Preface ISE User Guide

Preface

This user guide is intended to be a comprehensive summary of user-level operations on the ISE Storage Blade, including the ISE-2, ISE-3, Hyper ISE, and ISE 7-Series, which are collectively refered to as ISE unless model discrimination is required. A Hyper ISE platform is one that combines the capacity of both DataPacs into a single pool of storage. This user guide is designed for use by administrators who are responsible for initial system setup and storage managers who are responsible for configuring, monitoring, and maintaining the ISE in a production environment. This document includes a number of appendices that help with setup and troubleshooting.

Introduction

The ISE is a high-density, fully redundant, rack-mountable storage device that integrates enterprise-class drives with advanced array controllers and environmental support components to provide an extremely reliable self-contained storage unit that outperforms more traditional storage sub-systems.

As a fully redundant unit, the ISE consists of pairs of active components; each member of the pair can function in the absence of the other member, maintaining operation in the event of failure of an active component. If a component fails, the system supplies information designed to assist in completing corrective actions. The ISE can continue to operate with multiple component failures while making intelligent decisions to provide the highest level of data protection and integrity.

Advanced Features

The ISE provides the following advanced features:

a. Managed Reliability: The ISE contains processes that improve system reliability through intelligent error

management. These processes include:

• A hierarchy of table-driven recovery actions that repair drive errors ranging from simple errors to those

requiring more advanced error handling. This feature provides no-touch drive maintenance and

virtually eliminates removal of entire drives from service.

• In-place drive remanufacture that predicts, diagnoses, and repairs drive degeneration and failures

using algorithms and commands previously available only to the drive manufacturer.

• A closed-loop feedback system between the installation and the manufacturer that collects and

analyzes a variety of system operating metrics. This feature greatly reduces failures by remotely

predicting and diagnosing potential problems and providing proactive system servicing.

• Hybrid DataPacs, combining solid state drives and hard drives.

b. High-performance data I/O: The system architecture leverages the power of a single processor with mul-

tiple cores and SSDs (Hyper ISE) to deliver outstanding data I/O performance.

c. Dual controllers: Both controllers actively participate in data I/O, simultaneously accessing all drives in

the system. This configuration provides maximum performance as well as reliability.

d. Outstanding data integrity protection: The system implements the following data integrity features:

• ISE RAID 10 (similar to industry RAID 1) provides data integrity protection using algorithms that deliver

efficient function with minimal overhead.

• Data Integrity Field (DIF) implementation provides additional data integrity protection.

e. Automatic failover/failback: The system performs automatic transfer of volume access from an out-of-

service controller to the partner in conjunction with appropriate multi-path drivers at the host level.

f. Run-time controller and drive firmware upgrades: The system provides the ability to upgrade the inter-

nal controller firmware, drive firmware, and servo code with new versions without service interruption. Should a controller experience an unrecoverable error during the firmware upgrade process, controller firmware is returned to the previously installed version.

Components

The ISE consists of six major components as shown in the following figure (Figure 1) plus an active bezel.

Figure 1. ISE Major Components

These major components are:

1. Two DataPacs, containing multiple drives in sealed assemblies

2. One System status module

3. Two Managed Reliability Controllers (MRCs), providing control and value-added features

4. Two emergency power units, made up of supercapacitors, capable of providing power to write-back cache for up to one year

5. One chassis, custom-designed to house the active components of the ISE

6. Two power supply units with blowers, providing a redundant power source

Of the above listed components, all but numbers 2 and 5 are Field Replaceable Units (FRU). Additionally, the ISE contains one to eight more FRUs; they are the Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) Fibre Channel connectors as described below.

Introduction ISE User Guide

ISE Fibre Channel

The ISE has four Small Form-Factor Pluggable maximum throughput with eight Gigabit host port connectivity. These Fibre Channel host ports connect hosts to a Storage Area Network through Fibre Channel switches. Using multiple Fibre Channel switches for host connections achieves fault tolerance at the storage-to-network interface. See “ISE Ports View” on page 21 and “Direct Attach (DAS)” on page 21.

