About this guide

Overview

This guide provides information about initial hardware setup for the Lenovo Storage™ S3200/S2200 enclosure products listed below:

• CNC (Converged Network Controller) controller enclosure:

• Qualified Fibre Channel SFP option supporting (4/8/16 Gb)

• Qualified Internet SCSI (10GbE) SFP option

• Qualified Internet SCSI (1 Gb) Copper RJ-45 SFP option

• HD mini-SAS (12 Gb) controller enclosure

IMPORTANT: Product configuration characteristics

• S3200/S2200 products use the same 2U24 and 2U12 chassis form factor.

• S3200 enclosures provide four host ports per controller module.

• S2200 enclosures provide two host ports per controller module.

• S3200/S2200 models can be configured with one or two RAID canisters per enclosure.

• Supported features vary between S3200 and S2200 as noted herein and within related documents.

The S3200/S2200 enclosures are designed to meet MIL-STD-810G (storage requirements) and European Telco requirements. The S3200/S2200 storage enclosures support a large form factor (LFF 12-disk) 2U chassis and a small form factor (SFF 24-disk) 2U chassis. These chassis form factors support controller enclosures and expansion enclosures.

The S3200/S2200 controller enclosures can optionally be cabled to supported drive enclosures for adding storage. S3200/S2200 storage enclosures can be equipped with single or dual RAID canisters; and they are equipped with two AC power supply modules.

Storage S3200/S2200 enclosures support virtual storage, which uses paged-storage technology. For virtual storage, a group of disks with an assigned RAID level is called a disk group.

IMPORTANT: These Lenovo Storage products are not intended to connect directly to Public Switched Telecommunications Networks.

Storage S3200/S2200 enclosure user interfaces

The S3200/S2200 enclosures support applications for configuring, monitoring, and managing the storage system. The web-based application GUI and the command-line interface are briefly described:

• Storage Management Console (SMC) is the web interface for the enclosures, providing access to all

common management functions for virtual storage.

• The command-line interface (CLI) enables you to interact with the storage system using command syntax

entered via the keyboard or scripting.

NOTE: For more information about enclosure user interfaces, see the following:

• Lenovo Storage Manager Guide or online help

The guide describes the Storage Management Console GUI

• Lenovo Storage CLI Reference Guide

CNC ports used for host connection

Certain models use Converged Network Controller (CNC) technology, allowing you to select the desired host interface protocol from the available Fibre Channel (FC) or Internet SCSI (iSCSI) host interface protocols supported by the system. You can use the Command-line Interface (CLI) to set all controller module CNC ports to use one of these host interface protocols:

• 16 G b F C

• 8 Gb FC

• 4 Gb FC

• 10 G bE iSC SI

• 1 GbE iSCSI

Alternatively, for 4-port S3200 models, you can use the CLI to set CNC ports to support a combination of host interface protocols. When configuring a combination of host interface protocols, host ports 0 and 1 are set to FC (either both16 Gbit/s or both 8 Gbit/s), and host ports 2 and 3 must be set to iSCSI (either both 10GbE or both 1 Gbit/s), provided the CNC ports use the qualified SFP connectors and cables required for supporting the selected host interface protocol.

The 2-port S2200 models do not support SFPs for multiple host interface protocols in combination. You must select a common host interface protocol and SFP for use in all CNC ports within the controller enclosure.

See CNC technology on page 30, S3200 CNC controller module — rear panel LEDs on page 63, and

S2200 CNC controller module — rear panel LEDs on page 66 for more information.

TIP: See the Storage Manager Guide for information about configuring CNC ports with host interface protocols of the same type or a combination of types.

IMPORTANT: CNC controller modules ship with CNC ports initially configured for FC. When connecting CNC ports to iSCSI hosts, you must use the CLI (not the SMC) to specify which ports will use iSCSI. It is best to do this before inserting the iSCSI SFPs into the CNC ports (see Change the CNC port mode on page 44 for instructions).

HD mini-SAS ports used for host connection

S3200 SAS models provide four high-density mini-SAS (HD mini-SAS) ports per controller module, and S2200 SAS models provide two HD mini-SAS ports per controller module. The HD mini-SAS host interface protocol uses the SFF-8644 external connector interface defined for SAS3.0 to support a link rate of 12 Gbit/s using the qualified connectors and cable options. See S3200 SAS controller module—rear panel

LEDs on page 65 and S2200 SAS controller module—rear panel LEDs on page 68 for more information.

Front panel components

Lenovo Storage S3200/S2200 supports 2U24 and 2U12 enclosures in dual-purpose fashion. The 2U24 chassis—configured with 24 2.5" small form factor (SFF) disks—is used as either a controller enclosure or expansion enclosure. The 2U12 chassis—configured with 12 3.5" large form factor (LFF) disks—is also used as either a controller enclosure or expansion enclosure.

Supported expansion enclosures are used for adding storage. The E1012 12-drive enclosure is the LFF drive enclosure used for storage expansion. The E1024 24-drive enclosure is the SFF drive enclosures used for storage expansion (also see Table 4 on page 24).

Enclosures support single or dual I/O modules (IOMs), and can be equipped with either two redundant AC or two redundant DC power supply modules (see Controller enclosure — rear panel layout

NOTE: The term IOM can refer to either a RAID canister or an expansion canister.

S3200/S2200 enclosures support LFF/SFF Midline SAS, LFF/SFF Enterprise SAS, and SFF SSD disks. They also support LFF/SFF Midline SAS and LFF/SFF Enterprise self-encrypting disks that work with the Full Disk Encryption (FDE) feature. For information about creating disk groups and adding spares using different disk drive types, see the Lenovo Storage Manager Guide or online help. For S3200 enclosures, also see

FDE considerations on page 21.

Controller enclosure — rear panel layout

The diagram and table below display and identify important component items that comprise the rear panel layout of a Lenovo Storage S3200/S2200 controller enclosure. Dual 4-port CNC controllers are shown in this representative example of controller enclosure models included in the product series. The rear panel layout applies to the 2U24 and 2U12 form factors.

1 AC power supplies

3 Controller module B (see face plate detail figures)

2 Controller module A (see face plate detail figures)

Figure 3 S3200/S2200 controller enclosure: rear panel

A controller enclosure accommodates two redundant AC power supply CRUs (see two instances of callout No.1 above). The controller enclosure accommodates up to two controller module CRUs of the same type within the IOM slots (see callouts No.2 and No.3 above).

IMPORTANT: If the S3200/S2200 controller enclosure is configured with a single controller module, the controller module must be installed in the upper slot (see callout No.2 above), and an I/O module blank must be installed in the lower slot (see callout No.3 above). This configuration is required to allow sufficient air flow through the enclosure during operation.

The diagrams with tables that immediately follow provide descriptions for the different controller modules and power supply modules that can be installed into the rear panel of an S3200/S2200 controller enclosure. Showing controller modules and power supply modules separately from the enclosure enables improved clarity in identifying the component items called out in the diagrams and described in the tables.

Descriptions are also provided for optional drive enclosures supported by S3200/S2200 controller enclosures for expanding storage capacity.

NOTE: S3200/S2200 enclosures support hot-plug replacement of redundant controller modules, fans, power supplies, and expansion modules. Hot-add replacement of drive enclosures is also supported.

Component installation and replacement

Installation and replacement of S3200/S2200 CRUs (customer-replaceable units) is addressed in the Lenovo Storage CRU Installation and Replacement Guide within the “Procedures” chapter.

CRU procedures facilitate replacement of a damaged chassis or chassis component:

• Replacing a controller or expansion module

• Replacing a disk drive module

• Replacing a Fibre Channel transceiver

• Replacing a 10GbE SFP+ transceiver

• Replacing a 1 Gb SFP transceiver

• Replacing a controller enclosure chassis

Cache

For additional information, contact support.lenovo.com

, select Product Support, and navigate to Storage

Products.

To enable faster data access from disk storage, the following types of caching are performed:

• Write-back or write-through caching. The controller writes user data into the cache memory in the

controller module rather than directly to the disks. Later, when the storage system is either idle or aging —and continuing to receive new I/O data—the controller writes the data to the disks.

• Read-ahead caching. The controller detects sequential data access, reads ahead into the next

sequence of data—based upon settings—and stores the data in the read-ahead cache. Then, if the next read access is for cached data, the controller immediately loads the data into the system memory, avoiding the latency of a disk access.

TIP: See the Storage Management Guide for more information about cache options and settings.

CompactFlash

Do not remove

Used for cache recovery only

Controller module pictorial

CompactFlash memory card

(Midplane-facing rear view)

During a power loss or controller failure, data stored in cache is saved off to non-volatile memory (CompactFlash). The data is restored to cache, and then written to disk after the issue is corrected. To protect against writing incomplete data to disk, the image stored on the CompactFlash is verified before committing to disk.

The CompactFlash memory card is located at the midplane-facing end of the controller module as shown below. Do not remove the card; it is used for cache recovery only.

For additional information, contact support.lenovo.com

Products.

NOTE: In dual-controller configurations featuring one healthy partner controller, cache is duplicated

between the controllers (subject to volume write optimization setting).

