EF- and RZ-Series Integrated Storage

1.1 General

Figure 1–1 shows the EF-series integrated storage elements (ISE). Figure 1–2 shows the RZ-series ISEs in the 3.5-inch conﬁguration. Note that the logic module is located on the right side for the RZ-series.

The two conﬁgurations vary as follows:

• EF-series ISEs are solid state disks.

• 3.5-inch RZ-series ISEs contain either one or two hard disk storage devices. BA400-series ISEs contain hardware and a circuit module to allow the ISE to

be plugged into the enclosure backplane.

VAX 4000 systems do not support RZ-series ISEs unless an HSD05 or HSD10 option is installed.

The term "Integrated Storage Element" (ISE) is used for any Digital Storage Systems Interconnect (DSSI) or Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) storage device. An ISE contains an on-board intelligent controller in addition to the drive and the control electronics.

The DSSI interface supports up to seven ISEs. DSSI interfaces can be embedded within a CPU module, such as the KA670 module. The DSSI interface can also be separate modules, such as the KFQSA, which is interfaced by a single cable to a DSSI connector in the host enclosure.

EF-series ISEs are DSSI-based solid state disk drives based on the Digital Storage Architecture (DSA).

RZ-series ISEs utilize the SCSI bus and interface. SCSI interfaces can be embedded within a CPU module, such as the KN220 module. The SCSI interface can also be separate modules, such as the HSD05 or HSD10, which are connected by a single cable to the system backplane in the host enclosure.

Note

Within a system enclosure it is possible to have up to seven disk storage devices, provided there is no tape drive in the enclosure. There can be three 3.5-inch dual storage devices and one 5.25-inch or one

3.5-inch single storage device.

For more detailed information about conﬁguring EF- and RZ-series ISEs in a BA400-series enclosure, refer to the appropriate enclosure maintenance manual listed in Appendix A.

1.2 EF- and RZ-Series ISE Installation Preparation

EF- and RZ-series ISEs require that bus node ID jumpers be set on the drive before the ISE can be installed in a BA400-series enclosure.

When installing an EF- or RZ-series ISE, refer to the reference booklet or data sheet that is shipped with the ISE to set the proper bus node ID (DSSI/SCSI ID) jumpers. Also ensure that the TERM PWR and the TERM ENABLE jumpers are removed. Failure to remove the TERM ENABLE jumper will cause improper operation of the ISE.

Note

Some of the ISEs have two sets of jumpers for setting the bus node ID. Refer to the reference booklet or data sheet that is shipped with the ISE to set the proper bus node ID on one set of jumpers only. Ensure that all of the jumpers are removed from the second set of device address (Node ID) jumper pins.

In VAX 4000 systems, the SCSI termination and TERM PWR are provided by the controller module on one end of the bus and termination for the other end of the bus is provided by an external terminator.

Note

Refer to Section 1.4.4 for bus node ID conﬁguration guidelines.

1.4 Upgrading the ISE Storage Devices

The system’s storage capacity can be increased by:

• Replacing an ISE with one that has a larger storage capacity

• Installing a second storage device on a 3.5-inch ISE

The following sections describe how to upgrade the ISE storage devices.

1.4.1 Removing ISEs

To upgrade a system, it may be necessary to remove an ISE. To remove an ISE, use the following procedures.

CAUTION

Static electricity can damage integrated circuits. Always use the antistatic wrist strap and antistatic pad found in the static-protective ﬁeld service kit (29-26246-00) when working with the internal parts of a computer system.

Handle ISEs with care. Dropping or bumping the ISE can damage the disk surface. Carry or hold the ISE by the underside of the lower metal bracket to avoid damage to the drive module.

1. After the system manager shuts down the operating system, set the lock to the bottom position to open both the top and bottom enclosure doors (Figure 1–9).

1.4.4 Bus Node ID Conﬁguration Guidelines

The EF- and RZ-series ISEs require setting jumpers on the storage device for the bus node ID.

