current product documentation link, and then click Multi-language.
Inspecting the SAN Volume Controller for unsafe conditions
Use caution when working in any potential safety hazardous situation that is not
covered in the safety checks. If unsafe conditions are present, determine how
serious the hazards are and whether you can continue before you correct the
problem.
Before you start the safety inspection, make sure that the power is off, and that the
power cord is disconnected.
Each device has required safety items installed to protect users and IBM service
personnel from injury. This guide addresses only those items.
Important: Good judgment must also be used to identify potential safety hazards
due to the attachment of non-IBM features or options not covered by
this inspection guide.
If any unsafe conditions are present, you must determine how serious the apparent
hazard could be and whether you can continue without first correcting the
problem. For example, consider the following conditions and their potential safety
hazards:
Electrical hazards (especially primary power)
Primary voltage on the frame can cause serious or lethal electrical shock.
© Copyright IBM Corp. 2003, 2008 vii
Explosive hazards
A damaged CRT face or a bulging capacitor can cause serious injury.
Mechanical hazards
Loose or missing items (for example, nuts and screws) can cause serious
injury.
To inspect each SAN Volume Controller node for unsafe conditions, perform the
following steps. If necessary, see any suitable safety publications.
1. Turn off the SAN Volume Controller and disconnect the power cord.
2. Check the frame for damage (loose, broken, or sharp edges).
3. Check the power cables using the following steps:
a. Ensure that the third-wire ground connector is in good condition. Use a
meter to check that the third-wire ground continuity is 0.1 ohm or less
between the external ground pin and the frame ground.
b. Ensure that the power cord is the appropriate type, as specified in the parts
listings.
c. Ensure that the insulation is not worn or damaged.
4. Check for any obvious nonstandard changes, both inside and outside the unit.
Use good judgment about the safety of any such changes.
5. Check inside the SAN Volume Controller for any obvious unsafe conditions,
such as metal particles, contamination, water or other fluids, or marks of
overheating, fire, or smoke damage.
6. Check for worn, damaged, or pinched cables.
7. Ensure that the voltage that is specified on the product-information label
matches the specified voltage of the electrical power outlet. If necessary, verify
the voltage.
8. Inspect the power-supply assemblies and check that the fasteners (screws or
rivets) in the cover of the power-supply unit have not been removed or
disturbed.
9. Before connecting the SAN Volume Controller to the storage area network
(SAN), check the grounding.
External device check
Ensure that you perform an external device check before you install the SAN
Volume Controller.
To conduct an external device check, perform the following steps:
1. Verify that all external covers are present and are not damaged.
2. Ensure that all latches and hinges are in the correct operating condition.
3. If the SAN Volume Controller is not installed in a rack cabinet, check for loose
or broken feet.
4. Check the power cord for damage.
5. Check the external signal cable for damage.
6. Check the cover for sharp edges, damage, or alterations that expose the internal
parts of the device.
7. Correct any problems that you find.
Internal device checks
Ensure that you perform an internal device check before you install the SAN
Volume Controller.
viii IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller: Models 2145-8F2 and 2145-8F4 Hardware Installation Guide
To conduct the internal device check, perform the following steps:
1. Check for any non-IBM changes that might have been made to the device. If
any are present, obtain the “Non-IBM Alteration Attachment Survey,” form
number R009, from the IBM branch office. Complete the form and return it to
the branch office.
2. Check the condition of the inside of the device for any metal or other
contaminants, or any indications of water, other fluid, fire, or smoke damage.
3. Check for any obvious mechanical problems, such as loose components.
4. Check any exposed cables and connectors for wear, cracks, or pinching.
Checking the grounding of a SAN Volume Controller, the uninterruptible power supply, and the redundant ac-power switch
Ensure that you understand how to check the grounding of a SAN Volume
Controller, the uninterruptible power supply, and the optional redundant ac-power
switch feature.
Ensure that you understand how to check the grounding of a SAN Volume
Controller, the uninterruptible power supply, and the optional redundant ac-power
switch.
To test the grounding of a SAN Volume Controller node, perform the following
steps. Before you start, confirm that you know the SAN Volume Controller model
type and whether you are using redundant ac power. Determine the location of the
signal cables that are attached to the SAN Volume Controller.
When you are asked to test the grounding continuity, use your local procedures to
perform the test. The test is successful if the measured resistance is 0.1 ohm or less.
Attention: Some electrical circuits can be damaged if the external signal cables
are present at the SAN Volume Controller while it is undergoing a grounding test.
1. Ensure that the SAN Volume Controller node is powered off. See “MAP 5350:
Powering off a SAN Volume Controller node” in the IBM System Storage SAN
Volume Controller Troubleshooting Guide.
2. Disconnect all signal cables from the SAN Volume Controller node, which
includes the following cables:
v The fibre-channel cables
1
v The Ethernet cable or cables
v The serial cable that is connected to the uninterruptible power supply
3. Disconnect all signal cables from the uninterruptible power supply.
