.
Conditions for using logging mode:

If only a single disk has failed

If the disk replacement can be completed within 30 minutes

Conditions when logging mode is not recommended and should not be used:

If you have any RAID-0 sets on the drive magazine

If there are multiple failed disks or multiple problems or failures

If there are multiple failures in the same drive cage

Additional CLI commands:

servicemag start -log -pdid <pd_id> . Use the -pdid option in conjunction to
specify the disk to be replaced. This ensures the data vacates from the disk to be replaced.

servicemag start -log -nodisks <cage_id> <mag_id>. Use the -nodisks


option only in conjunction with the-log option when servicing a drive magazine which has
all valid drives and no disks need to be replaced.

Before beginning this procedure, you must migrate data off the drive cage before removing the
midplane and migrate data back after replacing a midplane. See Migrating Data Off the Drive
Cage (page 24).
Replacing a drive cage midplane requires preparations which are determined after reviewing the
customers system layout. Each site must be evaluated for an efficient and safe replacement without
bringing down the entire storage system. Determine if there is free disk space to migrate data from
the drive cage midplane that is being replaced.
If applicable, remove the storage system rear door before beginning this procedure.

Repeat step 6 for all drive magazines in the cage then continue to Replacing a Midplane
Assembly (page 21).
NOTE: Up to five servicemag -start commands may be running at once. Ensure one
is proceeding before starting the next.
When the command completes successfully, Succeeded displays, the hot-plug LED illuminates
and the drive magazine status LEDs blink slowly.
NOTE: Servicemag cannot bypass and set the hot-plug LED on the last drive magazine
because the system does not want to lose communication with the cage. Consequently, the
last ESI drive magazine will not have the hot-plug LED illuminated, but three of the four disks
should be spundown. If this is the case and all other servicemag operations in the cage are
successful, the midplane may be replaced.
NOTE: Allow two minutes for the disks on the magazine to spin up before checking the
magazine LEDs.

Migrating Data Back to the Drive Cage


NOTE: The replacement of a midplane will give the cage a new number because the midplane
serial number is different. Because the old cage number (name) will no longer exist, servicemag
resume must be issued to the new cage number (name).
To migrate data back to the drive cage:
1. In the SP window, issue theshowcage command and note the new cage number to be used
with the servicemag resume command.

Drive Chassis Maintenance Procedures

2 Controller Node Maintenance Procedures


CAUTION: When handling controller node components, observe the precautions in Precautions
(page 87).
NOTE: Guided maintenance scripts are available to facilitate these procedures. Refer to Controller
Node Maintenance Procedures (page 31) for additional information.

Replacing a Controller Node Fan Module


CAUTION: In a controller node, you may remove only one fan at a time. If two fans for one node
are inoperable at the same time, the storage system will shutdown.
The V400 controller node chassis can hold up to eight fan modules, that each hold two fans, and
the V800 can hold up to 16.
CAUTION: Before removing a node fan module, the replacement node fan module should be
ready for installation and removed from its packaging, inspected for any packaging material inside
and placed where it can be quickly and easily accessed to ensure actual service time is less than
the maximum service time (60 seconds or less) and to avoid overheating of other components.
To replace a node fan module:
1. Connect the maintenance PC to the SP using the serial connection and start an spmaint
session.
2. In the 3PAR Service Processor Menu, select option 7 Interactive CLI for an InServ, then select
the desired system.
3. To identify the node fan module that needs to be replaced, issue the shownode -fan
command and note the fan ID and node number to use in the next step.
4. Issue the servicenode start -fan <fanID> <nodeID> command to prepare the
node fan for service.
NOTE: The system will light the service LED blue when there is a failure, but the
servicenode start command confirms the correct component is being serviced.
5.
6.

Identify the fan to remove and verify that the service LED is blue.
Pull the node fan lever outward to disengage the node fan and gently pull the lever and node
fan out of the chassis (Figure 15 (page 31)).