Supercapacitor pack

To protect controller module cache in case of power failure, each controller enclosure model is equipped with supercapacitor technology, in conjunction with CompactFlash memory, built into each controller module to provide extended cache memory backup time. The supercapacitor pack provides energy for backing up unwritten data in the write cache to the CompactFlash, in the event of a power failure. Unwritten data in CompactFlash memory is automatically committed to disk media when power is restored. In the event of power failure, while cache is maintained by the supercapacitor pack, the Cache Status LED flashes at a rate of 1/10 second on and 9/10 second off.

help for additional information.

NOTE: Additional installation notes:

• Controller modules within the same enclosure must be of the same type.

• For optimal performance, do not mix 6 Gb and 3 Gb disk drives within the same enclosure.

FDE considerations

The Full Disk Encryption feature available via the management interfaces requires use of self-encrypting drives (SED) which are also referred to as FDE-capable disk drive modules. When installing FDE-capable disk drive modules, follow the same procedures for installing disks that do not support FDE. The exception occurs when you move FDE-capable disk drive modules for one or more disk groups to a different system, which requires additional steps.

Lenovo Storage S3200/S2200 Setup Guide 21

Page 22

The procedures for using the FDE feature, such as securing the system, viewing disk FDE status, and clearing and importing keys are performed using the web-based SMC application or CLI commands (see the Storage Manager Guide or the CLI Reference Guide for more information).

NOTE: When moving FDE-capable disk drive modules for a disk group, stop I/O to any disk groups before removing the disk drive modules. Follow the “Removing a disk drive module” and “Installing a disk drive module” procedures within the CRU Installation and Replacement Guide. Import the keys for the disks so that the disk content becomes available.

While replacing or installing FDE-capable disk drive modules, consider the following:

• If you are installing FDE-capable disk drive modules that do not have keys into a secure system, the

system will automatically secure the disks after installation. Your system will associate its existing key with the disks, and you can transparently use the newly-secured disks.

• If the FDE-capable disk drive modules originate from another secure system, and contain that system’s

key, the new disks will have the Secure, Locked status. The data will be unavailable until you enter the passphrase for the other system to import its key. Your system will then recognize the metadata of the disk groups and incorporate it. The disks will have the status of Secure, Unlocked and their contents will be available:

• To view the FDE status of disks, use the SMC or the show fde-state CLI command.

• To import a key and incorporate the foreign disks, use the SMC or the set fde-import-key CLI command.

NOTE: If the FDE-capable disks contain multiple keys, you will need to perform the key importing process for each key to make the content associated with each key become available.

• If you do not want to retain the disks’ data, you can repurpose the disks. Repurposing disks deletes all

disk data, including lock keys, and associates the current system’s lock key with the disks. To repurpose disks, use the SMC or the

• You need not secure your system to use FDE-capable disks. If you install all FDE-capable disks into a

system that is not secure, they will function exactly like disks that do not support FDE. As such, the data they contain will not be encrypted. If you decide later that you want to secure the system, all of the disks must be FDE-capable.

• If you install a disk module that does not support FDE into a secure system, the disk will have the

Unusable status and will be unavailable for use.

• If you are re-installing your FDE-capable disk drive modules as part of the process to replace the

chassis-and-midplane CRU, you must insert the original disks and re-enter their FDE passprhase (see the CRU Installation and Replacement Guide for more information).

set disk CLI command.

Connecting the controller enclosure and drive enclosures

Lenovo Storage S3200/S2200 controller enclosures support these maximum configurations:

• S3200 enclosures—available in 24-drive (2.5") or 12-drive (3.5") chassis—support up to eight

enclosures (including the controller enclosure), or a maximum of 192 disk drives.

• S2200 enclosures—available in 24-drive (2.5") or 12-drive (3.5") chassis—support up to four

enclosures (including the controller enclosure), or a maximum of 96 disk drives.

The S3200/S2200 enclosures support both straight-through and reverse SAS cabling. Reverse cabling allows any drive enclosure to fail—or be removed—while maintaining access to other enclosures. Fault tolerance and performance requirements determine whether to optimize the configuration for high availability or high performance when cabling. The S3200/S2200 controller modules support both 3-Gbps and 6-Gbps internal disk drive speeds together with 3-Gbps and 6-Gbps expander link speeds.

22 Installing the enclosures

Page 23

CAUTION: Some 6-Gbps disks might not consistently support a 6-Gbps transfer rate. If this happens, the system automatically adjusts transfers to those disks to 3 Gbps, increasing reliability and reducing error messages with little impact on system performance. This rate adjustment persists until the controller is restarted or power-cycled.

The S3200/S2200 controller enclosures support compatible Lenovo drive enclosures for adding storage. Supported enclosure form factors include traditional 2U models (2U12 and 2U24). A summary overview of drive enclosures supported by controller enclosures is provided herein.

Cabling diagrams in this section show fault-tolerant cabling patterns. Controller and expansion modules are identified by <enclosure-ID><controller-ID>. When connecting multiple drive enclosures, use reverse cabling to ensure the highest level of fault tolerance, enabling controllers to access remaining drive enclosures if a drive enclosure fails.

For example, the illustration on the left in Figure 13 on page 26 shows reverse cabling, wherein controller 0A (i.e., enclosure-ID = 0; controller-ID = Able) is connected to expansion module 1A, with a chain of connections cascading down (blue). Controller 0B is connected to the lower expansion module (B) of the last drive enclosure in the chain, with connections moving in the opposite direction (green). Cabling examples are provided on the following pages.

Connecting the S3200/S2200 controller to the 2U12 drive enclosure

The LFF E1012 12-drive enclosure, supporting 6 Gb internal disk drive and expander link speeds, can be attached to a S3200/S2200 controller enclosure using supported mini-SAS to mini-SAS cables of 0.5 m (1.64') to 2 m (6.56') length (see Figure 12 on page 25).

Connecting the S3200/S2200 controller to the 2U24 drive enclosure

The SFF E1024 24-drive enclosure, supporting 6 Gb internal disk drive and expander link speeds, can be attached to a S3200/S2200 controller enclosure using supported mini-SAS to mini-SAS cables of 0.5 m (1.64') to 2 m (6.56') length (see Figure 12 on page 25).

Connecting the S3200/S2200 controller to mixed model drive enclosures

The S3200/S2200 controllers support cabling of 6 Gb SAS link-rate SFF and LFF expansion modules—in mixed model fashion—as shown in Figure 13 on page 26. The simplified rear-panel views of the E1024 and E1012 are identical.

Cable requirements for storage enclosures

The S3200/S2200 enclosures support 6-Gbps or 3-Gbps expansion port data rates. Use only Lenovo Storage or OEM-qualified cables, and observe the following guidelines (see Table 4 on page 24):

• When installing SAS cables to expansion modules, use only supported mini-SAS x4 cables with

SFF-8088 connectors supporting your 6 Gb application.

• Qualified mini-SAS to mini-SAS 0.5 m (1.64') cables are used to connect cascaded enclosures in the

rack. The “mini-SAS to mini-SAS” cable designator connotes SFF-8088 to SFF-8088 connectors.

• The maximum expansion cable length allowed in any configuration is 2 m (6.56').

• Cables required, if not included, must be separately purchased.

• When adding more than two drive enclosures, you may need to purchase additional cables,

depending upon number of enclosures and cabling method used.

• You may need to order additional or longer cables when reverse-cabling a fault-tolerant configuration

(see Figure 14 on page 27).

• Use only Lenovo Storage or OEM-qualified cables for host connection:

• Qualified Fibre Channel SFP and cable options

• Qualified 10GbE iSCSI SFP and cable options

• Qualified 1 Gb RJ-45 SFP and cable options

Lenovo Storage S3200/S2200 Setup Guide 23

Page 24

• Qualified HD mini-SAS cable and fan-out cable options supporting SFF-8644 and SFF-8088 host connection (also see HD mini-SAS host connection on page 33):

• A qualified SFF-8466 to SFF-8466 cable option is used for connecting to a 12 Gbit/s enabled

host.

• A qualified SFF-8644 to SFF-8088 cable option is used for connecting to a 6 Gbit/s enabled

host.

• A qualified bifurcated SFF-8644 to SFF-8644 fan-out cable option is used for connecting to a 12

Gbit/s enabled host.

NOTE: Using fan-out cables instead of standard cables will double the number of hosts that can be attached to a single system. Use of fan-out cables will halve the maximum bandwidth available to each host, but overall bandwidth available to all hosts is unchanged.

• A qualified bifurcated SFF-8644 to SFF-8088 fan-out cable option is used for connecting to a 6

Gbit/s enabled host (see Note above).

See HD mini-SAS host connection on page 33 and SAS fan-out cable option for more information about bifurcated SAS cables.

TIP: Requirements for cabling S3200/S2200 controller enclosures and supported drive enclosures are summarized in Table 4 on page 24.

Table 4 on page 24 summarizes key characteristics of controller enclosures and compatible drive

(expansion) enclosures relative to cabling, including: the cable type needed for attaching one specific enclosure model to another specific enclosure model; internal disk drive speeds; number of disks of given size (SFF or LFF) supported per enclosure model; and SAS expander data rates.

The following illustrations show both reverse and straight-through cabling examples featuring S3200/S2200 controller enclosures and compatible E1024 (2U24), and E1012 (2U12) drive enclosures. The rear-panel views of the E1024 and E1012 are identical. All storage enclosures use mini-SAS connectors for expansion.