4. If redundant ac power is not used, disconnect the uninterruptible power-supply
power cable from the site power-distribution unit.
5. If redundant ac power is used, turn off any SAN Volume Controller that is
being supplied from the redundant ac-power switch, and remove the power
cable to this system from the redundant ac-power switch.
6. If redundant ac power is used, disconnect both input power leads from the site
power distribution units.
7. If redundant ac power is not used, test the grounding continuity between a
conductive area on the SAN Volume Controller frame and the ground pin on
the plug of the uninterruptible power-supply input-power cable.
8. If redundant ac power is used, test the grounding continuity between a
conductive area on the SAN Volume Controller frame and the ground pin on
Safety and environmental notices ix
the plug of the main power cable of the redundant ac-power switch. If the test
is successful, test the grounding continuity between a conductive area on the
SAN Volume Controller frame and the ground pin on the plug of the backup
power cable of the redundant ac-power switch. Both tests must be successful.
9. After you have completed testing the grounding continuity, perform one of the
following procedures, depending on the outcome of the test.
v If the test is successful, reconnect any cables that were removed, and power
on any uninterruptible power-supply units and SAN Volume Controller
nodes that were powered off.
v If the test was not successful, ensure that all cables are securely connected. If
the test still fails, test the individual system components. Before you test the
individual components, remove all cables from the components. If any
component test fails, replace the component. After each component has been
tested and the failing ones have been replaced, repeat the complete system
test by returning to step 1 on page ix.
Test the components in the following order:
a. The SAN Volume Controller node, from the frame to the ground pin of
the input power receptacle
b. The uninterruptible power supply from the ground pin of the input
power receptacle to the ground conductor of the output power receptacle
c. If used, the redundant ac-power switch from the ground pin of the main
input power receptacle to the ground conductor of the output power
receptacle, and from the ground pin of the backup input power receptacle
to the ground conductor of the output power receptacle
d. The SAN Volume Controller node to uninterruptible power-supply
power-cable assembly, between the two ground conductors of the power
cable
e. The uninterruptible power-supply input-power cable, between the two
ground conductors of the power cable
f. If used, the redundant ac-power switch main input-power cable, between
the two ground conductors of the cable
g. If used, the redundant ac-power switch backup input-power cable,
between the two ground conductors of the cable
Inspecting the uninterruptible power supply for unsafe conditions
Ensure that you take the time to inspect the uninterruptible power supply for
unsafe conditions.
Consider the following conditions and their potential safety hazards:
Electrical hazards (especially primary power)
Primary voltage on the frame can cause serious or lethal electrical shock.
Explosive hazards
A bulging capacitor can cause serious injury.
Mechanical hazards
Loose or missing items (for example, nuts and screws) can cause serious
injury.
Use caution when working in a potential safety hazard that is not covered in the
safety checks. If unsafe conditions are present, determine how serious the hazards
are and whether you can continue before you correct the problem.
x IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller: Models 2145-8F2 and 2145-8F4 Hardware Installation Guide
Using the following inspection checklist as a guide, inspect the uninterruptible
power supply for unsafe conditions. If necessary, see any suitable safety
publications.
1. If any equipment has been damaged during the shipment, keep the shipping
cartons and packing materials.
2. To file a claim for the shipping damage, perform the following steps:
a. File with the carrier within fifteen days of receipt of the equipment.
b. Send a copy of the damage claim within fifteen days to your service
support representative.
Handling static-sensitive devices
Ensure that you understand how to handle devices that are sensitive to static
electricity.
Attention: Static electricity can damage electronic devices and your system. To
avoid damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their static-protective bags until you
are ready to install them.
To reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge, observe the following
precautions:
v Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around
you.
v Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or frame.
v Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed printed circuitry.
v Do not leave the device where others can handle and possibly damage the
device.
v While the device is still in its antistatic bag, touch it to an unpainted metal part
of the system unit for at least two seconds. (This action removes static electricity
from the package and from your body.)
v Remove the device from its package and install it directly into your SAN
Volume Controller, without putting it down. If it is necessary to put the device
down, place it onto its static-protective bag. (If your device is an adapter, place it
component-side up.) Do not place the device onto the cover of the SAN Volume
Controller or onto a metal table.
v Take additional care when you handle devices during cold weather because
heating reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity.
Environmental notices and statements
You must become familiar with the environmental notices and statements.
The following topics describe the environmental notices and statements that are
applicable to this product.
1089CORE
The following comments apply to the IBM servers that have been designated as

