Maintaining a StorEdge T3/T3+ Array

This section contains the procedures for maintaining a StorEdge T3 or StorEdge T3+ array. The following table lists these procedures. This section does not include a procedure for adding a disk drive and a procedure for removing a disk drive because a StorEdge T3/T3+ array only operates when fully configured.

Caution - Caution -

If you remove any field-replaceable unit (FRU) for an extended period of time, thermal complications might result. To prevent this complication, the StorEdge T3/T3+ array is designed so an orderly shutdown occurs when you remove a component for longer than 30 minutes. A replacement part must be immediately available before starting a FRU replacement procedure. You must replace a FRU within 30 minutes or the StorEdge T3/T3+ array, and all attached StorEdge T3/T3+ arrays, will shut down and power off.

How to Upgrade StorEdge T3/T3+ Array Firmware

Use this procedure to upgrade StorEdge T3/T3+ array firmware in a running cluster. StorEdge T3/T3+ array firmware includes controller firmware, unit interconnect card (UIC) firmware, and disk drive firmware.

Caution - Caution -

Perform this procedure on one StorEdge T3/T3+ array at a time. This procedure requires that you reset the StorEdge T3/T3+ array you are upgrading. If you reset more than one StorEdge T3/T3+ array, your cluster will lose access to data if the StorEdge T3/T3+ arrays are submirrors of each other.

  1. On one node attached to the StorEdge T3/T3+ array you are upgrading, detach that StorEdge T3/T3+ array's submirrors.

    For more information, see your Solstice DiskSuite or VERITAS Volume Manager documentation.

  2. Apply the controller, disk drive, and UIC firmware patches.

    See the Sun Cluster 3.0 12/01 Release Notes for information about accessing Sun's EarlyNotifier web pages, which list information about any required patches or firmware levels that are available for download. For the procedure on applying any host adapter firmware patch, see the firmware patch README file.

  3. Reset the StorEdge T3/T3+ array, if you have not already done so.

    For the procedure on rebooting a StorEdge T3/T3+ array, see the Sun StorEdge T3 and T3+ Array Installation, Operation, and Service Manual.

  4. Reattach the submirrors to resynchronize them.

    For more information, see your Solstice DiskSuite or VERITAS Volume Manager documentation.

How to Replace a Disk Drive

Use this procedure to replace one failed disk drive in a StorEdge T3/T3+ array in a running cluster.

Caution - Caution -

If you remove any field replaceable unit (FRU) for an extended period of time, thermal complications might result. To prevent this complication, the StorEdge T3/T3+ array is designed so an orderly shutdown occurs when you remove a component for longer than 30 minutes. A replacement part must be immediately available before starting a FRU replacement procedure. You must replace a FRU within 30 minutes or the StorEdge T3/T3+ array, and all attached StorEdge T3/T3+ arrays, will shut down and power off.

  1. If the failed disk drive impacted the logical volume's availability, remove the logical volume from volume management control. Otherwise, proceed to Step 2.

    For more information, see your Solstice DiskSuite or VERITAS Volume Manager documentation.

  2. Replace the disk drive.

    For the procedure on replacing a disk drive, see the Sun StorEdge T3 and T3+ Array Installation, Operation, and Service Manual.

  3. If you removed a LUN from volume management control in Step 1, return the LUN(s) to volume management control. Otherwise, Step 2 completes this procedure.

    For more information, see your Solstice DiskSuite or VERITAS Volume Manager documentation.

How to Add a StorEdge T3/T3+ Array

Use this procedure to add a new StorEdge T3/T3+ array to a running cluster.

This procedure defines Node A as the node you begin working with, and Node B as the remaining node.

  1. Set up a Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP) server on the network the new StorEdge T3/T3+ array is to reside on, and then assign an IP address to the new StorEdge T3/T3+ array.

    This RARP server enables you to assign an IP address to the new StorEdge T3/T3+ array by using the StorEdge T3/T3+ array's unique MAC address.

    For the procedure on setting up a RARP server, see the Sun StorEdge T3 and T3+ Array Installation, Operation, and Service Manual.

  2. (Skip this step if you are adding a StorEdge T3+ array) Install the media interface adapter (MIA) in the StorEdge T3 array you are adding as shown in Figure 8-2.

    For the procedure on installing a media interface adapter (MIA), see the Sun StorEdge T3 and T3+ Array Configuration Guide.

  3. If necessary, install gigabit interface converters (GBICs) in the Sun StorEdge FC-100 hub as shown in Figure 8-2.

    The GBICs enables you to connect the Sun StorEdge FC-100 hubs to the StorEdge T3/T3+ arrays you are adding.

    For the procedure on installing an FC-100 hub GBIC, see the FC-100 Hub Installation and Service Manual.

    # scstat

  2. Move all resource groups and device groups off Node A.


    # scswitch -S -h nodename

  3. Shut down Node A.


    # shutdown -y -g0 -i0

  4. Power off Node A.

    For more information, see the Sun Cluster 3.0 12/01 System Administration Guide.

  5. Replace the failed host adapter.

    For the procedure on removing and adding host adapters, see the documentation that shipped with your nodes.

  6. Power on Node A.

    For more information, see the Sun Cluster 3.0 12/01 System Administration Guide.

  7. Boot Node A into cluster mode.


    {0} ok boot

    For more information, see the Sun Cluster 3.0 12/01 System Administration Guide.

  8. If necessary, upgrade the host adapter firmware on Node A.

    See the Sun Cluster 3.0 12/01 Release Notes for information about accessing Sun's EarlyNotifier web pages, which list information about any required patches or firmware levels that are available for download. For the procedure on applying any host adapter firmware patch, see the firmware patch README file.

  9. Return the resource groups and device groups you identified in Step 1 to Node A and Node B.


    # scswitch -z -g resource-group -h nodename
# scswitch -z -D device-group-name -h nodename