NOTE: The S3200/S2200 controller enclosures and compatible drive enclosures support 6 Gb SFF-8088 mini-SAS connectors for adding storage. See Table 4 for SAS cable requirements.

NOTE: For clarity, the schematic diagrams show only relevant details such as face plate outlines and expansion ports. For detailed illustrations, see Controller enclosure — rear panel layout on page 15. Also see the controller module face plate illustrations that follow the rear panel layout.

Figure 12 Cabling connections between a controller enclosure and one 2U drive enclosure

The figures above show examples of an S3200 or S2200 controller enclosure cabled to a single drive enclosure. Supported drive enclosures are ordered separately.

NOTE: The E1024 and E1012 drive enclosures can be configured with single or dual expansion canisters.

Within Figure 12, the illustration on the left shows cabling of enclosures equipped with a single IOM. The empty IOM slot in each of the enclosures is covered with an IOM blank to ensure sufficient air flow during enclosure operation. The illustration on the right shows cabling of enclosures equipped with dual IOMs. The remaining illustrations in the section feature enclosures equipped with dual IOMs.

IMPORTANT: If the S3200/S2200 controller enclosure is configured with a single controller module, it must be installed in the upper slot, and an I/O module blank must be installed in the lower slot (shown above). This configuration is required to allow sufficient air flow through the enclosure during operation.

Figure 13 Fault-tolerant cabling between a dual-controller enclosure and three 2U drive enclosures

The diagram at left (above) shows reverse cabling of a S3200/S2200 dual-controller enclosure and 2U drive enclosures configured with dual-expansion modules. Controller module 0A is connected to expansion module 1A, with a chain of connections cascading down (blue). Controller module 0B is connected to the lower expansion module (3B), of the last expansion enclosure, with connections moving in the opposite direction (green). Reverse cabling allows any expansion enclosure to fail—or be removed—while maintaining access to other enclosures.

The diagram at right (above) shows the same storage components connected using straight-through cabling. Using this method, if an expansion enclosure fails, the enclosures that follow the failed enclosure in the chain are no longer accessible until the failed enclosure is repaired or replaced.

The 2U drive enclosures shown in Figure 13 can either be of the same type (all E1024s or all E1012s) or they can be a mixture of these models. Given that supported drive enclosure models use 6 Gb SAS link-rate and SAS2.0 expanders, they can be ordered in desired sequence within the array, following the controller enclosure.

Refer to these diagrams when cabling multiple compatible drive enclosures together with the S3200 or S2200 controller enclosure.

IMPORTANT: Guidelines for stacking enclosures in the rack are provided in the rackmount bracket kit installation sheet provided with your product.

Testing enclosure connections

Power cord connect

Power cycling procedures vary according to the type of power supply unit (PSU) provided with the enclosure. Some enclosure models are equipped with PSUs possessing power switches; whereas S3200/S2200 controller enclosures use PSUs that have no power switch.

The following section, Powering on/powering of f, describes power cycling procedures relative to PSUs installed within enclosures. Once the power-on sequence succeeds, the storage system is ready to be connected to hosts as described in Connecting the enclosure to hosts

Powering on/powering off

Before powering on the enclosure for the first time:

• Install all disk drives in the enclosure so the controller can identify and configure them at power-up.

• Connect the cables and power cords to the enclosure as described herein.

NOTE: Newer 2U AC PSUs do not have power switches. Switchless PSUs power on when

connected to a power source, and power off when disconnected.

• Generally, when powering up, make sure to power up the enclosures and associated data host in the

following order:

•Drive enclosures first This ensures that the disks in the drive enclosure have enough time to completely spin up before

being scanned by the controller modules within the controller enclosure. While enclosures power up, their LEDs blink. After the LEDs stop blinking—if no LEDs on the front and

back of the enclosure are amber—the power-on sequence is complete, and no faults have been detected. See LED descriptions

• Controller enclosure next Depending upon the number and type of disks in the system, it may take several minutes for the

system to become ready.

• Data host last (if powered down for maintenance purposes).

on page 56

on page 30.

for descriptions of LED behavior.

AC PSU

TIP: Generally, when powering off, you will reverse the order of steps used for powering on.

Controller and drive enclosures configured with switchless PSUs rely on the power cord for power cycling. Connecting the cord from the PSU power cord connector to the appropriate power source facilitates power on; whereas disconnecting the cord from the power source facilitates power off.

To power on the system:

Power supply module

Rack power source

Power cord facilitates power on/power off

1. Plug the power cord into the power cord connector on the back of the drive enclosure. Plug the other

end of the power cord into the rack power source (see Figure 15 and Figure 16). Wait several seconds to allow the disks to spin up.

Repeat this sequence for each switchless PSU within each drive enclosure.

2. Plug the power cord into the power cord connector on the back of the controller enclosure. Plug the

other end of the power cord into the rack power source (see Figure 15 and Figure 16). Repeat the sequence for the controller enclosure’s other switchless PSU.

Figure 16 AC power cord

To power off the system:

1. Stop all I/O from hosts to the system (see Stopping I/O on page 48).

2. Shut down both controllers using either method described below:

• Use the Storage Management Console to shut down both controllers as described in the online help and Lenovo Storage Manager Guide.

Proceed to step 3.

• Use the command-line interface (CLI) to shut down both controllers, as described in the Lenovo

Storage CLI Reference Guide.

3. Disconnect the power cord’s male plug from the power source.

4. Disconnect the power cord’s female plug from the power cord connector on the PSU.

3 Connecting hosts

Host system requirements

Hosts connected to a Lenovo Storage S3200/S2200 controller enclosure must meet the following requirements:

• Depending on your system configuration, host operating systems may require that multipathing is

supported. If fault tolerance is required, then multipathing software may be required. Host-based multipath

software should be used in any configuration where two logical paths between the host and any storage volume may exist at the same time. This would include most configurations where there are multiple connections to the host or multiple connections between a switch and the storage.

• Use native Microsoft MPIO DSM support with Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2012. Use either the Server Manager or the command-line interface (mpclaim CLI tool) to perform the installation.

See the following web sites for information about using native Microsoft MPIO DSM:

http://support.microsoft.com http://technet.microsoft.com (search the site for “multipath I/O overview”)

Cabling considerations

Common cabling configurations address hosts, controller enclosures, drive enclosures, and switches. Host interface ports on S3200/S2200 controller enclosures can connect to respective hosts via direct cable connection or switch attach.

Connecting the enclosure to hosts

A host identifies an external port to which the storage system is attached. The external port may be a port in an I/O adapter (such as an FC HBA) in a server. Cable connections vary depending on configuration. This section describes host interface protocols supported by S3200/S2200 controller enclosures, while showing a few common cabling configurations.

NOTE: S3200/S2200 controllers use Unified LUN Presentation (ULP): a controller feature enabling a host to access mapped volumes through any controller host port.

ULP can show all LUNs through all host ports on both controllers, and the interconnect information is managed by the controller firmware. ULP appears to the host as an active-active storage system, allowing the host to select any available path to access the LUN, regardless of disk group ownership.

TIP: See “Using the Configuration Wizard” in the Storage Manager Guide to initially configure the system or change system configuration settings (such as Configuring host ports).

CNC technology

Certain Lenovo Storage S3200/S2200 models use Converged Network Controller technology, allowing you to select the desired host interface protocol(s) from the available FC or iSCSI host interface protocols supported by the system. The small form-factor pluggable (SFP transceiver or SFP) connectors used in CNC ports are further described in the subsections below. Also see CNC ports used for host connection on page 10 for more information concerning use of CNC ports.

30 Connecting hosts

Page 31

NOTE: Controller modules are not shipped with pre-installed SFPs. Within your product kit, you will need to locate the qualified SFP options, and install them into the CNC ports. See Install an SFP transceiver on page 80.

IMPORTANT: Use the set host-port-mode CLI command to set the host interface protocol for CNC ports using qualified SFP options. S3200/S2200 models ship with CNC ports configured for FC. When connecting CNC ports to iSCSI hosts, you must use the CLI (not the SMC) to specify which ports will use iSCSI. It is best to do this before inserting the iSCSI SFPs into the CNC ports (see Change the CNC port

mode on page 44 for instructions).

Fibre Channel protocol

S3200/S2200 FC controller enclosures support one or two controller modules using the Fibre Channel interface protocol for host connection. The S3200 FC controller module provides four host ports, and the S2200 FC controller module provides two host ports. The CNC ports are designed for use with an FC SFP supporting data rates up to 16 Gbit/s.

The controllers support Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (public or private) or point-to-point topologies. Loop protocol can be used in a physical loop or for direct connection between two devices. Point-to-point protocol is used to connect to a fabric switch. Point-to-point protocol can also be used for direct connection, and it is the only option supporting direct connection at 16 Gbit/s. See the set host-parameters command within the CLI Reference Guide for command syntax and details about parameter settings relative to supported link speeds. Fibre Channel ports are used for attachment to FC hosts directly, or through a switch used for the FC traffic. The host computer must support FC and optionally, multipath I/O.

TIP: Use the SMC Configuration Wizard to set FC port speed. Within the Storage Manager Guide, see “Configuring host ports.” Use the set host-parameters CLI command to set FC port options, and use the show ports CLI command to view information about host ports.

