NOTE: The tower or desktop version of the HP D2D Backup System uses a different system
architecture and has a different service and maintenance model. It is not described in this guide.

Performance best practices

HP recommends that you review the Best Practices for Perfomance Optimization White Paper, describing simple steps that can be performed to ensure that your HP D2D Backup System is optimized as efficiently as possible.
You can view this white paper from http://www.hp.com/support/manuals. Search for "D2D" and your specific product. The white papers are shown under the 'White paper' section.

HP D2D and HP ProLiant

The information in the appropriate ProLiant Maintenance and Service Guide should be the primary reference source for hardware issues on the related D2D Backup System. Spare part numbers are available in the ProLiant guides. This guide contains only information that is not included in the ProLiant documentation.

Performance best practices 5
NOTE: The software and, in some cases, the BIOS are unique to the HP D2D Backup System; it
does not use the same software (nor, in some cases, BIOS) as the ProLiant server.
There are a number of ways of accessing the ProLiant documentation on the HP web. A quick method is to:
1. Go to http://www.hp.com/support/manuals.
2. Search on the ProLiant server name, as shown in Table 1.

How do I tell whether I have a G1 or G2 product?

In later revisions of D2D software, the Summary Page of the Web Management Interface will tell you the Type of product".
The product model number also identifies whether it is a G1 or a G2 product. This number can be found on the product label (you may need to remove the product from the rack to locate the label).

2 The flash memory module

Overview

The flash memory module is required to boot up the HP D2D Backup System.
With HP D2D4324/4312 Backup Systems, this consists of a USB flash stick that plugs into
the system board.
With all other HP D2D Backup Systems, this consists of a USB flash stick and cable.
There are different memory sticks for G2 and G1 products. Make sure you are using the
correct one. See Identifying G1 and G2 products (page 6).

Part number

Each software revision has its own part number. Please refer to http://www.hp.com or contact HP Support to find out which part number is required.

Identifying a flash memory module failure

Symptoms of problems with the memory module are:
The system hangs
Hosts cannot connect to the HP D2D Backup System via the Web Management Interface

Troubleshooting procedure

1. If it is not already connected, connect the system console to the HP D2D Backup System.
2. Power cycle the HP D2D Backup System.
3. The HP D2D will attempt to boot from the flash memory module. The flash memory module is
at fault, if the reboot fails with the following message: “Cannot find any bootable media” or if the system fails to boot completely or if it attempts to PXE boot.
4. Power off the system, remove the cover and check the cabling on the flash memory module.
If this does not remedy the problem, replace the flash memory module.

Replacing the memory module, G2 HP D2D Backup Systems only

NOTE: The memory module for the HP D2D4324 and HP D2D4312 model consists of a USB
flash stick. The memory module for the other G2 models consists of a flash stick with cable. It is normally sufficient to replace only the USB stick, leaving the existing cable in place.
See the next section, if you are replacing the memory model in a G1 product.
1. Power off the system and remove the cover from the HP D2D, as described in the appropriate
HP ProLiant Maintenance and Service guide. Locate the memory module (labeled 1 on the diagrams below).
2. Pull the failed memory module out of the USB connector (1) and simply plug in the replacement
module.
3. HP D2D4112/4106 and HP D2D2502/2504 models only: If you need to replace the cable as well, first unscrew the bracket (2) holding the USB connector and then disconnect the cable from the motherboard (3). Replace the whole cable and tighten the screw on the bracket. Make sure both ends of the cable are connected securely.
NOTE: The memory module for the HP D2D4324/4312 model does not have a cable.
Overview 15
4. Be sure to update the HP D2D software to the latest version. This is done from the Web Management Interface (Settings/Software page), as described in the HP StoreOnce D2D Backup System User Guide.

Identifying a RAID contoller failure

RAID card failures are reported in the Log and in email alerts, if you have set them up. For example: cache module failure.
You can identify which card has failed by looking at the Storage-RAID pages of the Web Management Interface. The P410i card is identified as “internal”; the P812 or P411 cards are identified by their slot number in the Controllers section. Any issues with logical units on this page also indicate a problem.
If the HP SAS expander card is at fault, disks will not be visible on the Storage-Shelves tab
NOTE: If RAID fails and the HP D2D Backup System is still functioning, you can also get
information, including license keys, by generating a Support ticket (from the Administration-Support web page).

