Safety and environmental notices xi


CAUTION:
CAUTION regarding IBM provided VENDOR LIFT TOOL:
v Operation of LIFT TOOL by authorized personnel only
v LIFT TOOL intended for use to assist, lift, install, remove units (load) up into rack
elevations. It is not to be used loaded transporting over major ramps nor as a
replacement for such designated tools like pallet jacks, walkies, fork trucks and such
related relocation practices. When this is not practicable, specially trained persons or
services must be used (for instance, riggers or movers). Read and completely
understand the contents of LIFT TOOL operator's manual before using.
v Read and completely understand the contents of LIFT TOOL operator's manual before
using. Failure to read, understand, obey safety rules, and follow instructions may
result in property damage and/or personal injury. If there are questions, contact the
vendor's service and support. Local paper manual must remain with machine in
provided storage sleeve area. Latest revision manual available on vendor's website.
v Test verify stabilizer brake function before each use. Do not over-force moving or
rolling the LIFT TOOL with stabilizer brake engaged.
v Do not raise, lower or slide platform load shelf unless stabilizer (brake pedal jack) is
fully engaged. Keep stabilizer brake engaged when not in use or motion.
v Do not move LIFT TOOL while platform is raised, except for minor positioning.
v Do not exceed rated load capacity. See LOAD CAPACITY CHART regarding
maximum loads at center versus edge of extended platform.
v Only raise load if properly centered on platform. Do not place more than 200 lb (91
kg) on edge of sliding platform shelf also considering the load's center of
mass/gravity (CoG).
v Do not corner load the platform tilt riser accessory option. Secure platform riser tilt
option to main shelf in all four (4x) locations with provided hardware only, prior to
use. Load objects are designed to slide on/off smooth platforms without appreciable
force, so take care not to push or lean. Keep riser tilt option flat at all times except for
final minor adjustment when needed.
v Do not stand under overhanging load.
v Do not use on uneven surface, incline or decline (major ramps).
v Do not stack loads. (C048, part 1 of 2)

xii Storwize V7000 Gen2 and Gen2+: Quick Installation Guide


v Do not operate while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
v Do not support ladder against LIFT TOOL.
v Tipping hazard. Do not push or lean against load with raised platform.
v Do not use as a personnel lifting platform or step. No riders.
v Do not stand on any part of lift. Not a step.
v Do not climb on mast.
v Do not operate a damaged or malfunctioning LIFT TOOL machine.
v Crush and pinch point hazard below platform. Only lower load in areas clear of
personnel and obstructions. Keep hands and feet clear during operation.
v No Forks. Never lift or move bare LIFT TOOL MACHINE with pallet truck, jack or
fork lift.
v Mast extends higher than platform. Be aware of ceiling height, cable trays, sprinklers,
lights, and other overhead objects.
v Do not leave LIFT TOOL machine unattended with an elevated load.
v Watch and keep hands, fingers, and clothing clear when equipment is in motion.
v Turn Winch with hand power only. If winch handle cannot be cranked easily with one
hand, it is probably over-loaded. Do not continue to turn winch past top or bottom of
platform travel. Excessive unwinding will detach handle and damage cable. Always
hold handle when lowering, unwinding. Always assure self that winch is holding
load before releasing winch handle.
v A winch accident could cause serious injury. Not for moving humans. Make certain
clicking sound is heard as the equipment is being raised. Be sure winch is locked in
position before releasing handle. Read instruction page before operating this winch.

Use the following general rules to ensure safety to yourself and others.
v Observe good housekeeping in the area where the devices are kept during and
after maintenance.
v Follow the guidelines when lifting any heavy object:
1. Ensure that you can stand safely without slipping.
2. Distribute the weight of the object equally between your feet.
3. Use a slow lifting force. Never move suddenly or twist when you attempt to
lift.
4. Lift by standing or by pushing up with your leg muscles; this action removes
the strain from the muscles in your back. Do not attempt to lift any objects that
weigh more than 18 kg (40 lb) or objects that you think are too heavy for you.
v Do not perform any action that causes a hazard or makes the equipment unsafe.
v Before you start the device, ensure that other personnel are not in a hazardous
position.
v Place removed covers and other parts in a safe place, away from all personnel,
while you are servicing the unit.
v Keep your tool case away from walk areas so that other people cannot trip over
it.
v Do not wear loose clothing that can be trapped in the moving parts of a device.
Ensure that your sleeves are fastened or rolled up above your elbows. If your
hair is long, fasten it.

Safety and environmental notices xvii


v Insert the ends of your necktie or scarf inside clothing or fasten it with a
nonconducting clip, approximately 8 cm (3 in.) from the end.
v Do not wear jewelry, chains, metal-frame eyeglasses, or metal fasteners for your
clothing.

