The unit identification (UID) button helps locate an enclosure and its components. When the UID button is activated, the UID on the front and rear of the enclosure are illuminated.
NOTE: A remote session from the management utility can also illuminate the UID.
•To turn on the UID light, press the UID button. The UID light on the front and the rear of the enclosure will illuminate solid blue. (The UID on cascaded storage enclosures are not illuminated.)
•To turn off an illuminated UID light, press the UID button. The UID light on the front and the rear of the enclosure will turn off.
The power on/standby button applies either full or partial power to the enclosure chassis.
•To initially power on the enclosure, press and hold the on/standby button for a few seconds, until the LEDs begin to illuminate.
•To place an enclosure in standby, press and hold the on standby button for a few seconds, until the on/standby LED changes to amber.
NOTE: System power to the disk enclosure does not completely shut off with the power on/standby button. The standby position removes power from most of the electronics and components, but portions of the power supply and some internal circuitry remain active. To completely remove power from the system, disconnect all power cords from the device.
These disk enclosures use cables with mini-SAS connectors for connections to the controller and cascaded disk enclosures.
For both the P63x0 EVA and P65x0 EVA, a single enclosure contains a management module and two controllers. Two interconnected controllers ensure that the failure of a controller component does not disable the system. One controller can fully support an entire system until the defective controller, or controller component, is repaired. The controllers have an 8 Gb host port capability. The P63x0 and P65x0 EVA controllers are available in FC, FC-iSCSI, and iSCSI/FCoE versions. The controller models are HSV340 (for the P63x0) and HSV360 (for the P65x0).
Figure 1 (page 22) shows the bezel of the controller enclosure. Figure 2 (page 22) shows the front of the controller enclosure with the bezel removed.

Each P63x0 controller contains two SAS data ports. Each P65x0 controller contains four SAS data ports (made possible using Y-cables—one cable with two outputs). For both the P63x0 and P65x0 EVA, the FC controller adds four 8 Gb FC ports (Figure 3 (page 23)); the FC-iSCSI controller adds two 8 Gb FC ports and four 1 GbE iSCSI ports (Figure 4 (page 23)); and the iSCSI/FCoE controller adds two 8 Gb FC ports and two10 GbE iSCSI/FCoE ports (Figure 5 (page 24)).

The status indicators display the operational status of the controller. The function of each indicator is described in Table 3 (page 25). During initial setup, the status indicators might not be fully operational.
Each port on the rear of the controller has an associated status indicator located directly above it. Table 1 (page 25) lists the port and its status description for the HSV340. Table 2 (page 25) lists the port and its status descriptions for the HSV340 FC-iSCSI.

Solid amber indicates that the controller cannot reboot, and that the controller should be replaced. If both the solid amber and solid blue LEDs are lit, the controller has completed a warm removal procedure, and can be safely swapped.

Only used on the FC-iSCSI and iSCSI/FCoE controllers (not on |
|
|
the FC controller). |
|
|
Amber LED indicates the FC-iSCSI or iSCSI/FCoE module status |
|
|
that is communicated to the array controller. |
|
|
Slow flashing amber LED indicates an IP address conflict on the |
|
|
management port. |
|
|
Solid amber indicates an FC-iSCSI or iSCSI/FCoE module critical |
|
|
error, or shutdown. |
5 |
|
Green LED indicates write-back cache status. Slow flashing green |
|
|
LED indicates standby power. Solid green LED indicates cache is |
|
|
good with normal AC power applied. |
6 |
|
Amber LED indicates DIMM status. The LED is off when DIMM |
|
|
status is good. Slow flashing amber indicates DIMMs are being |
|
|
powered by battery (during AC power loss). Flashing amber with |
|
|
the chassis powered up indicates a degraded battery. Solid amber |
|
|
with the chassis powered up indicates a failed battery. |
Two power supplies provide the necessary operating voltages to all controller enclosure components. If one power supply fails, the remaining power supply is capable of operating the enclosure. (Replace any failed component as soon as possible.)
NOTE: If one of the two power supply modules fails, it can be hot-replaced.