Use the following rules for assigning ID numbers to the EF- and RZ-series ISEs:

EF- and RZ-Series Integrated Storage Elements 1–23

MLO-007244A

Page 32

• For each DSSI bus or SCSI bus, do not duplicate bus node numbers for storage elements. You can have only one storage element on bus 0 identiﬁed as node 0, one storage element as node 1, and so on.

• By convention, the ISEs are numbered in increasing order from right to left, starting with 0.

1.5 Power-On Self-Test (POST)

Once the system is turned on, the EF-series and RZ-series ISEs go through a power-on self-test (POST).

1.5.1 EF-Series POST

POST for an EF-series ISE is executed whenever power is applied. The execution time for the test can be up to 15 seconds.

On the EF-series, POST performs the following:

• Tests the control module.

• Tests the memory modules.

• Checks the conﬁguration of the hard disk.

POST detects the following types of error conditions:

• Controller errors—Caused by the hardware associated with the controller function of the drive module. These errors are fatal to the operation of the ISE since the controller cannot establish a logical connection to the host.

• Device errors—Caused by the hardware associated with the device control function of the drive module. These errors are not fatal since the ISE can establish a logical connection and report the error to the host.

If the ISE passes POST, continue to Section 1.6.

1.5.2 RZ-Series POST

POST for an RZ-series ISE is executed during power-up or from a host-initiated command. The execution time for the test should be less than two seconds. If the unit passes POST, it waits for a software command such as SHOW DEVICES. If POST fails, the device will not come on line and will not be listed in the device listing when the SHOW DEVICES command is issued.

Page 33

1.6 Setting the DSSI ISE Parameters

Once installed and powered up, the DSSI ISE parameters must be set. This is done through the use of the local program PARAMS. The following procedures should be used when performing an ISE installation. If further information on the use of PARAMS is desired, refer to the appropriate integrated storage element user’s guide (see Appendix A) for a complete description of the PARAMS utility.

1.6.1 Accessing PARAMS

PARAMS can be accessed in one of three ways, depending on the system you are using.

• Through OpenVMS, using the SET HOST command

• From the console, using the SET HOST command

• Through MDM, using the Device Resident Programs menu

1.6.1.1 Using OpenVMS

To access PARAMS on a system running OpenVMS Version 5.3 or higher, the command is:

$ SET HOST/DUP/SERVER=MSCP$DUP/TASK=PARAMS nodename

where "nodename" is the node name of the ISE.

NOTE

To ﬁnd the node name, enter SHOW DEVICES or SHOW CLUSTER at the $ prompt.

To produce a ﬁle in your directory of what appears on the screen, append the qualiﬁer/log=ﬁlename.ext (where ﬁlename.ext is what you want to name the ﬁle) to the above command.

Once you are in PARAMS, control is turned over to the utility. All interaction is through the use of commands and responses.

To exit PARAMS, enter EXIT at the PARAMS> prompt, or press one of the following key combinations:

CTRL/C,CTRL/Y

EF- and RZ-Series Integrated Storage Elements 1–25

,or

CTRL/Z

Page 34

1.6.1.2 Using Console Commands

From console mode you can access the Diagnostic and Utility Program (DUP) to examine and set parameters. The command syntax depends upon whether your system uses an embedded adapter such as the KA670 module, or a Q–bus adapter (the KFQSA module).

Embedded Adapters

To access PARAMS from a system with an embedded adapter, enter:

>>> SET HOST/DUP/DSSI/BUS:<BUS_NUMBER> <NODE_NUMBER> PARAMS

where <BUS_NUMBER> is the DSSI bus number (0 or 1) and <NODE_NUMBER> is

the bus node ID (0–7) for the device on the bus.

To ﬁnd the DSSI bus number and node number, enter SHOW DSSI at the console ( >>> ) prompt.

