Introduction to the Sun Blade Storage Module M2
Maintaining the Sun Blade Storage Module M2
Under normal circumstances the STATE sensor of the NEM will report that the NEM is “Running.” If the NEM is in standby mode, you might see that one of the SAS paths to storage module resources is missing (two NEMs are required for a dual path connection to disks).
Things to check:
If the NEM has just been inserted, check that it has been returned to service. If not, it will not be in the “Running” state.
Actions to perform:
Return the NEM to service by pressing the Attention button. Refer to your NEM documentation to locate the Attention button.
Return the NEM to service by changing the state of “return_to_service_action” to “true” as follows:
Log into the CMM with administrator privileges.
Enter the command:
-> cd /CH/NEMx
Where x is the slot number of the NEM.
Set the return_to_service state to “true” by entering the command:
-> set return_to_service_action=true
This should return the /CH/NEMx/STATE to “Running”.
To check that the state has returned to “Running”, enter the command:
-> show /CH/NEMx/STATE
Where x is the slot number of the NEM. Output might look like:
/CH/NEM1/STATE Targets: Properties: type = Module ipmi_name = NEM1/STATE class = Discrete Sensor --> value = Running alarm_status = cleared Commands: cd show
