IBM TotalStorage FAStT600 Fibre Channel Storage Server: Installation and User’s Guide
Chapter 1. Introduction
IBM Fibre Array Storage Technology (FAStT) solutions support the large and
growing data storage requirements of business-critical applications. These scalable
IBM FAStT solutions offer you data access and protection to meet your existing
enterprise storage requirements and prepare for the future.
Fibre channel is a new technology, similar to a high-speed network, that you can
use to connect large amounts of disk storage to a server or cluster of servers. Fibre
Channel technology supports increased performance, scalability, availability, and
distance for attaching storage subsystems to network servers. The storage server
provides for the attachment of Fibre Channel disk drives to give superior
performance and redundancy.
Fibre channel technology supports applications that require large amounts of disk
storage that is shared by two or more servers. With fibre channel, you can see a
higher throughput rate over longer distances than is possible with Small Computer
System Interface (SCSI) or with serial storage architecture (SSA) technology.
This document describes how to install and configure the following types of IBM
TotalStorage FAStT600 storage servers:
v
“FAStT600 Model 6LU/6LX”
v
“FAStT600 Model 60U/60X” on page 2
v
“FAStT600 Turbo Model 60U/60X” on page 2
After
you review the introductory information that is provided in this chapter, go to
Chapter 2, “Installing and configuring the storage server,” on page 15 to begin the
installation process.
Note:
The figures used in this document are for illustrative purposes only. In some
cases, the actual device might look different from the figure.
This applies particularly in cases where the FAStT600 single-controller
storage server (Model 6LU/6LX) differs from the FAStT600 dual-controller
storage server (Model 60U/60X).
FAStT600 Model 6LU/6LX
The FAStT600 single-controller storage server (Model 6LU/6LX) includes one RAID
controller, one power supply, and two cooling units. It also includes fourteen
hot-swap internal disk drive slots, which support over 2 TBs of storage capacity

Clustering support
Clustering is a means of sharing array groups among controllers to provide
redundancy of controllers and servers. This redundancy is important if a hardware
component fails. If a hardware component failure occurs in a cluster, another server
takes ownership of the array group.
Clustering requires software specific to your operating system. For more information
about clustering, go to the following Web site:
www.ibm.com/pc/us/compat/nos/cert.shtml

Handling static-sensitive devices
Attention: Static electricity can damage electronic devices and your system. To
avoid damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their static-protective package until
you are ready to install them.
To
reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge (ESD), observe the following
precautions:
v
Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around
you.
v
Handle the device carefully. Hold it by its edges or its 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 static-protective package, you should hold the
device and touch an unpainted metal part of the system unit for at least two
seconds. This drains static electricity from the package and from your body.
v
Remove the device from its package and install it directly into your system unit
without setting it down. If it is necessary to set the device down, place it in its
static-protective package. Do not place the device on your system unit cover or
on a
metal table.
Chapter 1. Introduction

|
|
|
|
|
|
v
Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather because heating
reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity.
Best practices guidelines
To
ensure optimal operation of your system, always follow these best practices
guidelines:
v
Back up the data on your storage drives periodically.
v
Before any planned system shutdown or after any system changes (additions,
removals, or modifications), save controller subsystem profiles as explained in
the IBM FAStT Storage Manager Installation and User’s Guide for your operating
system.
v
Ensure that your system is in an optimal state before shutting down. Never turn
the power off if any fault light is lit; be sure to resolve any error conditions before
you shut down the system.
v
During any maintenance or attended power-up procedure, carefully follow the
power-up sequence listed in “Turning on the storage server” on page 46. Each
component of the subsystem should be checked that it is powered-on in the
proper order during this entire power-up procedure to ensure the controller will be
able to optimally access all of your storage subsystems.
v
The storage subsystem supports simultaneous power-up to the system
components; however, you should always follow the power-up sequence listed in
“Turning on the storage server” on page 46 during any attended power-up
procedure.
v A
storage system in an optimal state should recover automatically from an
unexpected shutdown and unattended simultaneous restoration of power to
system components. After power is restored, call IBM support if any of the
following conditions occur:
–
The storage subsystem logical drives and arrays are not displayed in the
Storage Manager graphical user interface (GUI).
–
The storage subsystem logical drives and arrays do not come online.
–
The storage subsystem logical drives and arrays seem to be degraded.
v
FAStT600 Model 60U/60X only: To maintain power redundancy, plug the
FAStT600 dual-controller storage server’s right and left power supplies into two
independent external power circuits through ac distribution units inside a rack
cabinet or directly into external receptacles. Similarly, the right and left power
supplies of the FAStT drive enclosures attached to the FAStT600 storage server
should be plugged into the same two independent external power circuits as the
FAStT600 storage server. This ensures that the FAStT600 storage server and all
its attached drive enclosures will have power if only one power circuit is
available. In addition, having all the right or all the left power supplies plugged
into the same power circuit will enable the components in the storage subsystem
to
power on simultaneously during an unattended restoration of power. See
Figure 40 on page 41 for an example of redundant power connections.
Storage server components
The topics in this section show the components of the FAStT600 storage server.
All FAStT600 storage server models support hot-swap Fibre Channel hard drive
CRUs and cooling fan CRUs, so you can remove and replace these components
without turning off the storage server. In addition, the FAStT600 storage server
models 60X/60U support hot-swap power supplies and RAID controller CRUs.