5. Complete the initial SAN Volume Controller configuration.
After you create the SAN Volume Controller cluster, you must perform the
configuration procedures that are needed to meet your requirements. You can
perform these procedures in stages; for example, add nodes to a cluster, set
cluster date and time, and set license features immediately. Later, after your
applications are tested and migrated to SAN Volume Controller, create host
definitions, assign managed disks (MDisks) to MDisk groups, and set up
virtual disks (VDisks) and assign them to hosts.
You can also set up error and event notifications, including Call Home e-mails,
to immediately notify you and the IBM Support Center if critical problems
occur.
The following chapters include procedures for these tasks:
v Chapter 5 of the IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller Software
Installation and Configuration Guide describes how to perform these steps
using the SAN Volume Controller Console.

Installation and configuration overview xxi
xxii IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller: Models 2145-8F2 and 2145-8F4 Hardware Installation Guide
Chapter 1. SAN Volume Controller overview
The SAN Volume Controller combines software and hardware into a
comprehensive, modular appliance that uses symmetric virtualization.
Symmetric virtualization is achieved by creating a pool of managed disks (MDisks)
from the attached storage systems. Those storage systems are then mapped to a set
of virtual disks (VDisks) for use by attached host systems. System administrators
can view and access a common pool of storage on the storage area network (SAN).
This functionality helps administrators to use storage resources more efficiently
and provides a common base for advanced functions.
Each SAN Volume Controller node is an individual server in a SAN Volume
Controller cluster on which the SAN Volume Controller software runs.
The nodes are always installed in pairs, with a minimum of one and a maximum
of four pairs of nodes constituting a cluster. Each pair of nodes is known as an I/O
group. All I/O operations that are managed by the nodes in an I/O group are
cached on both nodes.

Volume Controller Troubleshooting Guide.
Attention: When the node is operational and you press and immediately release
the power control button, the SAN Volume Controller indicates on its front panel
that it is turning off and writes its control data to its internal disk. This can take up
to five minutes. If you press the power control button but do not release it, the
node turns off immediately without the SAN Volume Controller control data being
written to disk. Service actions are then required to make the SAN Volume
Controller operational again. Therefore, during a power-off operation, do not press
and hold the power control button for more than two seconds.
Note: The 2145 UPS-1U does not turn off when the SAN Volume Controller is shut
down from the power control button.

The power LED has the following properties:
Off One or more of the following are true:
v No power is present at the power supply input.
v The power supply has failed.
v The LED has failed.
On The SAN Volume Controller node is turned on.
Flashing
The SAN Volume Controller node is turned off, but is still connected to a
power source.
Chapter 1. SAN Volume Controller overview 7
Note: A power LED is also at the rear of the node.
Select button
Use the select button to select an item from a menu.
The select button and navigation buttons help you to navigate and select menu
and boot options, and start a service panel test. The select button is located on the
front panel of the SAN Volume Controller, near the navigation buttons.
Node identification label
The node identification label on the front panel displays a six-digit node
identification number. Sometimes this number is called the panel name or front
panel ID.
The node identification label is the six-digit number that is input to the svctask
addnode command. It is readable by system software and is used by configuration
and service software as a node identifier. The node identification number can also
be displayed on the front-panel display when node is selected from the menu.
If the service controller assembly front panel is replaced, the configuration and
service software displays the number that is printed on the front of the
replacement panel. Future error reports contain the new number. No cluster
reconfiguration is necessary when the front panel is replaced.
Error LED
Critical faults on the service controller are indicated through the amber error LED.
The error LED has the following two states:
OFF The service controller is functioning correctly.
ON A critical service-controller failure was detected and you must replace the
service controller.