KFQSA Storage Adapter

To access PARAMS from a system with a Q–bus adapter, enter:

>>> SET HOST/DUP/UQSSP/DISK <controller_number> PARAMS

NOTE

where <controller_number> is the controller number (provided by the SHOW UQSSP

display) for the device on the bus. After you have completed setting and examining DSSI device parameters, enter

the WRITE command at the PARAMS> prompt to save the device parameters you have changed using the SET command. The changes are recorded to nonvolatile memory.

If you have changed the allocation class or node name of a device, the DUP driver utility will ask you to initialize the controller. Answer Yes (Y) to allow the changes to be recorded and to exit the DUP driver utility.

If you have not changed the allocation class or node name, enter the EXIT command at the PARAMS> prompt to exit the DUP driver utility for the speciﬁed device.

1–26 EF- and RZ-Series Integrated Storage Elements

1.6.1.3 Using MDM

If neither OpenVMS nor console commands are available on your system, you can access PARAMS through MDM using the following procedure:

1. Boot MDM.

2. Enter the date and time.

3. Select the menus in the following order:

• Service menu

• Device menu

• KFQSAA-KFQSA subsystem menu

• Device Utilities menu

• Device Resident Programs menu When you select the Device Resident Programs menu, the following is

1.6.2 Setting the ISE Allocation Class

All DSSI ISEs are shipped with the allocation class set to 0. To determine what the allocation class should be set to, access a different ISE on the system and set the one you are installing to the same allocation class.

In multihost systems, you must assign the same allocation class to all host systems and all connected ISEs. This allocation class must be different from that of other systems or other hierarchical storage controllers (HSCs) in a cluster.

Use the following procedure to set the allocation class:

1. Determine what the allocation class should be set to by reading it from another ISE that is already working on the system. Use one of the procedures outlined in Section 1.6.1 to access PARAMS on the ISE from which you want to read this information.

2. At the PARAMS> prompt, enter SHOW ALLCLASS. The system displays the following:

Parameter Current Default Type Radix

--------- ----------- ----------- ------ ------ALLCLASS 1 0 Byte Dec B

PARAMS>

3. Make a note of the allocation class. In the example above, the allocation class has been set to 1. Exit PARAMS and return to the root prompt (OpenVMS, console, or MDM).

4. Access PARAMS on the newly installed ISE, using one of the procedures outlined in Section 1.6.1.

1–28 EF- and RZ-Series Integrated Storage Elements

Page 37

5. Enter SHOW ALLCLASS. The system responds with:

Parameter Current Default Type Radix

--------- ----------- ----------- ------ ------ALLCLASS 0 0 Byte Dec B

PARAMS>

6. Enter SET ALLCLASS 1 (for our example). You want to set the ISE to the

same allocation class as all the other ISEs on the DSSI bus.

7. Enter SHOW ALLCLASS to check the new allocation class.

The system responds with:

Parameter Current Default Type Radix

--------- ----------- ----------- ------ ------ALLCLASS 1 0 Byte Dec B

PARAMS>

8. Enter WRITE. The system responds with:

Changes require controller initialization, ok? [Y/ (N)]

9. Enter Y to save the new allocation class value.

1.6.3 Setting the MSCP Unit Number

The ISE is set at the factory to read the DSSI node ID as the MSCP unit number. Unit numbers for all DSSI devices connected to a system’s associated DSSI buses must be unique. When more than one bus is being used, and your system is using a nonzero allocation class, you need to assign new unit numbers for devices on all but one of the DSSI buses.

When assigning a different unit number, you must also set the FORCEUNI parameter to 0. This allows the unit number you have set to be used. The factory setting for FORCEUNI is 1, forcing the DSSI node ID to be used as the MSCP unit number.