10G b E iSCSI prot ocol

S3200/S2200 10GbE iSCSI controller enclosures support one or two controller modules using the Internet SCSI interface protocol for host connection. The S3200 10GbE iSCSI controller module provides four host ports, and the S2200 10GbE iSCSI controller module provides two host ports. The CNC ports are designed for use with a 10GbE iSCSI SFP supporting data rates up to 10 Gbit/s, using either one-way or mutual CHAP (Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol). The 10GbE iSCSI ports are used for attachment to 10GbE iSCSI hosts directly, or through a switch used for the 10GbE iSCSI traffic. The host computer must support Ethernet, iSCSI, and optionally, multipath I/O.

TIP: See the “Configuring CHAP” topic in the Storage Management Guide.

TIP: Use the SMC Configuration Wizard to set iSCSI port options. Within the Storage Manager Guide,

see “Configuring host ports.” Use the set host-parameters CLI command to set iSCSI port options, and use the show ports CLI command to view information about host ports.

1 Gb iSCSI protocol

S3200/S2200 1 Gb iSCSI controller enclosures support one or two controller modules using the Internet SCSI interface protocol for host port connection. The S3200 1 Gb iSCSI controller module provides four host ports, and the S2200 1 Gb iSCSI controller module provides two host ports. The CNC ports are designed for use with an RJ-45 SFP supporting data rates up to 1 Gbit/s, using either one-way or mutual CHAP (Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol). The 1 Gb iSCSI ports are used for attachment to 1

Lenovo Storage S3200/S2200 Setup Guide 31

Page 32

Gb iSCSI hosts directly, or through a switch used for the 1 Gb iSCSI traffic. The host computer must support Ethernet, iSCSI, and optionally, multipath I/O.

TIP: See the “Configuring CHAP” topic in the Storage Management Guide.

TIP: Use the SMC Configuration Wizard to set iSCSI port options. Within the Storage Manager Guide,

see “Configuring host ports.” Use the set host-parameters CLI command to set iSCSI port options, and use the show ports CLI command to view information about host ports.

HD mini-SAS technology

S3200/S2200 SAS models use mini-SAS SFF-8644 interface protocol for host connection.

12 Gb mini-SAS ports

S3200/S2200 12 Gb SAS controller enclosures support one or two controller modules. The S3200 SAS controller module provides four SFF-8644 HD mini-SAS host ports, and the S2200 SAS controller module provides two SFF-8644 HD mini-SAS host ports. These host ports support data rates up to 12 Gbit/s. HD mini-SAS host ports are used for attachment to SAS hosts directly, or via a switch. The host computer must support SAS, and optionally, multipath I/O. Use a qualified SFF-8644 to SFF-8644 cable option when connecting to a 12 Gbit/s host. Use a qualified SFF-8644 to SFF-8088 option when connecting to a supported 6 Gbit/s host.

S3200 host ports support standard cables; whereas S2200 host ports can be configured via management interfaces to use standard cables (see SAS cables with single connector at each end on page 33) or fan-out cables (see SAS cables with fan-out connectors on page 33).

Connecting direct attach configurations

S3200 controller enclosures support up to eight direct-connect server connections, four per controller module. S2200 controller enclosures support up to four direct-connect server connections, two per controller module. Server connections are non-redundant. Connect appropriate cables from the server’s HBAs to the controller module’s host ports as described below, and shown in the following illustrations.

Fibre Channel host connection

To connect S3200/S2200 FC controller modules supporting (4/8/16 Gb) FC host interface ports to a server HBA or switch—using the controller’s CNC ports—select a qualified FC SFP option.

Qualified options support cable lengths of 1 m (3.28'), 2 m (6.56'), 5 m (16.40'), 15 m (49.21'), 30 m (98.43'), and 50 m (164.04') for OM4 multimode optical cables and OM3 multimode FC cables, respectively. A 0.5 m (1.64') cable length is also supported for OM3.

10GbE iSCSI host connection

To connect S3200/S2200 10GbE iSCSI controller modules supporting 10GbE iSCSI host interface ports to a server HBA or switch—using the controller’s CNC ports—select a qualified 10GbE SFP option.

Qualified options support cable lengths of 1 m (3.28'), 2 m (6.56'), 5 m (16.40'), 15 m (49.21'), 30 m (98.43'), and 50 m (164.04') for OM4 multimode optical cables and OM3 multimode cables, respectively. A 0.5 m (1.64') cable length is also supported for OM3.

1 Gb iSCSI host connection

To connect S3200/S2200 1 Gb iSCSI controller modules supporting 1Gb iSCSI host interface ports to a server HBA or switch—using the controller’s CNC ports—select a qualified 1 Gb RJ-45 copper SFP option supporting (CAT5-E minimum) Ethernet cables of the same lengths specified for 10GbE iSCSI above.

32 Connecting hosts

Page 33

HD mini-SAS host connection

To connect S3200/S2200 SAS controller modules supporting SAS host interface ports to a server HBA or switch —using the controller’s SFF-8644 dual HD mini-SAS host ports—select a qualified HD mini-SAS cable option.

S3200 host ports support standard cables. For S2200 host ports, management interfaces distinguish between standard (dual cable with single connector at each end), and fan-out SAS cables. The fan-out SAS cable is comprised of a single SFF-8644 connector that branches into two cable segments, each of which is terminated by a connector. The terminating connectors attach to the host or switch, and are either both type SFF-8644 or SFF-8088. The storage system must be cabled using either standard cables or fan-out cables: a mixture of cable types is not supported. Qualified cable options for each of these SAS cable categories are described herein.

SAS cables with single connector at each end

A qualified SFF-8644 to SFF-8644 cable option is used for connecting to a 12 Gbit/s enabled host; whereas a qualified SFF-8644 to SFF-8088 cable option is used for connecting to a 6 Gbit/s host. Qualified SFF-8644 to SFF-8644 options support cable lengths of 0.5 m (1.64'), 1 m (3.28'), 2 m (6.56'), and 4 m (13.12'). Qualified SFF-8644 to SFF-8088 options support cable lengths of 1 m (3.28'), 2 m (6.56'), 3 m (9.84'), and 4 m (13.12').

SAS cables with fan-out connectors

Use of a bifurcated fan-out cable doubles the number of server host ports that can be connected to an HD mini-SAS controller module. A qualified SFF-8644 to SFF-8644 fan-out cable option is used for attaching to a 12 Gbit/s enabled host; whereas a qualified SFF-8644 to SFF-8088 fan-out cable option is used for attaching to a 6 Gbit/s host. Qualified fan-out cable options support lengths of 1 m (3.28'), 2 m (6.56'), and 4 m (13.12').

IMPORTANT: Before attaching a fan-out cable, make sure to update firmware for the SAS HBA—and switch if applicable—for devices that will be attached to the fan-out cable.

See the Storage Manager Guide or CLI Reference Guide for more information about the fan-out setting and changing of host-interface settings for controller modules.

NOTE: Supported qualified cable options for host connection are subject to change.

NOTE: The diagrams that follow use a single representation for each CNC cabling example. This is due

to the fact that the CNC port locations and labeling are identical for each of the three possible interchangeable SFPs supported by the system.

Within each cabling connection category, the HD mini-SAS model is shown beneath the CNC model.

Single-controller configurations

A single-controller configuration provides no redundancy in the event of controller failure. If the controller fails, the host loses access to the storage data. This configuration is suitable only in environments where high availability is not required, and loss of access to data can be tolerated until failure recovery actions are completed.

Dual-controller configurations

A dual-controller configuration improves application availability because in the event of a controller failure, the affected controller fails over to the partner controller with little interruption to data flow. A failed controller can be replaced without the need to shut down the storage system.

In a dual-controller system, hosts use LUN-identifying information from both controllers to determine that up to four paths are available to a given storage volume. Assuming MPIO software is installed, a host can use any available data path to access a volume owned by either controller. The path providing the best performance is through host ports on the volume’s owning controller. Both controllers share one set of 1,024 LUNs (0-1,023) for use in mapping volumes to hosts (see “ULP” in the Storage Manager Guide).

The illustrations below show dual-controller configurations for S3200/S2200 controller enclosures equipped with either CNC ports or 12 Gb HD mini-SAS host ports.

A switch attach solution—or SAN—places a switch between the servers and the controller enclosures. Using switches, a SAN shares a storage system among multiple servers, reducing the number of storage systems required for a particular environment. Using switches increases the number of servers that can be connected to the storage system. A S3200/S2200 controller enclosure supports 64 hosts.

S3200/S2200 controller enclosure iSCSI considerations

When installing an S3200/S2200 iSCSI controller enclosure, use at least three ports per server—two for the storage LAN, and one or more for the public LAN(s)—to ensure that the storage network is isolated from the other networks. The storage LAN is the network connecting the servers—via switch attach—to the controller enclosure (see Figure 27 on page 38 and Figure 29).

NOTE: These considerations apply to iSCSI and combination FC-and-iSCSI controller solutions only.

IP address scheme for the controller pair — two iSCSI ports per controller

The S3200 can use port 2 of each controller as one failover pair, and port 3 of each controller as a second failover pair for iSCSI traffic. Port 2 of each controller must be in the same subnet, and port 3 of each controller must be in second subnet. See Controller enclosure — rear panel layout on page 15 for iSCSI port numbering.

