This chapter describes configurations for one or two small computer system interface (SCSI) Sun StorEdge A3500 controller modules connected to one or more hosts. It also contains information about connecting power to a Sun Ultra™ host system.

The topics covered in this chapter are:

■ Configuration Guidelines—page 1-2

■ Supported SCSI Host Configurations—page 1-3

■ Single Host Connected to One Controller Module—page 1-3

■ Two Controller Modules Daisy-Chained to One Host—page 1-4

■ Independent Controller Module Connected to Two Hosts—page 1-5

■ Multi-Host—page 1-6

■ Ultra 2 Host System Power Connection Requirement—page 1-7

Note – The RAID Manager 6.22 software does not support Ultra 2 host systems.

1-1

1.1 Configuration Guidelines

Use the following guidelines to install and cable or reconfigure your StorEdge A3500 system.

■ The part number for the 12 meter SCSI host cable is 530-1886-xx.

■ Do not exceed a SCSI bus length of 25 meters (82 feet).

■ Make sure that the last StorEdge A3500 controller module in any daisy chain has

a total of two terminators—one in each SCSI OUT port.

■ If you are adding a controller module to an already existing configuration, halt all

activity on the SCSI bus before removing any SCSI cables.

■ Once you finish cabling the devices and powering on, reboot the system by

typing boot -r at the ok prompt before beginning any SCSI bus activity.

■ Perform a system check to make sure that SCSI connections are secure. Look for

fault LEDs on the hardware or error messages in the RAID Manager GUI.

Note – Refer to your server and rack documentation for instructions on grounding

the StorEdge A3500 expansion cabinet.

1.3 Ultra 2 Host System Power Connection Requirement

You can connect a controller module to an Ultra 2 host system; however, you must connect the power cord of the Ultra 2 host to one of the AC power sequencers in the expansion cabinet that contains the controller module.

Note – The RAID Manager 6.22 software does not support Ultra 2 host systems.

You need to order one of the following power cords depending on the type of power sequencer in the expansion cabinet (

■ Ultra Enterprise™ expansion cabinet and StorEdge expansion cabinet—

part number 530-2197

■ 1422 mm/56-inch Data Center expansion cabinet—part number 180-1189 (United

States) or 180-1190 NEMA (European)

Caution – Failure to connect the power cord correctly as described here may cause

excessive ground current that could damage the system.

1422 mm/56-inch data center expansioncabinet power sequencer

To connect the power cord:

1. Gain access to the AC power sequencers.

See the documentation that came with the expansion cabinet.

2. Route the power cable from the Ultra 2 host under the expansion cabinet frame on the same side as the power sequencer.

3. Connect the power cord from the Ultra 2 host into the top power connector of either power sequencer (

FIGURE 1-5).

The power connectors are located on the other side of the power sequencer from the main switch.

4. Reassemble the expansion cabinet.

See the documentation that you received with the expansion cabinet.

2.1 Configuration Guidelines

Use the following guidelines to install and cable or reconfigure your StorEdge A3500FC system.

Caution – The onboard SOC+ on the I/O board is not qualified yet to work with

the StorEdge A3500FC controller module.

Caution – At this time, only single port connection is qualified on the dual-ported

host bus adapter card.

■ The part number for the 15 meter FC-AL host cable is 595-3379-xx; the Marketing

part number is X978A.

■ Do not exceed a fiber-optic cable length of 500 meters (1640.5 feet).

■ Install 16-bit, differential terminators to both HOST IN connectors on the back of

the controller module (

Differential SCSI terminators—HOST IN

FIGURE 2-1).

FIGURE 2-1 Differential SCSI Terminators on Rear of Controller Module

2-2 Sun StorEdge A3500/A3500FC Hardware Configuration Guide • December 1999

■ Once you finish cabling the devices and powering on, reboot the system by

typing boot -r at the ok prompt before beginning any SCSI bus activity.

■ Perform a system check to make sure that SCSI and fiber-optic cable connections

are secure. Check for fault LEDs on the hardware or error messages in the RAID Manager GUI.

Note – Refer to your server and rack documentation for instructions on grounding

the StorEdge A3500FC expansion cabinet.

Each controller that is connected to a hub must have a unique loop ID. Whenever you add a second controller to a hub, make sure that the loop ID of the controller being connected is different from the loop ID of any other controller currently connected to the same hub.

Refer to Section 2.3 “Setting the Loop ID” on page 2-13 for instructions on setting the loop ID of a controller.

Caution – Ensure that the controller module IDs are set so that each hub is

connected to A and B controller canisters.

2.3 Setting the Loop ID

This section explains how to set the loop ID of a controller that is connected to a hub.

Tools and equipment needed:

■ Needlenose pliers

■ Jumpers (supplied with the StorEdge A3500/A3500FC unit)

■ Antistatic wrist strap

Every device attached to a SCSI or FC-AL bus must have a unique controller module ID number in order to communicate. The factory default ID settings for controller A and B are ID 5 and ID 4, respectively.

Note – Do not configure more than four controller modules on the same loop.

1. Locate the 16 pins on the rear of the FC-AL controller module (

FIGURE 2-8).

The eight pins on the right determine the host ID for controller 1(A); the pins on the left determine the ID for controller 2(B).

2. Wearing the antistatic wrist strap, install jumpers on the pins as shown in

FIGURE 2-8.

If necessary, use the needlenose pliers to remove the jumpers.

Note – Since the top and bottom disk arrays are split between one controller

module, the Module IDs will overlap. This may result in error messages while the host system is booting. The ASC/ASCQ codes for this error is 98/01, and the Sense Key is 6. These error messages are information only and will not impact system performance.

3.1.1.3 SCSI Jumper Cables and Terminators

The StorEdge D1000 disk arrays should have differential SCSI terminators on the inside IN/OUT-1 and IN/OUT-2 SCSI connectors. This configuration is shown in

3.5.2 Connections Between Power Sequencers

The front and rear power sequencers in the 2x7 expansion cabinet and the 1x8 expansion cabinet must be interconnected. Make sure an interconnect cable (part number 530-2325) is connected between the OUT on the front sequencer in the 2x7 expansion cabinet and the IN on the front sequencer in the 1x8 expansion cabinet (

FIGURE 3-22). Make sure that the rear sequencers are likewise connected.

FIGURE 3-22 Connecting the Power Sequencers

3.5.3 Connections to AC Power Sources

Each of the AC power cords connected to the expansion cabinets should be on independent circuit breakers.

To ensure proper redundancy, if independent circuit breaker boxes or AC power sources are used, make sure that power cords from the same expansion cabinet are connected to different circuit breaker boxes or AC power sources.

Caution – Ensure that the second rack will not lose power before the first rack loses

power. Data loss is likely to occur if this happens. Do not configure the 3x15 expansion cabinets as shown in electrician if you do not understand the schematics in these figures.