The following example shows how to change the MSCP unit number:

PARAMS> sh unitnum Parameter Current Default Type Radix

--------- ------------ ------------- --------- -----

UNITNUM 5 0 Word Dec U PARAMS> set unitnum 21 PARAMS> sh unitnum

Parameter Current Default Type Radix

--------- ------------ ------------- --------- -----

UNITNUM 21 0 Word Dec U PARAMS> sh forceuni

Parameter Current Default Type Radix

--------- ------------ ------------- --------- -----

FORCEUNI 1 1 Boolean 0/1 U PARAMS> set forceuni 0 PARAMS> sh forceuni

Parameter Current Default Type Radix

--------- ------------ ------------- --------- -----

FORCEUNI 0 1 Boolean 0/1 U PARAMS> write

1–30 EF- and RZ-Series Integrated Storage Elements

Page 39

1.6.4 Setting the ISE Node Name

Setting the ISE node name is an optional step. All DSSI ISEs come with a computer-generated node name. The user may wish to set this node name to a more recognizable character string.

The following example changes the node name from the default (R1EJAA) to the new string "SUSAN." When entering ASCII strings, you may use single quotes, double quotes, or no quotes at all.

PARAMS> show node Parameter Current Default Type Radix

--------- ------------- ------------ ------- ----NODENAME R1EJAA RF31 String ASCII B

PARAMS> set node "susan" PARAMS> show node Parameter Current Default Type Radix

--------- ------------- ------------ ------- ----NODENAME SUSAN RF31 String ASCII B

PARAMS> write

Using the WRITE command will make any changes permanent.

NOTE

1.7 Testing the ISE

Running DRVTST may erase all user data on the ISE, and should only be used when installing a new ISE.

Once the ISE parameters are set, test the drive by using DRVTST, the local program. DRVTST is accessed in the same way as PARAMS, using one of the procedures outlined in Section 1.6.1. In this case, instead of specifying PARAMS, specify DRVTST.

DRVTST is a comprehensive hardware test. Once invoked, it will prompt you to specify whether the test should be a read/write test or a read-only test. After you specify the type of test, it will run for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, DRVTST will indicate either that the test passed, or that a failure occurred.

CAUTION

EF- and RZ-Series Integrated Storage Elements 1–31

Page 40

Once the ISE has passed DRVTST, the installation is complete. If further information on the use of DRVTST is desired, refer to the appropriate integrated storage element user’s guide (see Appendix A) for a complete description of the DRVTST local program.

1.7.1 DRVTST Example

The following example shows how to run DRVTST. In this example, DRVTST is accessed through OpenVMS on an ISE with a node name R1EJAA.

$ SET HOST/DUP/SERVER=MSCP$DUP/TASK=DRVTST R1EJAA

The program displays the following:

You must respond to the query for the program to continue. By answering yes (1), you select a read-write test, and DRVTST prompts you with another query.

In this case, type 1

Return

, selecting a read-write test. DRVTST then displays

the following:

User data will be corrupted. Proceed? [1=Yes/(0=No)]

This query gives you the chance to reconsider. If you answer no (0), then your response to the ﬁrst query is overridden, and a read-only test is executed. If you answer yes (1), DRVTST begins executing a read-write test of the ISE.

In this case, type 1

Return

. During the test, the program displays the following

message:

5 minutes to complete.

NOTE

You may abort the test at any time by pressing one of the following key combinations:

CTRL/C,CTRL/Y

informational message

Operation aborted by user

,or

CTRL/Z

. If you abort the test, the

will be displayed.

If DRVTST is executed successfully, the following message is displayed:

Test passed.

Page 41

1.7.2 Error Messages

If an error condition is found during the execution of DRVTST, an error message is displayed. Two types of errors are reported: soft errors, which are corrected during the operation of the ISE, and fatal errors, which prevent the ISE from functioning.

The following table indicates the error messages you may see and what they mean.

Table 1–1 DVTST Error Messages

Message Description

Soft read error on head xx track yyyy. Soft write error on head xx track yyyy. Soft compare error on head xx track yyyy.

xxxx - Unit diagnostics failed. This is a fatal error. xxxx is the MSCP

xxxx - Unit read/write test failed. This is a fatal error. xxxx is the MSCP

These are soft error messages which indicate that an operation succeeded, but that the error recovery ﬁrmware was invoked. These messages may indicate a forced-error ﬂag or correctable ECC error, or that the read/write head was temporarily off-track. These are corrected during normal operation.

error code.