For example (with a netmask of 255.255.255.0):

• C on tro ll er A p or t 2: 10 .10 .10 .10 0

• Controller A port 3: 10.11.10.120

• C on tro ll er B p or t 2: 10 .10 .10 .110

• C on tro ll er B p or t 3 : 10 .11.10.130

The S3200/S2200 can use port 0 of each controller as one failover pair, and port 1 of each controller as a second failover pair. Port 0 of each controller must be in the same subnet, and port 1 of each controller must be in second subnet. See for iSCSI port numbering.

For example (with a netmask of 255.255.255.0):

• Controller A port 0: 10.10.10.100

• C on tro ll er A p or t 1: 10 .11.10.12 0

• Controller B port 0: 10.10.10.110

• C on tr o ll er B p or t 1: 10 .11.10 .13 0

Lenovo Storage S3200/S2200 Setup Guide 39

Page 40

IP address scheme for the controller pair — four iSCSI ports per controller

When all CNC ports are configured for iSCSI, the scheme is similar to the one described for two-ports above. See Controller enclosure — rear panel layout on page 15 for iSCSI port numbering.

For example (with a netmask of 255.255.255.0):

• Controller A port 0: 10.10.10.100

• C on tro ll er A p or t 1: 10 .11.10.12 0

• C on tro ll er A p or t 2: 10 .10 .10 .110

• Controller A port 3: 10.11.10.130

• Controller B port 0: 10.10.10.140

• C on tr o ll er B p or t 1: 10 .11.10 .15 0

• Controller B port 2: 10.10.10.160

• C on tro ll er B p or t 3 : 10 .11.10.170

In addition to setting the port-specific options described above, you can view settings using the GUI.

If using the SMC, in the System topic, select Action > Set Up Host Ports.

The Host Ports Settings panel opens, allowing you to access host connection settings.

Connecting a management host on the network

The management host directly manages storage systems out-of-band over an Ethernet network.

1. Connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the network port on each controller.

Obtaining IP values

You can configure addressing parameters for each controller module’s network port. You can set static IP values or use DHCP. DHCP is enabled by default on S3200/S2200 systems.

TIP: See the “Configuring network ports” topic in the Storage Manager Guide.

Setting network port IP addresses using DHCP

In DHCP mode, network port IP address, subnet mask, and gateway values are obtained from a DHCP server if one is available. If a DHCP server is unavailable, current addressing is unchanged. You must have some means of determining what addresses have been assigned, such as the list of bindings on the DHCP server.

Setting network port IP addresses using the CLI port and cable

If you did not use DHCP to set network port IP values, set them manually as described below. If you are using the USB CLI port and cable, you will need to enable the port for communication (also see Using the

CLI port and cable—known issues on Windows on page 79).

Network ports on controller module A and controller module B are configured with the following default values:

• Network port IP address: 10.0.0.2 (controller A), 10.0.0.3 (controller B)

•IP subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

• Gateway IP address: 10.0.0.1

If the default IP addresses are not compatible with your network, you must set an IP address for each network port using the CLI embedded in each controller module. The CLI enables you to access the system using the USB (Universal Serial Bus) communication interface and terminal emulation software.

NOTE: If you are using the mini USB CLI port and cable, see Appendix D - USB device connection:

• Windows customers should download and install the device driver as described in Obtaining the

software download on page 78.

• Linux customers should prepare the USB port as described in Setting parameters for the device driver on

page 79.

Use the CLI commands described in the steps below to set the IP address for the network port on each controller module.

Once new IP addresses are set, you can change them as needed using the SMC. Be sure to change the IP address before changing the network configuration. See Accessing the SMC on page 45 for more information concerning the web-based storage management application.

1. From your network administrator, obtain an IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address for

controller A and another for controller B. Record these IP addresses so you can specify them whenever you manage the controllers using the

SMC or the CLI.

2. Use the provided USB cable to connect controller A to a USB port on a host computer. The USB mini 5

male connector plugs into the CLI port as shown in Figure 30 on page 42 (generic S3200 controller module shown).

• Linux customers should enter the command syntax provided in Setting parameters for the device

driver on page 79.

• Windows customers should locate the downloaded device driver described in Obtaining the

software download on page 78, and follow the instructions provided for proper installation.

4. Start and configure a terminal emulator, such as HyperTerminal or VT-100, using the display settings in

Table 5 and the connection settings in Table 6 (also, see the note following this procedure).

7. At the prompt, enter the following command to set the values you obtained in step 1 for each Network

port, first for controller A, and then for controller B:

set network-parameters ip address netmask netmask gateway gateway controller a|b

where:

• address is the IP address of the controller

• netmask is the subnet mask

• gateway is the IP address of the subnet router

• a|b specifies the controller whose network parameters you are setting For example:

# set network-parameters ip 192.168.0.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway

192.168.0.1 controller a

# set network-parameters ip 192.168.0.11 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway

192.168.0.1 controller b

8. Enter the following command to verify the new IP addresses:

show network-parameters

Network parameters, including the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address are displayed for each controller.

9. Use the ping command to verify connectivity to the gateway address.

For example:

# ping 192.168.0.1 Info: Pinging 192.168.0.1 with 4 packets. Success: Command completed successfully. - The remote computer responded

with 4 packets.(2011-12-19 10:20:37)

10. In the host computer's command window, type the following command to verify connectivity, first for

controller A and then for controller B:

ping controller-IP-address

If you cannot access your system for at least three minutes after changing the IP address, you might need to restart the Management Controller(s) using the serial CLI.

When you restart a Management Controller, communication with it is temporarily lost until it successfully restarts.

Enter the following command to restart the Management Controller in both controllers:

restart mc both

IMPORTANT: When configuring an iSCSI system or a system using a combination of FC and iSCSI SFPs, do not restart the Management Controller or exit the terminal emulator session until configuring the CNC ports as described in Change the CNC port mode on page 44.

11 . When you are done using the CLI, exit the emulator. 12 . Retain the IP addresses (recorded in step 1) for accessing and managing the controllers using the SMC

or the CLI.

NOTE: Using HyperTerminal with the CLI on a Microsoft Windows host:

On a host computer connected to a controller module’s mini-USB CLI port, incorrect command syntax in a HyperTerminal session can cause the CLI to hang. To avoid this problem, use correct syntax, use a different terminal emulator, or connect to the CLI using telnet rather than the mini-USB cable.

Be sure to close the HyperTerminal session before shutting down the controller or restarting its Management Controller. Otherwise, the host’s CPU cycles may rise unacceptably.

Lenovo Storage S3200/S2200 Setup Guide 43

Page 44

If communication with the CLI is disrupted when using an out-of-band cable connection, communication can sometimes be restored by disconnecting and reattaching the mini-USB CLI cable as described in step 2 and Figure 30 on page 42.

Change the CNC port mode

This subsection applies to S3200/S2200 CNC models only. While the USB cable is still connected and the terminal emulator session remains active, perform the following steps to change the CNC port mode from the default setting (FC), to either iSCSI or FC-and-iSCSI used in combination.

When using FC SFPs and iSCSI SFPs in combination (applies to S3200 only), host ports 0 and 1 are set to FC (either both 16 Gbits/s or both 8 Gbit/s), and host ports 2 and 3 must be set to iSCSI (either both 10GbE or both 1 Gbit/s).

Set CNC port mode to iSCSI

To set the CNC port mode for use with iSCSI SFPs, run the following command at the command prompt:

set host-port-mode iSCSI

The command notifies you that it will change host port configuration, stop I/O, and restart both controllers. When asked if you want to continue, enter y to change the host port mode to use iSCSI SFPs.

Once the set host-port-mode command completes, it will notify you that the specified system host port mode was set, and that the command completed successfully.

Continue with step 11 of Setting network port IP addresses using the CLI port and cable on page 41.

Set CNC port mode to FC and iSCSI

To set the CNC port mode for use with FC SFPs and iSCSI SFPs in combination (applies to S3200 only), run the following command at the command prompt:

set host-port-mode FC-and-iSCSI

Once the set host-port-mode command completes, it will notify you that the specified system host port mode was set, and that the command completed successfully.

Continue with step 11 of Setting network port IP addresses using the CLI port and cable on page 41.

Configure the system

NOTE:

• After using either of the CLI command sequences shown above, you may see events stating that the

SFPs installed are not compatible with the protocol set for the host ports. The new host port mode setting will be synchronized with the qualified SFP option once the controller modules restart.

• See Appendix E—SFP option for CNC ports for instructions about locating and installing your qualified

SFP transceivers within the CNC ports.

After changing the CNC port mode, you can invoke the SMC and use the Configuration Wizard to initially configure the system, or change system configuration settings as described in the Storage Manager Guide and Basic operation.

4 Basic operation

Verify that you have successfully completed the sequential “Installation Checklist” instructions in Table 3 on page 21. Once you have successfully completed steps 1 through 8 therein, you can access the management interfaces using your web-browser, to complete the system setup.

Accessing the SMC

Upon completing the hardware installation, you can access the controller module’s web-based management interface (the SMC) to configure, monitor, and manage the storage system. Invoke your web browser, and enter the IP address of the controller module’s network port in the address field (obtained during completion of “Installation Checklist” step 8), then press Enter. To sign-in to the SMC, use the default user name manage and password !manage. If the default user or password—or both—have been changed for security reasons, enter the secure login credentials instead of the defaults shown above. This brief Sign In discussion assumes proper web browser setup.

