I. Installation Notes
1,
GHD IV Black Straighteners, learning DS5000 service exercise (SEDS50001.pdf) begin, the book covers DS5K Products, hardware, likened with the DS4800, etc., after reading the product will have a general understanding; the document can GTS Knowledge DB download
---- MUST READ! ! In accordance with IBM standards, and absence of E-Learning exercising of engineers, will not have a job qualification,
GHD Straighteners! !
2, installation DS5K, be sure to strictly in accordance with the
http://www-947.ibm.com/systems/support/supportsite.wss/docdisplay?lndocid=MIGR-5077659&brandind=5000028
---- any hardware products for IBM, according to IBM specifications because installation of lawful documents is a basic prerequisite as engineers.
3, DS5100 (1818-51A), DS5300 (1818-53A), EXP5000 (1818-D1A disk expansion cabinet) is a factory-installed by the IBM. EXP810 EXP5000 and see alike, in truth, there is a difference, EXP5000 the ESM microcode at least 98C1, if you need to EXP810 connected DS5100/5300, the EXP810 ESM must ascend to 98C1 or more microcode. The ESM EXP5000 EXP810 the FRU and not different from Sub.
4, if we ascertain IR merely 1818-51A/53A, not 1818-D1A, that customers may be arranged with EXP810. Then if the EXP810 ESM microcode than 98C1, DS5K may not acknowledge the disk expansion cabinet. TSG absence to ascertain aid to determine open PMH.
5, DS5000 configuration in a unattached can only do with EXP5000, DS5000 EXP5000 pate before the basic cabinet must not be chained single turn, or may lose authorize, and the EXP5000 to plug at fewest 2 disks.
6,
GHD MK4 Gold Straighteners, the main cabinet and expansion cabinets connected to refer installation manual. There are many reference example.
4 per controller
8 Drive Port, the connection method is
the first four extension counters: 8 -> 1, 6 -> 3, 4 -> 5, 2 -> 7
After the cabinet expansion
4: 7 -> 2, 5 -> 4, 3 -> 6, 1 -> 8
CNTL-A to 8 to 1 with CNTL-B port,
GHD Purple Straighteners, and so on. . .
7, DS5100's NVSRAM version of the problem and recommended microcode version
recently found that many DS5100 in the coming time, factory-installed Firmware is 07.30.21.00, NVSRAM version is N1818D53R1030V0B
This version is wrong, is used to the DS5300. If you find such a situation, there should be a detach brush to the NVSRAM N1818D51R1030V0B.
the emulating correspondence between the right:
DS5100: 07.30.21.00 N1818D51R1030V0B
DS5300: 07.30.21.00 N1818D53R1030V0B
all current installations and the recently completed installation of the DS5000, it is highly recommended to upgrade to the latest microcode current recommended version! ! !
8, DS5K shutdown or power failure, the power cell ambition advocate the Cache in the data written to Flash; This namely differ DS4800, DS4800 power, the power cell ambition support the Cache 72 hours, until the battery runs out. Because of this inconsistency, DS5K shutdown process takes longer, about 3-5 minutes, shut down, the power light will off.
press the power clasp off the DS5000 after the lights go out by all power must not be carried out before anybody operation! ! !
9, installed after the end, we have to adviser the client apt the right alternate, the main closet and expansion of the alternate cabinet mandate.
because a lot of CIE or the inexplicable circumstance are incorrect at the customer or BP's switch the order of misuse reasoned along non-standard. Special care to this point.
--- _ best customers tin speedily use the version of livelihood manuals to the customer and the BP integration of multiple providers, so namely we tin rub points less ass.
10, Controller Host Port discretion.
because Port 1 / 2 a share a control piece, Port 3 / 4 is the same, so if it were not for 2 port, it is suggested to choose the Port 1 and Port 3, isolated to a different control piece. If there are a Host Interface Card, you should use the Host Port isolated to a different Host Interface Card ashore.
Second, the maximum common installation problems left:
1. engineers in power ahead the switch rate of EXP5000 did not kick the 4GB
EXP5000 default is the rate switch is 2GB, yet engineers in power before, did not go to retard the rate of expansion of cabinet and pedal the handle switch is the rate on the name match.
orders in accordance with the present, EXP5000 basically corner with fifteen thousand 4GB fiber optic record.
Special Note: If equipped with a SATA disk is 3GB,
GHD, the rate switches should be playing in the 4GB. SATA disks can also recommend running on 4GB rate
Profile Errors examples are as follows:
TRAY, SLOT STATUS CAPACITY TYPE CURRENT DATA RATE PRODUCT ID FIRMWARE VERSION
0, 2 Optimal 279.397 GB Fibre 2 Gbps HUS1545300FC ; JG03
rate of change EXP5000 EXP5000 to the next switch to electricity.
2. engineers in the installation process, did not refresh appended purchase Storage Partition (storage partition) License
DS5000 default is standard 2 Storage Partition (storage partition) License. But the plant orders, it will enforce additional purchase at least 8 Storage Partition (storage partition) of the License. Therefore, the time during unpacking DS5000, accessories box, there must be a record and the Feature Activation Code of A4 paper, which is the additional purchase of Storage Partition (tub) License certificate and activation. Engineers have to go under the Feature Activation Code License Key document the retinue Web site, and then activated by SM.

Profile Errors instances are It’s about time:
MAPPINGS (Storage Partitioning - Enabled (0 of 2 used ))-------------------
3. engineers did not go to upgrade the microcode DDM
4. For extra than expand cabinet with DS5000, EXP5000 engineers did not put for much as possible the distribution to extra than 1 loop inside.
DS5000 has a total of 4 on Channel 8 Circle
4 per controller
8 Drive Port, the connection method is
the 1st four extension counters: 8 -> 1, 6 -> 3,
GHD Benefit Straighteners, 4 -> 5, 2 -> 7
After the cabinet expansion
4: 7 -> 2, 5 -> 4, 3 -> 6, 1 -> 8
CNTL-A to 8 to 1 with CNTL-B port, and so on. . .
special attention: in rigid agreement with the on connection usage, all likely extensions to counters, located in different Channel and loop
5. DS5000 controller cache Cache Upgrade Notes:
If the current controller is the standard
Cache size is 4GB, then the match will have a 4GB of USB Flash (Cache Backup Device) installed in the controller Connector 3 situation;
(this and Cache / USB Flash upgrade replacement of the document is inconsistent, it should be typos in the document)
If the present controller is the criterion
Cache size is 8GB, then the mate will have two 4GB of USB Flash (Cache Backup Device) Connector 3 installed in the master and the situation of Connector 4;
other words, if the Cache Controller to upgrade from 4GB to 8GB, in counting to boost the four 1GB of memory, we should also join a new 4GB of USB Flash (Cache Backup Device) installed in the controller Connector 4 position.