The physical port numbers identify fibre-channel cards and cable connections
when you perform service tasks. The WWPNs are used for tasks such as
fibre-channel switch configuration and to uniquely identify the devices on the
SAN.
The WWPNs are derived from the worldwide node name (WWNN) of the SAN
Volume Controller node in which the card is installed.
Chapter 1. SAN Volume Controller overview 15
The WWNN is in the form 50050768010XXXXX, where XXXXX is initially derived
from the unit and is specific to a SAN Volume Controller node. You can change the
XXXXX value by using the front panel to facilitate service controller concurrent
replacement and to enable some concurrent upgrade operations.
The WWPNs are in the form 5005076801QXXXXX, where XXXXX is as previously
stated and Q is related to the port number as follows:

Chapter 2. Redundant ac-power switch
The redundant ac-power switch is an optional feature that makes the SAN Volume
Controller nodes resilient to the failure of a single power circuit. The redundant
ac-power switch is not a replacement for an uninterruptible power supply. You
must still use a uninterruptible power supply for each node.
You must connect the redundant ac-power switch to two independent power
circuits. One power circuit connects to the main power input port and the other
power circuit connects to the backup power input port. If the main power to the
SAN Volume Controller node fails for any reason, the redundant ac-power switch
automatically uses the backup power source. When power is restored, the
redundant ac-power switch automatically changes back to using the main power
source.
Place the redundant ac-power switch in the same rack as the SAN Volume
Controller node. The redundant ac-power switch logically sits between the rack
power distribution unit and the 2145 UPS-1U.
You can use a single redundant ac-power switch to power one or two SAN Volume
Controller nodes. If you use the redundant ac-power switch to power two nodes,
the nodes must be in different I/O groups. In the event that the redundant
ac-power switch fails or requires maintenance, both nodes power off. Because the
nodes are in two different I/O groups, the hosts do not lose access to the back-end
disk data.
For maximum resilience to failure, use one redundant ac-power switch to power
each SAN Volume Controller node.

Redundant ac power environment requirements
Ensure that your physical site meets the installation requirements for the
redundant ac-power switch.
© Copyright IBM Corp. 2003, 2008 17
The redundant ac-power switch requires two independent power sources that are
provided through two rack-mounted power distribution units (PDUs). The PDUs
must have IEC320-C13 outlets.
The redundant ac-power switch comes with two IEC 320-C19 to C14 power cables
to connect to rack PDUs. There are no country-specific cables for the redundant
ac-power switch.
The power cable between the redundant ac-power switch and the 2145 UPS-1U is
rated at 10 A.
Redundant ac-power switch specifications
The following tables list the physical characteristics of the redundant ac-power
switch.
Dimensions and weight
Ensure that space is available in a rack that is capable of supporting the redundant
ac-power switch.
Height Width Depth Maximum weight
43 mm (1.69 in.) 192 mm (7.56 in.) 240 mm 2.6 kg (5.72 lb)
Additional space requirements
Ensure that space is also available in the rack for the side mounting plates on
either side of the redundant ac-power switch.
Location Width Reason
Left side 124 mm (4.89 in.) Side mounting plate
Right side 124 mm (4.89 in.) Side mounting plate
Heat output (maximum)
The maximum heat output that is dissipated inside the redundant ac-power switch
is approximately 20 watts (70 Btu per hour).
Cabling of redundant ac-power switch (example)
You must properly cable the redundant ac-power switch units in your
environment.
Note: While this topic provides an example of the cable connections, it does not
indicate a preferred physical location for the components.
Figure 17 on page 19 shows an example of the main wiring for a SAN Volume
Controller cluster with the redundant ac-power switch feature. The four-node
cluster consists of two I/O groups:
v I/O group 0 contains nodes A and B
v I/O group 1 contains nodes C and D

The site PDUs X and Y (13 and 14) are powered from two independent power
sources.
In this example, only two redundant ac-power switch units are used, and each
power switch powers one node in each I/O group. However, for maximum
redundancy, use one redundant ac-power switch to power each node in the cluster.