IMPORTANT: For detailed information on accessing and using the SMC, see the “Getting Started” section in the web-posted Storage Manager Guide.

In addition to summarizing the processes to configure and provision a new system for the first time—using the wizards—the Getting Started section provides instructions for signing in to the SMC, introduces key system concepts, addresses browser setup, and provides tips for using the main window and the help window.

TIP: After signing-in to the SMC, you can use online help as an alternative to consulting the Storage Management Guide.

Configuring and provisioning the storage system

Once you have familiarized yourself with the SMC GUI, use the interface to configure and provision the storage system. Refer to the following topics within the Storage Management Guide or online help:

• Getting started

• Configuring the system

• Provisioning the system

IMPORTANT: If the system is used in a VMware environment, set the system’s Missing LUN Response

option to use its Illegal Request setting. To do so, see either the configuration topic “Changing the missing LUN response” in the Storage Manager Guide or the command topic “set-advanced-settings” in the CLI Reference Guide.

5Troubleshooting

USB CLI port connection

Lenovo Storage S3200/S2200 controllers feature a CLI port employing a mini-USB Type B form factor. If you encounter problems communicating with the port after cabling your computer to the USB device, you may need to either download a device driver (Windows), or set appropriate parameters via an operating system command (Linux). See Appendix D for more information.

Fault isolation methodology

S3200/S2200 storage systems provide many ways to isolate faults. This section presents the basic methodology used to locate faults within a storage system, and to identify the pertinent CRUs (Customer Replaceable Units) affected.

As noted in Basic operation on page 45, use the SMC to configure and provision the system upon completing the hardware installation. As part of this process, configure and enable event notification so the system will notify you when a problem occurs that is at or above the configured severity (see “Using the Configuration Wizard > Configuring event notification” within the Storage Manager Guide). With event notification configured and enabled, you can follow the recommended actions in the notification message to resolve the problem, as further discussed in the options presented below.

Basic steps

The basic fault isolation steps are listed below:

• Gather fault information, including using system LEDs

(see Gather fault information on page 47)

• Determine where in the system the fault is occurring

(see Determine where the fault is occurring on page 47)

• Review event logs

(see Review the event logs on page 47)

• If required, isolate the fault to a data path component or configuration

(see Isolate the fault on page 48)

Options available for performing basic steps

When performing fault isolation and troubleshooting steps, select the option or options that best suit your site environment. Use of any option (four options are described below) is not mutually-exclusive to the use of another option. You can use the SMC to check the health icons/values for the system and its components to ensure that everything is okay, or to drill down to a problem component. If you discover a problem, the SMC and the CLI provide recommended-action text online. Options for performing basic steps are listed according to frequency of use:

• Use the SMC

• Use the CLI

• Monitor event notification

• View the enclosure LEDs

Use the SMC

The SMC uses health icons to show OK, Degraded, Fault, or Unknown status for the system and its components. The SMC enables you to monitor the health of the system and its components. If any component has a problem, the system health will be Degraded, Fault, or Unknown. Use the web application’s GUI to drill down to find each component that has a problem, and follow actions in the component Health Recommendations field to resolve the problem.

46 Troubleshooting

Page 47

Use the CLI

As an alternative to using the SMC, you can run the show system command in the CLI to view the health of the system and its components. If any component has a problem, the system health will be Degraded, Fault, or Unknown, and those components will be listed as Unhealthy Components. Follow the recommended actions in the component Health Recommendation field to resolve the problem.

Monitor event notification

With event notification configured and enabled, you can view event logs to monitor the health of the system and its components. If a message tells you to check whether an event has been logged, or to view information about an event in the log, you can do so using the SMC or the CLI. Using the SMC, you would view the event log and then click on the event message to see detail about that event. Using the CLI, you would run the detail for an event.

show events detail command (with additional parameters to filter the output) to see the

View the enclosure LEDs

You can view the LEDs on the hardware (while referring to LED descriptions for your enclosure model) to identify component status. If a problem prevents access to the SMC or the CLI, this is the only option available. However, monitoring/management is often done at a management console using storage management interfaces, rather than relying on line-of-sight to LEDs of racked hardware components.

Performing basic steps

You can use any of the available options described above in performing the basic steps comprising the fault isolation methodology.

Gather fault information

When a fault occurs, it is important to gather as much information as possible. Doing so will help you determine the correct action needed to remedy the fault.

Begin by reviewing the reported fault:

•

Is the fault related to an internal data path or an external data path?

• Is the fault related to a hardware component such as a disk drive module, controller module, or power

supply unit?

By isolating the fault to one of the components within the storage system, you will be able to determine the necessary corrective action more quickly.

Determine where the fault is occurring

Once you have an understanding of the reported fault, review the enclosure LEDs. The enclosure LEDs are designed to immediately alert users of any system faults, and might be what alerted the user to a fault in the first place.

When a fault occurs, the Fault ID status LED on an enclosure’s right ear illuminates (see the diagram pertaining to your product’s front panel components on page 14). Check the LEDs on the back of the enclosure to narrow the fault to a CRU, connection, or both. The LEDs also help you identify the location of a CRU reporting a fault.

Use the SMC to verify any faults found while viewing the LEDs. The SMC is also a good tool to use in determining where the fault is occurring if the LEDs cannot be viewed due to the location of the system. This web-application provides you with a visual representation of the system and where the fault is occurring. The SMC can also provide more detailed information about CRUs, data, and faults.

Review the event logs

The event logs record all system events. Each event has a numeric code that identifies the type of event that occurred, and has one of the following severities:

• Critical. A failure occurred that may cause a controller to shut down. Correct the problem immediately.

• Error. A failure occurred that may affect data integrity or system stability. Correct the problem as soon

as possible.

Lenovo Storage S3200/S2200 Setup Guide 47

Page 48

• Warning. A problem occurred that may affect system stability, but not data integrity. Evaluate the

problem and correct it if necessary.

• Informational. A configuration or state change occurred, or a problem occurred that the system

corrected. No immediate action is required.

The event logs record all system events. It is very important to review the logs, not only to identify the fault, but also to search for events that might have caused the fault to occur. For example, a host could lose connectivity to a disk group if a user changes channel settings without taking the storage resources assigned to it into consideration. In addition, the type of fault can help you isolate the problem to either hardware or software.

Isolate the fault

Occasionally, it might become necessary to isolate a fault. This is particularly true with data paths, due to the number of components comprising the data path. For example, if a host-side data error occurs, it could be caused by any of the components in the data path: controller module, cable, switch, or data host.

If the enclosure does not initialize

It may take up to two minutes for all enclosures to initialize. If an enclosure does not initialize:

• Perform a rescan

• Power cycle the system

• Make sure the power cord is properly connected, and check the power source to which it is connected

• Check the event log for errors

Correcting enclosure IDs

When installing a system with drive enclosures attached, the enclosure IDs might not agree with the physical cabling order. This is because the controller might have been previously attached to enclosures in a different configuration, and it attempts to preserve the previous enclosure IDs, if possible. To correct this condition, make sure that both controllers are up, and perform a rescan using the SMC or the CLI. This will reorder the enclosures, but can take up to two minutes for the enclosure IDs to be corrected.

To perform a rescan using the CLI, type the following command:

rescan

To rescan using the SMC:

1. Verify that both controllers are operating normally.

2. Do one of the following:

•Point to the System tab and select Rescan Disk Channels.

•In the System topic, select Action > Rescan Disk Channels.

3. Click Rescan.

NOTE: The reordering enclosure IDs action only applies to Dual Controller mode. If only one controller is

available, due to either Single Controller configuration or controller failure, a manual rescan will not reorder the drive enclosure IDs.

Stopping I/O

When troubleshooting disk drive and connectivity faults, stop I/O to the affected disk groups from all hosts as a data protection precaution. As an additional data protection precaution, it is helpful to conduct regularly scheduled backups of your data.

IMPORTANT: Stopping I/O to a disk group is a host-side task, and falls outside the scope of this document.

48 Troubleshooting

Page 49

When on-site, you can verify that there is no I/O activity by briefly monitoring the system LEDs; however, when accessing the storage system remotely, this is not possible. Remotely, you can use the show disk-group-statistics command to determine if input and output has stopped. Perform these steps:

1. Using the CLI, run the show disk-group-statistics command.

The Number of Reads and Number of Writes outputs show the number of these operations that have occurred since the statistic was last reset, or since the controller was restarted. Record the numbers displayed.

2. Run the show disk-group-statistics

This provides you a specific window of time (the interval between requesting the statistics) to determine if data is being written to or read from the disk group. Record the numbers displayed.

3. To determine if any reads or writes occur during this interval, subtract the set of numbers you recorded

in step 1 from the numbers you recorded in step 2.

• If the resulting difference is zero, then I/O has stopped.

• If the resulting difference is not zero, a host is still reading from or writing to this disk group. Continue to stop I/O from hosts, and repeat step 1 and step 2 until the difference in step 3 is zero.

NOTE: See the CLI Reference Guide for additional information. Optionally, you can use the SMC to monitor IOPs and MB/s.

Diagnostic steps

command a second time.

This section describes possible reasons and actions to take when an LED indicates a fault condition during initial system setup. See Appendix A – LED descriptions for descriptions of all LED statuses.