The HP P6000 Control Panel provides a direct interface to the management module within each controller. From the HP P6000 Control Panel you can display storage system status and configuration information, shut down the storage system, and manage the password. For tasks to perform with the HP P6000 Control Panel, see the HP P6000 Control Panel online help.
The HP P6000 Control Panel provides two levels of administrator access and an interface for software updates to the management module. For additional details about the HP P6000 Control Panel, see the HP P6000 Control Panel online help.
NOTE: The HP P6350 and P6550 employ a performance-enhanced management module as well as new batteries. This requires HP P6000 Command View 10.1 or later on the management module and XCS 11000000 or later on the P6350 and P6550.
The iSCSI and iSCSI/FCoE recessed maintenance button is the only manual user-accessible control for the module. It is used to reset or to recover a module. This maintenance button is a multifunction momentary switch and provides the following functions, each of which causes a reboot that completes in less than one minute:
•Reset the iSCSI or iSCSI/FCoE module and boot the primary image
•Reset the iSCSI or iSCSI/FCoE MGMT port IP address
•Enable iSCSI or iSCSI/FCoE MGMT port DHCP address
•Reset the iSCSI or iSCSI/FCoE module to factory defaults

Use a pointed nonmetallic tool to briefly press the maintenance button for a duration of two seconds and release it. The iSCSI or iSCSI/FCoE module responds as follows:
1.The amber MEZZ status LED illuminates once.
NOTE: Holding the maintenance button for more than two seconds but less than six seconds or until the MEZZ status LED illuminates twice, boots a secondary image, and is not recommended for field use.
2.After approximately two seconds, the power-on self-test begins, and the MEZZ status LED is turned off.
3.When the power-on self test is complete, the MEZZ status LED illuminates and flashes once per second.
Reset and restore the MGMT port IP address to the default of 192.168.0.76 or 192.168.0.82 depending on the controller 1 or 2 position.
NOTE: Setting the IP address by this method is not persistent. To make the change persistent, use the command line interface (CLI).
1.Use a pointed nonmetallic tool to briefly press the maintenance button. Release the button after six seconds and observe six extended flashes of the MEZZ status LED.
2.The iSCSI or iSCSI/FCoE module boots and sets the MGMT port to IP address 192.168.0.76 or 192.168.0.82 depending on the controller 1 or 2 position.
Resets the iSCSI or iSCSI/FCoE module and configure the MGMT port to use DHCP to access its IP address. Enabling DHCP by this method is not persistent. To make the change persistent, use the CLI .
1.Use a pointed nonmetallic tool to briefly press the maintenance button. Release the button after seven seconds and observe seven extended flashes of the MEZZ status LED.
2.The iSCSI or iSCSI/FCoE module boots and configures the MGMT port for DHCP.
This resets the iSCSI or iSCSI/FCoE module and restores it to the factory default configuration, with reset passwords, MGMT port IP address set to either 192.168.0.76 or 192.168.0.82 depending on the controller 1 or 2 position, Disables iSCSI ports with no IP address, erases presentations, and erases discovered initiators and targets).
1.Use a pointed nonmetallic tool to press the maintenance button. Release the button after twenty seconds and observe twenty extended flashes of the MEZZ status LED.
2.The iSCSI or iSCSI/FCoE module boots and is restored to factory defaults.
All data cables and power cables attach to the rear of the controller. Adjacent to each data connector is a two-colored link status indicator. Table 1 (page 25) identifies the status conditions presented by these indicators.
NOTE: These indicators do not indicate whether there is communication on the link, only whether the link can transmit and receive data.
The data connections are the interfaces to the disk drive enclosures, the other controller, and the fabric. Fiber optic cables link the controllers to the fabric, and, if an expansion cabinet is part of the configuration, link the expansion cabinet drive enclosures to the loops in the main cabinet.
HSV controller cabling 29
Y-cables (Figure 12 (page 30)) are used to connect the P6500 EVA and enable each controller data port to act as two ports.

All storage system components are mounted in a rack. Each configuration includes one controller enclosure holding both controllers (the controller pair) and the disk enclosures. Each controller pair and all associated disk enclosures form a single storage system.
The rack provides the capability for mounting standard 483 mm (19 in) wide controller and disk enclosures.
NOTE: Racks and rack-mountable components are typically described using “U” measurements. “U” measurements are used to designate panel or enclosure heights. The “U” measurement is a standard of 41mm (1.6 in).
The racks provide the following:
•Unique frame and rail design—Allows fast assembly, easy mounting, and outstanding structural integrity.
•Thermal integrity—Front-to-back natural convection cooling is greatly enhanced by the innovative multi-angled design of the front door.
•Security provisions—The front and rear door are lockable, which prevents unauthorized entry.
•Flexibility—Provides easy access to hardware components for operation monitoring.
•Custom expandability—Several options allow for quick and easy expansion of the racks to create a custom solution.
The standard rack for the P63x0/P65x0 EVA is the 42U HP 10000 Intelligent Series rack. The P63x0/P65x0 EVA is also supported with 22U, 36U, 42U 5642, and 47U racks. The 42U 5642 is a field-installed option. The 47U rack must be assembled on site because the cabinet height creates shipping difficulties.