Make note of any soft error messages that are displayed for possible future reference. If you encounter a fatal error, do not complete the installation.

This chapter describes how to install the TLZ-series tape drive. For more detailed information about installing add-on storage devices into a BA400series enclosure, refer to the appropriate enclosure maintenance guide (see Appendix A).

2.2 TLZ07 Tape Drive

The TLZ07 is a 5.25-inch half-height cassette tape drive that provides high capacity, off-line data storage. The TLZ07 interfaces to the system by means of a Small Computer System Interface (SCSI). The following table lists the storage capacity for each type of 4 mm data cassette.

Tape Type With No Compression With Compression

TLZ04-CA (60 m) TLZ06-CA (90 m) TLZ07-CA (120 m) 4.0 GB 8.0 GB

TLZ-Series Tape Drives

1.3 GB 2.6 GB

2.0 GB 4.0 GB

The TLZ07 is compatible with TLZ04 (60 m) cassette tapes in the noncompressed mode only.

The TLZ07 is compatible with the TLZ06 using 60 m and 90 m tapes only.

The compression measurements are typical for a 2-to-1 data compression ratio, but the actual

ratio is dependent on the data.

Note

VAX 4000 systems do not support embedded TLZ07 tape drives unless an HSD05 or HSD10 option is installed.

TLZ-Series Tape Drives 2–1

Page 44

2.3 TLZ07 Installation Preparation

TLZ07 tape drives require that bus node ID jumpers or DIP switches be set on the drive before the ISE is installed in a BA400-series enclosure. The TLZ07 tape drive has both jumpers and DIP switches that can be used to set the bus node ID, but only one or the other must be used.

When installing a TLZ07 tape drive, refer to the reference booklet or data sheet that is shipped with the drive to set the proper bus node ID (SCSI ID) jumpers or DIP switches. Also ensure that the TERM PWR and the TERM ENABLE jumpers are removed and that the TERM PWR and the TERM ENABLE DIP switches are set to 0. Failure to remove the TERM ENABLE jumper or set the TERM ENABLE DIP switch to 0 (termination disabled) will cause improper operation of the drive.

Note

If the DIP switches are used to set the bus node ID, ensure that all of the bus node ID jumpers are removed. If the jumpers are used to set the bus node ID, ensure that all of the bus node ID DIP switches are set to 0.

In VAX 4000 systems, the SCSI termination and TERM PWR are provided by the controller module on one end of the bus and termination for the other end of the bus is provided by an external terminator.

Refer to Section 1.4.4 for bus node ID conﬁguration guidelines.

5.4 Completing the Installation

This section explains how to verify successful installation of the TZ-series tape drives by performing the power-on self-test (POST).

5.4.1 TZ-Series Power-On Self-Test

When the TZ-series subsystem is powered on, the drive performs the power-on self-test (POST). The sequence of events are listed in Table 5–1.

Successful POST

POST completes in about 13 seconds and the subsystem responds normally to all commands. However, it might take longer for the media to become ready. After a bus reset, the tape drive responds with a bus selection timeout period.

After completing a successful execution of the POST, have the system manager restart the operating system and assign a device name to the TZ-series drives.

Unsuccessful POST

The POST failed if all indicators continue to ﬂash.

Attempt to clear the failure by powering off the system and then reexecuting the POST.

If the failure continues, refer to the appropriate system troubleshooting and diagnostics manual (Appendix A).

5.5 Setting the ISE Parameters

For TZ-series tape drives the SCSI ISE parameters are set in the same manner as the RZ-series ISEs. Refer to the HSD05 DSSI-to-SCSI Bus Adapter Operation Information for BA400-Based VAX 4000 Systems manual (EK– HSDC5–IN) or the HSD10 DSSI-to-SCSI Bus Adapter Operation Information for VAX 4000 Systems manual (EK–HSD10–OP) for this procedure.