Chapter 3. Uninterruptible power supply
The uninterruptible power supply protects a SAN Volume Controller node against
blackouts, brownouts, and power surges. The uninterruptible power supply
contains a power sensor to monitor the supply and a battery to provide power
until an orderly shutdown of the system can be performed.
SAN Volume Controller 2145-8F4 and SAN Volume Controller 2145-8F2 use the
2145 UPS-1U.
2145 UPS-1U
A 2145 UPS-1U is used exclusively to maintain data that is held in the SAN
Volume Controller dynamic random access memory (DRAM) in the event of an
unexpected loss of external power. This use differs from the traditional
uninterruptible power supply that enables continued operation of the device that it
supplies when power is lost.
With a 2145 UPS-1U, data is saved to the internal disk of the SAN Volume
Controller node. The uninterruptible power supply units are required to power the
SAN Volume Controller nodes even when the input power source is considered
uninterruptible.
Note: The uninterruptible power supply maintains continuous SAN Volume
Controller-specific communications with its attached SAN Volume Controller
nodes. A SAN Volume Controller node cannot operate without the
uninterruptible power supply. The uninterruptible power supply must be
used in accordance with documented guidelines and procedures and must
not power any equipment other than a SAN Volume Controller node.
2145 UPS-1U configuration
A 2145 UPS-1U powers one SAN Volume Controller node.
To make the SAN Volume Controller cluster more resilient against power failure,
the 2145 UPS-1U units can be connected to the redundant ac-power switch.
If a redundant ac-power switch is not used, the two uninterruptible power supply
units that power an I/O group can be connected to different, independent
electrical power sources. In this case, if a single power source fails, only one node
in the I/O group stops and the SAN Volume Controller cluster can continue to
operate although with reduced performance.
Each uninterruptible power supply must be in the same rack as the node that it
powers.
Each 2145 UPS-1U includes one power cord that connects the uninterruptible
power supply to a redundant ac-power switch, if one exists, or to a rack power
distribution unit (PDU), if one exists. The 2145 UPS-1U also includes an alternative
power cable to connect to an external power source that is specific to your
geography.
© Copyright IBM Corp. 2003, 2008 21
Each 2145 UPS-1U is connected to a SAN Volume Controller node with a power
cable and a signal cable. To avoid the possibility of power and signal cables being
connected to different uninterruptible power supply units, these cables are
wrapped together and supplied as a single field-replaceable unit. The signal cable
enables the SAN Volume Controller node to read status and identification
information from the uninterruptible power supply.
2145 UPS-1U controls and indicators
All controls and indicators for the 2145 UPS-1U are located on the front-panel
assembly.

you turn it on. Press and hold the on/off button until the power-on indicator is
illuminated (approximately five seconds). On some versions of the 2145 UPS-1U,
you might need a pointed device, such as a screwdriver, to press the on/off
button. A self-test is initiated that takes approximately 10 seconds, during which
time the indicators are turned on and off several times. The 2145 UPS-1U then
enters normal mode.
Turning off the 2145 UPS-1U
Press and hold the on/off button until the power-on light is extinguished
(approximately five seconds). On some versions of the 2145 UPS-1U, you might
need a pointed device, such as a screwdriver, to press the on/off button. This
places the 2145 UPS-1U in standby mode. You must then unplug the 2145 UPS-1U
to turn off the unit.
Attention: Do not turn off the uninterruptible power supply before you shut
down the SAN Volume Controller node that it is connected to. Always follow the
instructions that are provided in MAP 5350 to perform an orderly shutdown of a
SAN Volume Controller node.

Testing the redundant ac-power switch
You can test the redundant ac-power switch before you continue installing other
SAN Volume Controller components. You can test the redundant ac-power switch
later if a suitable test device is not available.
You can test whether the redundant ac-power switch correctly switches between
power inputs when the main input power fails or is restored. You can either use a
volt meter to measure for voltage at the output or attach a work light, or similar
device with a C14 plug, to the redundant ac-power switch output and verify that it
remains powered when a failure is simulated on either of the inputs.
Notes:
v If you do not have a separate device to verify that there is power on the
output port of the redundant ac-power switch, you can delay this test
until you connect the redundant ac-power switch to the uninterruptible
power supply. In that case, turn on the uninterruptible power supply
(not the SAN Volume Controller node) and see if it changes to battery
power. The test fails if the uninterruptible power supply switches to
battery power for more than five seconds.
v Any transient indications of battery power can be ignored.
When the instructions say to “remove power,” you can either turn the power off if
the site power-distribution unit (PDU) has outputs that are individually switched
or remove the specified redundant ac-power switch power cable from the outlet of
the site PDU.
Note: If at any time there is no power on the output socket, ensure that the power
distribution sockets of the power source are turned on. If they are, recheck
all of the connections and decide if the redundant ac-power switch assembly,
which includes the input-power cables, is defective.
Perform the following steps to test the redundant ac-power switch:
1. Confirm that there is power at redundant ac-power switch output socket 2.
2. Confirm that there is power at redundant ac-power switch output socket 1.
3. Remove power from the main power cable to the redundant ac-power switch
and confirm that there is power at the redundant ac-power switch output 1.
4. Reconnect the main power cable.
5. Remove power from the backup power cable to the redundant ac-power switch
and confirm that there is power at the redundant ac-power switch output 1.
6. Reconnect the backup power cable and remove the monitoring device.
Note: After any failure, repeat the test phase from the start until all the tests
succeed.