NOTE: Once event notification is configured and enabled using the SMC, you can view event logs to monitor the health of the system and its components using the GUI.

In addition to monitoring LEDs via line-of-sight observation of the racked hardware components when performing diagnostic steps, you can also monitor the health of the system and its components using the management interfaces previously discussed. Bear this in mind when reviewing the Actions column in the following diagnostics tables, and when reviewing the step procedures provided later in this chapter.

Controller failure in a single-controller configuration

Cache memory is flushed to CompactFlash in the case of a controller failure or power loss. During the write to CompactFlash process, only the components needed to write the cache to the CompactFlash are powered by the supercapacitor. This process typically takes 60 seconds per 1 Gbyte of cache. After the cache is copied to CompactFlash, the remaining power left in the supercapacitor is used to refresh the cache memory. While the cache is being maintained by the supercapacitor, the Cache Status LED flashes at a rate of 1/10 second on and 9/10 second off.

See Options available for performing basic steps on page 46 for a description of health status icons and alternatives for monitoring enclosure health.

2. Make sure that all modules are fully seated in their slots and that their latches are locked.

3. Make sure that no slots are left open for more than two minutes.

If you need to replace a module, leave the old module in place until you have the replacement or use a blank module to fill the slot. Leaving a slot open negatively affects the airflow and can cause the enclosure to overheat.

4. Try replacing each power supply one at a time.

5. Replace the controller modules one at a time.

6. Replace SFPs one at a time.

Sensor locations

The storage system monitors conditions at different points within each enclosure to alert you to problems. Power, cooling fan, temperature, and voltage sensors are located at key points in the enclosure. In each controller module and expansion module, the enclosure management processor (EMP) monitors the status of these sensors to perform SCSI enclosure services (SES) functions.

The following sections describe each element and its sensors.

Power supply sensors

Each enclosure has two fully redundant power supplies with load-sharing capabilities. The power supply sensors described in the following table monitor the voltage, current, temperature, and fans in each power supply. If the power supply sensors report a voltage that is under or over the threshold, check the input voltage.

Table 18 Power supply sensor descriptions

Description Event/Fault ID LED condition

Power supply 1 Voltage, current, temperature, or fan fault

Power supply 2 Voltage, current, temperature, or fan fault

Cooling fan sensors

Each power supply includes two fans. The normal range for fan speed is 4,000 to 6,000 RPM. When a fan speed drops below 4,000 RPM, the EMP considers it a failure and posts an alarm in the storage system event log. The following table lists the description, location, and alarm condition for each fan. If the fan speed remains under the 4,000 RPM threshold, the internal enclosure temperature may continue to rise. Replace the power supply reporting the fault.

Table 19 Cooling fan sensor descriptions

Description Location Event/Fault ID LED condition

Fan 1 Power supply 1 < 4,000 RPM

Fan 2 Power supply 1 < 4,000 RPM

Fan 3 Power supply 2 < 4,000 RPM

Fan 4 Power supply 2 < 4,000 RPM

During a shutdown, the cooling fans do not shut off. This allows the enclosure to continue cooling.

Temperature sensors

Extreme high and low temperatures can cause significant damage if they go unnoticed. Each controller module has six temperature sensors. Of these, if the CPU or FPGA (Field-programmable Gate Array) temperature reaches a shutdown value, the controller module is automatically shut down. Each power supply has one temperature sensor.

54 Troubleshooting

Page 55

When a temperature fault is reported, it must be remedied as quickly as possible to avoid system damage. This can be done by warming or cooling the installation location.

A LED descriptions

Front panel LEDs

The S3200/S2200 enclosures support 2U24 and 2U12 enclosures in dual-purpose fashion. The 2U24 chassis—configured with 24 2.5" small form factor (SFF) disks—is used as either a controller enclosure or expansion enclosure. The 2U12 chassis—configured with 12 3.5" large form factor (LFF) disks—is also used as either a controller enclosure or expansion enclosure.

Enclosure bezels

Each S3200/S2200 enclosure is equipped with a removable bezel designed to cover the front panel during enclosure operation. The bezels look very similar, but there are differences between the two models. The bezel fitting the 2U24 chassis provides two embossed pockets used during bezel removal (Figure 31); whereas the bezel fitting the 2U12 chassis provides two debossed pockets, is equipped with an EMI (Electromagnetic Interference shield), and may or may not be equipped with the serviceable dust filtration air filter option (Figure 32).

Figure 31 Front panel enclosure bezel: 24-drive enclosure (2U24)

Figure 32 Front panel enclosure bezel: 12-drive enclosure (2U12)

Enclosure bezel attachment and removal

When you initially attach or remove the front panel enclosure bezel for the first time, refer to the appropriate pictorials for your enclosure(s) from the list below, and follow the instructions provided.

• Front view of 24-drive enclosure (2U24): Figure 31

• Front view of 12-drive enclosure (2U12): Figure 32

• Bezel alignment for 24-drive enclosure (2U24): Figure 33 on page 57

• Bezel alignment for 12-drive enclosure (2U12): Figure 34 on page 57

Enclosure bezel attachment

Orient the enclosure bezel to align its back side with the front face of the enclosure as shown in Figure 33 on page 57 and Figure 34 on page 57. Face the front of the enclosure, and while supporting the base of the bezel, position it such that the mounting sleeves within the integrated ear caps align with the ball studs, and then gently push-fit the bezel onto the ball studs to securely attach the bezel to the front of the enclosure.

Cache Status LED details

If the LED is blinking evenly, a cache flush is in progress. When a controller module loses power and write cache is dirty (contains data that has not been written to disk), the supercapacitor pack provides backup power to flush (copy) data from write cache to CompactFlash memory. When cache flush is complete, the cache transitions into self-refresh mode.

If the LED is blinking momentarily slowly, the cache is in a self-refresh mode. In self-refresh mode, if primary power is restored before the backup power is depleted (3–30 minutes, depending on various factors), the system boots, finds data preserved in cache, and writes it to disk. This means the system can be operational within 30 seconds, and before the typical host I/O time-out of 60 seconds, at which point system failure would cause host-application failure. If primary power is restored after the backup power is depleted, the system boots and restores data to cache from CompactFlash, which can take about 90 seconds. The cache flush and self-refresh mechanism is an important data protection feature; essentially four copies of user data are preserved: one in controller cache and one in CompactFlash of each controller. The Cache Status LED illuminates solid green during the boot-up process. This behavior indicates the cache is logging all POSTs, which will be flushed to the CompactFlash the next time the controller shuts down.

CAUTION: If the Cache Status LED illuminates solid green—and you wish to shut-down the controller—do so from the user interface, so unwritten data can be flushed to CompactFlash.

Power supply LEDs

Power redundancy is achieved through two independent load-sharing power supplies. In the event of a power supply failure, or the failure of the power source, the storage system can operate continuously on a single power supply. Greater redundancy can be achieved by connecting the power supplies to separate circuits. Power supplies are used by controller and drive enclosures.

B Specifications and requirements

Safety requirements

Install the system in accordance with the local safety codes and regulations at the facility site. Follow all cautions and instructions marked on the equipment.

Site requirements and guidelines

The following sections provide requirements and guidelines that you must address when preparing your site for the installation.

When selecting an installation site for the system, choose a location not subject to excessive heat, direct sunlight, dust, or chemical exposure. These conditions greatly reduce the system’s longevity and might void your warranty.

NOTE: Specifications within this section relate to 2U24 and 2U12 enclosures.

Site wiring and AC power requirements

The following are required for all installations using AC power supplies:

Table 25 Power requirements - AC Input

Measurement Rating

Input power requirements 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz

Maximum input power 475 W maximum continuous

Heat dissipation 1,622 BTUs/hour

• All AC mains and supply conductors to power distribution boxes for the rack-mounted system must be

enclosed in a metal conduit or raceway when specified by local, national, or other applicable government codes and regulations.

• Ensure that the voltage and frequency of your power source match the voltage and frequency inscribed

on the equipment’s electrical rating label.

• To ensure redundancy, provide two separate power sources for the enclosures. These power sources

must be independent of each other, and each must be controlled by a separate circuit breaker at the power distribution point.

• The system requires voltages within minimum fluctuation. The customer-supplied facilities’ voltage must

maintain a voltage with not more than suitable surge protection.

• Site wiring must include an earth ground connection to the AC power source. The supply conductors

and power distribution boxes (or equivalent metal enclosure) must be grounded at both ends.

• Power circuits and associated circuit breakers must provide sufficient power and overload protection. To

prevent possible damage to the AC power distribution boxes and other components in the rack, use an external, independent power source that is isolated from large switching loads (such as air conditioning motors, elevator motors, and factory loads).

 5 percent fluctuation. The customer facilities must also provide

Weight and placement guidelines

Refer to Physical requirements on page 73 for detailed size and weight specifications.

• Refer to the rackmount bracket kit installation sheet pertaining to your product for guidelines about

installing enclosures into the rack.

• The weight of an enclosure depends on the number and type of modules installed.

Lenovo Storage S3200/S2200 Setup Guide 71

Page 72

• Ideally, use two people to lift an enclosure. However, one person can safely lift an enclosure if its

weight is reduced by removing the power supply modules and disk drive modules.

• Do not place enclosures in a vertical position. Always install and operate the enclosures in a horizontal

(level) orientation.