Before replacing a RAID controller — a note about licenses

The Smart Array Advanced Pack (SAAP) is required to enable RAID 6 support. You must reinstate the SAAP license, if you replace the motherboard/P410i on the HP D2D4324 or HP D2D4312 products or if you replace one of the P411 cards on an HP D2D4312 product. (You do not need to reinstate the license, if you replace one of the P812 cards on an HP D2D4324 product.)
If you do not reinstate the license, the system will experience one of the following symptoms :
Very slow product performance (Running as RAID 5 access to the disks, if the arrays had not

P212 card failures are likely to occur only during power down or power up. Failure means that the P212 card is unable to mount the RAID array. Status messages on the Web Management Interface will advise that:
Summary page: RAID catastrophically failed
Storage—RAID page (HP D2D4106/4112): RAID device is not available. Any
issues with logical units on this page also indicate a problem.
RAID page (HP D2D2502/2504): RAID device is not available
RAID card failures are also reported in the Log and in email alerts, if you have set them up. For example: cache module failure.
NOTE: If RAID fails and the HP D2D Backup System is still functioning, you can also get
information, including license keys, by generating a Support ticket (from the Administration-Support web page).

Before replacing a RAID controller — a note about licenses

NOTE: HP D2D2502/2504 G2 products do not require the SAAP license, since they operate
in RAID 5 mode.
The Smart Array Advanced Pack (SAAP) is required to enable RAID 6 support. You must reinstate the SAAP license, if you replace the P212 cards on an HP D2D4106/4112 G2 product. If you do not, the system will experience one of the following symptoms :
Very slow product performance (Running as RAID 5 access to the disks, if the arrays had not
failed themselves)
Refusal to create the storage (if the storage arrays have failed and need to be rebuilt from
scratch)
The units are shipped with paper copies of the SAAP license. If you no longer have this license and the board is still working, make a note of the license before you replace the faulty SmartArray card. If it is not working, contact HP Support.
1. Reboot the system.
2. During the POST screen, when advised, hit any key to see further messages.
3. Enter the Smart Array POST ORCA utility by pressing [F8] when the details for the RAID
controller are displayed during the POST messages.
4. Select the Manage Licenses option in the Smart Array menu, and then select View Licenses.
5. Make a note of the licence key reported. This key is unique to the system and can be used
for any replacement Smart Array card.

Replacing the HP Smart Array P212 controller

IMPORTANT: When replacing the P212 controller be sure to always replace the card into the
same full-height slot from which it was removed. Make sure the card is connected to the BBWC.
1. Check first that the P212 controller is seated properly and the cable to the BBWC is secure.
2. Make sure the HP D2D is powered off and, observing the safety and antistatic procedures documented in the HP ProLiant and HP Smart Arrays for HP ProLiant Servers user guides, remove the cover and PCI cage from the HP D2D and disconnect the failed card from the cable. Replace it with the new card (1) and secure it to the bracket (2).

P400 controller failure

Identifying a P400 card failure

P400 card failures are likely to occur only during power down or power up. Failure means that the P400 card is unable to mount the RAID array. Status messages on the Web Management Interface will advise that:
Summary page: RAID catastrophically failed
RAID page: RAID device is not available

Replacing the HP Smart Array P400 controller

Replacement cards are supplied with a cable to connect the P400 controller to the BBWC, but this cable is too short for use in the HP D2D. It is normally sufficient to replace the P400 controller and/or battery, leaving the existing cable that connects the card to the BBWC in place. If the existing cable is damaged (for example, bent pins), you must order a separate replacement cable.
1. Power off the HP D2D backup System. Remove the cover and PCI cage from the HP D2D, as described in the appropriate HP ProLiant Maintenance and Service guide, and locate the P400 controller.
2. Check that the P400 controller is seated properly and the cable to the BBWC is secure.
NOTE: There are eight LEDs on the P400 controller card that provide diagnostic information
when the unit is powered on. For a detailed description of these LEDs, refer to the “HP Smart Arrays for HP ProLiant Servers user guide”.