Remember: Metal objects are good electrical conductors.


v Wear safety glasses when you are hammering, drilling, soldering, cutting wire,
attaching springs, using solvents, or working in any other conditions that might
be hazardous to your eyes.
v After service, reinstall all safety shields, guards, labels, and ground wires.
Replace any safety device that is worn or defective.
v Reinstall all covers correctly after you have finished servicing the unit.

Handling static-sensitive devices


Ensure that you understand how to handle devices that are sensitive to static
electricity.

Attention: Static electricity can damage electronic devices and your system. To
avoid damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their static-protective bags until you
are ready to install them.

To reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge, observe the following


precautions:
v Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around
you.
v Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or frame.
v Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed printed circuitry.
v Do not leave the device where others can handle and possibly damage the
device.
v While the device is still in its antistatic bag, touch it to an unpainted metal part
of the system unit for at least two seconds. (This action removes static electricity
from the package and from your body.)
v Remove the device from its package and install it directly into your Storwize
V7000, without putting it down. If it is necessary to put the device down, place
it onto its static-protective bag. (If your device is an adapter, place it
component-side up.) Do not place the device onto the cover of the Storwize
V7000 or onto a metal table.
v Take additional care when you handle devices during cold weather. Indoor
humidity tends to decrease in cold weather, causing an increase in static
electricity.

Verify environmental requirements


The environmental and electrical requirements for the physical site must be met to
ensure that your system works reliably.

Before installing a Storwize V7000 system, you must verify that adequate space in
a suitable rack is available. You must also ensure that the requirements for power
and environmental conditions are met.

10 Storwize V7000 Gen2 and Gen2+: Quick Installation Guide


This guide assumes that you have completed the physical planning for the
environment of your system. If you have not done the environmental planning for
your system, see the “Storwize V7000 physical installation planning” topic in the
IBM Knowledge Center for Storwize V7000.

Review enclosure location guidelines


Before you install the enclosures, you must be familiar with these enclosure
location guidelines.

Installing a control enclosure only

If you are installing a control enclosure only, follow these guidelines.


v Position the enclosure in the rack so that you can easily view it and access it for
servicing.
v Locate the enclosure low enough for the rack to remain stable.
v Ensure that you provide a way for two or more people to install and remove the
enclosure.

Installing a control enclosure and one or more expansion


enclosures

If you are installing a control enclosure plus one or more expansion enclosures,
follow these guidelines.
v A Storwize V7000 system can support up to 1056 drives that are installed into
control and expansion enclosures. Each enclosure requires 2U of rack space.
v Each assembled enclosure weighs more than 36 kg. Provide sufficient space at
the front of the rack for three persons to carry the enclosure safely.
v Each system can consist of up to four control enclosures. Each control enclosure
can be connected to up to 20 expansion enclosures (two SAS chains of up to 10
expansion enclosures each).
v For best performance, dived the total number of expansion enclosures to be
installed between each control enclosure in the system.
v Where expansion enclosures are to be installed, distribute them evenly into rack
space above and below the control enclosure to which they will connect. Do not
leave gaps between the enclosures. This aids cabling and serviceability.
v Leave space in the rack for future expansion enclosures, but otherwise install all
enclosures that constitute one system in adjacent or nearby rack space.
v If a rack is to be only partially filled, install the enclosures low enough for the
rack to remain stable and enable easy access to the enclosures for servicing.

Adding an expansion enclosure chain to an existing system


If you are adding an expansion enclosure chain to an existing or Storwize V5030F
system, follow these guidelines.
v You do not need to power off the system. You can add an expansion enclosure
while the system is operational.
v Add the first expansion enclosure directly below the control enclosure.
v Add the second expansion enclosure directly above the control enclosure.
v Add the third expansion enclosure directly below the first.
v Add the fourth expansion directly above the second, and so on.

Connecting SAS cables to expansion enclosures


If you have installed expansion enclosures, you must connect them to a control
enclosure.

About this task

This task applies if you are installing one or more expansion enclosures. Each
control enclosure in the system can manage two sets of expansion enclosures; each
set can consist of a maximum of 10 expansion enclosures. Therefore, each control
enclosure can manage up to 20 expansion enclosures. A system that contains two
control enclosures can have up to 40 expansion enclosures.

Note: When connecting SAS cables between enclosures, you must follow a list of
guidelines to ensure that your configuration is valid. Do not begin connecting the
cables until you have read “SAS cabling guidelines” on page 25.

Procedure

To install the cables, complete the following steps.


1. Using the supplied SAS cables, connect the control enclosure to the expansion
enclosure at rack position 1, as shown in Figure 21 on page 24.
a. Connect SAS port 1 of the left node canister in the control enclosure to SAS
port 1 of the left expansion canister in the first expansion enclosure.

HD cables, as shown in Figure 21.

Note: A control enclosure can support up to 20 expansion enclosures (10 above


the control enclosure and 10 below the control enclosure).
4. If additional control enclosures are installed, repeat this cabling procedure on
each control enclosure and its expansion enclosures.