• When installing enclosures in a rack, make sure that any surfaces over which you might move the rack

can support the weight. To prevent accidents when moving equipment, especially on sloped loading docks and up ramps to raised floors, ensure you have a sufficient number of helpers. Remove obstacles such as cables and other objects from the floor.

• To prevent the rack from tipping, and to minimize personnel injury in the event of a seismic occurrence,

securely anchor the rack to a wall or other rigid structure that is attached to both the floor and to the ceiling of the room.

Electrical guidelines

• These enclosures work with single-phase power systems having an earth ground connection. To reduce

the risk of electric shock, do not plug an enclosure into any other type of power system. Contact your facilities manager or a qualified electrician if you are not sure what type of power is supplied to your building.

• Enclosures are shipped with a grounding-type (three-wire) power cord. To reduce the risk of electric

shock, always plug the cord into a grounded power outlet.

• Do not use household extension cords with the enclosures. Not all power cords have the same current

ratings. Household extension cords do not have overload protection and are not meant for use with computer systems.

Ventilation requirements

Refer to Environmental requirements on page 74 for detailed environmental requirements.

• Do not block or cover ventilation openings at the front and rear of an enclosure. Never place an

enclosure near a radiator or heating vent. Failure to follow these guidelines can cause overheating and affect the reliability and warranty of your enclosure.

• Leave a minimum of 15.2 cm (6 inches) at the front and back of each enclosure to ensure adequate

airflow for cooling. No cooling clearance is required on the sides, top, or bottom of enclosures.

• Leave enough space in front and in back of an enclosure to allow access to enclosure components for

servicing. Removing a component requires a clearance of at least 38.1 cm (15 inches) in front of and behind the enclosure.

Cabling requirements

• Keep power and interface cables clear of foot traffic. Route cables in locations that protect the cables

from damage.

• Route interface cables away from motors and other sources of magnetic or radio frequency

interference.

• Stay within the cable length limitations.

• Controller and drive enclosures are suitable for connection to intra-building or non-exposed wiring or

cabling only.

• Controller and drive enclosures are suitable for installation in Network Telecommunication Facilities

and locations where the NEC applies. Enclosures are not suitable for Outside Plant (OSP) installations.

Management host requirements

A local management host with at least one mini-USB connection is recommended for the initial installation and configuration of a controller enclosure. After you configure one or both of the controller modules with an IP address, you then use a remote management host on an Ethernet network to manage and monitor.

NOTE: Connections to this device must be made with shielded cables – grounded at both ends – with metallic RFI/EMI connector hoods, in order to maintain compliance with FCC Rules and Regulations.

Electrical requirements

Site wiring and power requirements

Each enclosure requires two power supply modules for redundancy. If full redundancy is required, use a separate power source for each module. The AC power supply unit in each power supply module is auto-ranging and is automatically configured to an input voltage range from 100-240 VAC with an input frequency of 50/60 Hz. The power supply modules meet standard voltage requirements for both U.S. and international operation. The power supply modules use standard industrial wiring with line-to-neutral or line-to-line power connections.

Power cable requirements

Each enclosure requires two power cables designed for use with the enclosure power supply module. Each power cable connects one of the power supply modules to an independent, external power source. To ensure power redundancy, connect the two power cables to two separate circuits; for example, to one commercial circuit and one uninterruptible power source (UPS).

C Electrostatic discharge

Preventing electrostatic discharge

To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions you need to follow when setting up the system or handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the device.

To prevent electrostatic damage:

• Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.

• Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-protected workstations.

• Place parts in a static-protected area before removing them from their containers.

• Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.

• Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.

Grounding methods to prevent electrostatic discharge

Several methods are used for grounding. Use one or more of the following methods when handling or installing electrostatic-sensitive parts:

• Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation or computer chassis. Wrist

straps are flexible straps with a minimum of 1 megohm (± 10 percent) resistance in the ground cords. To provide proper ground, wear the strap snug against the skin.

• Use heel straps, toe straps or boot straps at standing workstations. Wear the straps on both feet when

standing on conductive floors or dissipating floor mats.

• Use conductive field service tools.

• Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating work mat.

If you do not have any of the suggested equipment for proper grounding, have an authorized technician install the part. For more information about static electricity or assistance with product installation, contact

support.lenovo.com

Connect USB cable to CLI port on controller face plate

Rear panel USB ports

S3200/S2200 controllers contain two different USB (universal serial bus) management interfaces: a Host interface and a Device interface. Both interfaces pertain to the Management Controller (MC). The Device interface is accessed via a port on the controller module face plate. The Host interface (USB Type A)—reserved for future use—is accessible from the midplane-facing end of the controller module (see

Figure 11 on page 20), and its discussion is deferred.

This appendix describes the port labeled CLI (USB Type B), which enables direct connection between a management computer and the controller, using the command-line interface and appropriate cable (see

Figure 48).

USB CLI port

NOTE: In the illustration above, the sticker suggesting that you “install the USB driver before using the port” has been removed to show the port.

S3200/S2200 controllers feature a USB CLI port used to cable directly to the controller and initially set IP addresses, or perform other configuration tasks. The USB CLI port employs a mini-USB Type B form factor, and requires a specific cable and additional support, so that a server or other computer running a Linux or Windows operating system can recognize the controller enclosure as a connected device. Without this support, the computer might not recognize that a new device is connected, or might not be able to communicate with it.

For Linux computers, no new driver files are needed, but a Linux configuration file must be created or modified (see Follow the instructions accompanying the device driver topic for Microsoft Windows. on page 78). For Windows computers a special device driver file, CD or web site, and installed on the computer that will be cabled directly to the controller’s CLI port (see

Microsoft Windows on page 78).

Emulated serial port

Once attached to the controller module, the management computer should detect a new USB device. Using the Emulated Serial Port interface, the S3200/S2200 controller presents a single serial port using a customer vendor ID and product ID. Effective presentation of the emulated serial port assumes the management computer previously had terminal emulator installed (see Supported host applications). Serial port configuration is unnecessary.

Figure 48 USB device connection — CLI port

IMPORTANT: Certain operating systems require a device driver or special mode of operation to enable proper functioning of the USB CLI port (see Device driver/special operation mode).

Supported host applications

S3200/S2200 controllers support the following applications to facilitate connection.

Table 30 Supported terminal emulator applications

Application Operating system

HyperTerminal and TeraTerm Microsoft Windows (all versions)

Minicom Linux (all versions)

Command-line Interface

Once the management computer detects connection to the USB-capable device, the Management Controller awaits input of characters from the host computer via the command-line. To see the command-line prompt, you must press Enter. The MC provides direct access to the CLI.

NOTE: Directly cabling to the CLI port is an out-of-band connection, because it communicates outside of the data paths used to transfer information from a computer or network to the controller enclosure.

Microsoft Windows

Microsoft Windows operating systems provide a USB serial port driver. However, the USB driver requires details for connecting to S3200/S2200 controller enclosures. Lenovo provides a device driver for use in the Windows environment. The USB device driver and installation instructions are available via a download.

Obtaining the software download

1. Verify that the management computer has Internet access.

2. See Lenovo’s customer support website: support.lenovo.com a. Select Product Support, and navigate to Storage Products.

Peruse the location for information about the “USB driver.”

b. Follow the instructions accompanying the device driver topic for Microsoft Windows.

Although Linux operating systems do not require installation of a device driver, certain parameters must be provided during driver loading to enable recognition of the S3200/S2200 controller enclosures.

78 USB device connection

Page 79

Setting parameters for the device driver

1. Enter the following command:

modprobe usbserial vendor=0x210c product=0xa4a7 use_acm=1

2. Press Enter to execute the command.

The Linux device driver is loaded with the parameters required to recognize the controllers.

NOTE: Optionally, this information can be incorporated into the /etc/modules.conf file.

Using the CLI port and cable—known issues on Windows

When using the CLI port and cable for setting network port IP addresses, be aware of the following known issues on Microsoft Windows platforms.

Problem

On Windows operating systems, the USB CLI port may encounter issues preventing the terminal emulator from reconnecting to storage after the Management Controller (MC) restarts or the USB cable is unplugged and reconnected.

Workaround

Follow these steps when using the mini-USB cable and USB Type B CLI port to communicate out-of-band between the host and controller module for setting network port IP addresses.

To create a new connection or open an existing connection (HyperTerminal):

1. From the Windows Control Panel, select Device Manager.

2. Connect using the USB COM port and Detect Carrier Loss option. a. Select Connect To > Connect using: > pick a COM port from the list. b. Select the Detect Carrier Loss check box.

The Device Manager page should show “Ports (COM & LPT)” with an entry entitled “Disk Array USB Port (COMn)”—where n is your system’s COM port number.

3. Set network port IP addresses using the CLI (see procedure on page 41).

To restore a hung connection when the MC is restarted (any supported terminal emulator):

1. If the connection hangs, disconnect and quit the terminal emulator program. a. Using Device Manager, locate the COMn port assigned to the Disk Array Port. b. Right-click on the hung Disk Array USB Port (COMn), and select Disable. c. Wait for the port to disable.

2. Right-click on the previously hung—now disabled—Disk Array USB Port (COMn), and select Enable.

3. Start the terminal emulator and connect to the COM port.

4. Set network port IP addresses using the CLI (see procedure on page 41).