The ISE Fibre Channel ports operate in Old-Port mode and comply with the following specifications:

• Fibre Channel Framing and Signaling (FC-FS), Revision 1.90

• Fibre Channel Link Services (FC-LS), Revision 1.0 to SCSI Primary Commands (SPC-3), Revision 22a

• SCSI 3 Block Commands (SBC), Revision 8C

• SCSI Architecture Model 3 (SAM-3), Revision 13 of the SCSI specifications

Extremely high drive operability is provided by the ISE Managed Reliability feature, which corrects many drive failures without operator intervention. A data migration utility is available through entire DataPac requires replacing. Capacity for hot sparing is automatically provided within the DataPac and managed by the MRCs.

The ISE has two Ethernet management ports, one on each MRC, and can operate in either Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) mode or static IP mode. DHCP mode is enabled by default at the factory.

Three easy-to-use management interfaces provide configuration and control of the ISE:

• Orchestrator—an advanced Web based interface facilitating the management of all ISE systems within an

Ethernet network as documented in the Orchestrator User Guide

• Classic Management Interface—a Web-based management interface, accessible from a browser

anywhere on the network

• Command Line Interface (CLI), accessible from a remote console anywhere on the network See “Web Management Interface” on page 27 and “Characters—Web-Mgt and CLI” on page 29 for a detailed

description of these interfaces.

Install DataPacs

The ISE Storage Blade ships with two DataPacs or one DataPac and one DataPac Filler. The bay to left of the supercapacitor bays must always be populated with a DataPac.

CAUTION—Handling DataPacs

DataPac units are delicate and should always be handled with care. This is extremely important during the

unpacking of DataPacs and subsequent handling leading to DataPac insertion into the chassis. The latch han- dle located on each DataPac unit is not intended for use as a carrying handle. Careless handling can damage

the unit.

Proper and improper handling of a DataPac is demonstrated below.

Figure 11. DataPac Handling Proper and Improper

Unpack a DataPac and insert it gently into the front of the chassis with the black latch fully extended and oriented as shown in Figure 12 below. When the DataPac is firmly in place, secure the DataPac by closing the black latch handle and tightening the two captive screws (Figure 9 on page 14) until snug—do not overtighten—to secure the DataPac (Figure 12). Repeat this step for the other DataPac.

Notes:

[1] All DataPac latch handle captive screws must be firmly tightened prior to initial ISE Storage Blade power

on to prevent the inadvertent pulling of a DataPac and resultant data loss.

[2] DataPacs should never be removed from an initialized ISE Storage Blade unless it is powered off or a

DataPac remove command has been issued.

Recommended Cabling

Cabling an ISE involves attaching the power cords, Ethernet cables, service console cable (one), and Fibre Channel cables to the associated connectors on the ISE in a manner similar to that shown, figures 18 and 19. The important issue with cabling is to run the cables with enough slack to permit the hot-replacement of any component without interruption in ISE data services.

FRU Locations

The following figure identifies the ISE components (FRUs) by their location number. That is, when referring to DataPac one (1), the specified DataPac is located to the left when viewing the ISE from the front. In Figure 17 (following page), this DataPac is identified with the number

SFP Installation

When additional SFP (Small-Form-Factor Pluggable) Fibre Channel connector modules are purchased, installation is required. Install SFP modules using the following procedure:

1. Remove the protective plug from a port on an ISE MRC—three ports are available on each MRC.

2. Gently insert the replacement SFP fully into the chassis. If a solid resistance is encountered, remove the SFP, turn it over, and re-insert it.

3. When the SFP is fully inserted, engage the bail if needed to secure it in the MRC. When properly seated, the SFP is flush with the MRC latch handle.

4. Insert a Fibre Channel cable gently into the SFP while gently pinching the cable connector.

Service Console

The very first time an ISE is powered on, a service console is required to determine or change the IP addresses. The service console can be a laptop or other computer that provides serial port connectivity. Connect the computer to one of the serial ports on the ISE with the supplied serial cable.

Note. A single cable can be plugged into either service console port.

With a service console connected, follow the procedure below to establish a service console connection:

1. Open a terminal emulation application on the service console.

2. Set the terminal emulation application properties for the appropriate COM port as shown in Table 3.