A Precautions
General Precautions
Follow these general precautions when servicing the storage system to avoid injury, data loss and
damage:
CAUTION: Field Replaceable Units (FRUs) should be within 10 C (18 F) of the temperature of
the computer room before power is applied to them in a storage system. This is especially true for
disk drives. The maximum rate of change (gradient) in temperature for the FRU should be 10 C
(18 F) per hour. See Table 16 (page 87) for additional environmental specifications.

percent per hour

CAUTION: Using improper tools can result in damage to the storage system. See the tools list in
Tools (page 89).

Prepare an Electrostatic Discharge-safe (ESD) work surface by placing an antistatic mat on


the floor, or table, near the storage system. Attach the ground lead of the mat to an unpainted
surface of the rack.

Always use a wrist-grounding strap. A wrist-grounding strap is provided with the storage
system. Attach the grounding strap clip directly to an unpainted surface of the rack.

Avoid contact between electronic components and clothing, which can carry an electrostatic
charge.

If applicable, ensure all cables are properly labeled and easily identifiable prior to removing
a component.

Disk and Drive Magazine Precautions


You should always observe caution when handling drive magazines. When carrying a drive
magazine, always support it with both hands. With the solid back panel of the magazine facing
you and with one hand on the handle, support the bottom of the magazine with your other hand.
CAUTION: If you require more than 30 minutes to replace a disk on a drive magazine, install a
drive magazine filler panel over the empty drive magazine slot to prevent overheating while you
are working.
CAUTION: To avoid damage to hardware and the loss of data, never remove a drive magazine
from the storage system without confirming that the hot-plug LED on the drive magazine is lit.
CAUTION: To avoid potential damage to equipment and loss of data, handle disks and drive
magazines carefully.

General Precautions

87

Controller Node Precaution


Slide the node part way out of the chassis and hold the node by the bottom and top to remove
and carry.
CAUTION:
carefully.

To avoid potential damage to equipment and loss of data, handle controller nodes

Clock Battery Precaution


When replacing a controller node clock battery, observe the following precaution:
WARNING! The lithium coin battery may explode if it is incorrectly installed in the controller
node . Replace the coin battery only with a recommended equivalent type.
WARNING!

Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturers instructions.

Drive Chassis and Node Power Supply Precaution


When handling a power supply, observe the following precaution:
CAUTION:

To prevent overheating, this procedure requires a maximum service time of 10 minutes.

Battery Module Precautions


When handling a battery module observe the following precautions:
WARNING!

Do not attempt to disassemble the battery module.

WARNING!

Battery modules are heavy. Use care when replacing them.

CAUTION: Verify the storage system cabinet is completely immobilized before removing battery
modules. For storage systems with HP 3PAR cabinets, confirm that the leveling feet at the bottom
of the cabinet rest firmly on the ground before removing a battery module.
One battery module is connected to each controller node and supplies enough power for the node
to write unwritten data-cache to the node's internal disk during a loss of AC power. Following an
AC loss or the replacement of a battery module, the level of the battery module's charge cannot
be fully determined so the system limits and continuously adjusts the amount of available write-cache.
The battery module is considered fully charged and write-cache is 100% available after 24 hours.

Power Distribution Unit Precautions


When handling a Power Distribution Unit (PDU), observe the following precautions:
WARNING! Do not operate a storage system if any of the main power cords show evidence of
damage or wear. Immediately replace all PDUs that have a damaged or worn power cord.
WARNING! To avoid possible injury, damage to storage system equipment, and potential loss
of data, do not use the surplus power outlets in the storage system PDUs. Never use outlets in the
PDUs to power components that do not belong to the storage system or to power storage system
components that reside in other cabinets.

AC Cord Precaution
When handling an AC cord, observe the following precaution:
WARNING! To avoid serious injury, never touch a damaged power cord before switching off
the PDU and power supply connected to the damaged cord.