24 Storwize V7000 Gen2 and Gen2+: Quick Installation Guide


SAS cabling guidelines
When connecting SAS cables between 2U expansion enclosures, you must follow a
list of guidelines to ensure that your configuration is valid.

Orienting the connector

When inserting SAS cables, make sure the connector (Figure 22) is oriented
correctly.
v The orientation of the connector must match the orientation of the port before
you push the connector into the port. The cable connector and socket are keyed,
and it is important that you have proper alignment of the keys when the cable is
inserted.
v The blue pull tab must be below the connector.
v Insert the connector gently until it clicks into place. If you feel resistance, the
connector is probably oriented the wrong way. Do not force it.
v When inserted correctly, the connector can only be removed by pulling the tab.
v When both ends of a SAS cable are inserted correctly, the green link LEDs next
to the connected SAS ports are lit.

v3500179

Figure 22. SAS cable connectors

Guidelines

Be aware of the following guidelines when you attach the cables to the SAS ports.

Be aware of the following guidelines when you attach the cables to the SAS ports
in 2U expansion enclosures.
v No more than ten expansion enclosures can be chained to SAS port 1 of a node
canister. The expansion enclosures in this chain should be installed below the
control enclosure (as shown in Figure 23 on page 26).
v No more than ten expansion enclosures can be chained to SAS port 2 of a node
canister. The expansion enclosures in this chain should be installed above the
control enclosure (as shown in Figure 23 on page 26).
v No cable can be connected between a port on a left canister and a port on a
right canister.
v A cable must not be connected between ports in the same enclosure.

Chapter 2. Installing the Storwize V7000 Gen2 and Storwize V7000 Gen2+ hardware 25
v A connected port on the node canister must connect to a single port on an
expansion canister. Cables that split the connector out into separate physical
connections are not supported.
v Attach cables serially between enclosures; do not skip an enclosure.
v The last enclosure in a chain must not have cables in port 2 of canister 1 and
port 2 of canister 2.
v Ensure that cables are installed in an orderly way to reduce the risk of cable
damage when replaceable units are removed or inserted.

CAUTION:
Removing components from the upper positions in the rack cabinet improves
rack stability during a relocation. Follow these general guidelines whenever you
relocate a populated rack cabinet within a room or building.
v Reduce the weight of the rack cabinet by removing equipment starting at the
top of the rack cabinet. When possible, restore the rack cabinet to the
configuration of the rack cabinet as you received it. If this configuration is not
known, you must observe the following precautions.
– Remove all devices in the 32U position and above.
– Ensure that the heaviest devices are installed in the bottom of the rack
cabinet.
– Ensure that there are no empty U-levels between devices installed in the
rack cabinet below the 32U level.
v If the rack cabinet you are relocating is part of a suite of rack cabinets, detach
the rack cabinet from the suite.
v If the rack cabinet you are relocating was supplied with removable outriggers
they must be reinstalled before the cabinet is relocated.
v Inspect the route that you plan to take to eliminate potential hazards.
v Verify that the route that you choose can support the weight of the loaded
rack cabinet. Refer to the documentation that comes with your rack cabinet for
the weight of a loaded rack cabinet.
v Verify that all door openings are at least 760 x 230 mm (30 x 80 in.).
v Ensure that all devices, shelves, drawers, doors, and cables are secure.
v Ensure that the four leveling pads are raised to their highest position.
v Ensure that there is no stabilizer bracket installed on the rack cabinet during
movement.
v Do not use a ramp inclined at more than 10 degrees.
v When the rack cabinet is in the new location, complete the following steps:
– Lower the four leveling pads.
– Install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet.
– If you removed any devices from the rack cabinet, repopulate the rack
cabinet from the lowest position to the highest position.
v If a long-distance relocation is required, restore the rack cabinet to the
configuration of the rack cabinet as you received it. Pack the rack cabinet in
the original packaging material, or equivalent. Also lower the leveling pads to
raise the casters off the pallet and bolt the rack cabinet to the pallet. (R002)

CAUTION:
CAUTION regarding IBM provided VENDOR LIFT TOOL:
v Operation of LIFT TOOL by authorized personnel only
v LIFT TOOL intended for use to assist, lift, install, remove units (load) up into rack
elevations. It is not to be used loaded transporting over major ramps nor as a
replacement for such designated tools like pallet jacks, walkies, fork trucks and such
related relocation practices. When this is not practicable, specially trained persons or
services must be used (for instance, riggers or movers). Read and completely
understand the contents of LIFT TOOL operator's manual before using.
v Read and completely understand the contents of LIFT TOOL operator's manual before
using. Failure to read, understand, obey safety rules, and follow instructions may
result in property damage and/or personal injury. If there are questions, contact the
vendor's service and support. Local paper manual must remain with machine in
provided storage sleeve area. Latest revision manual available on vendor's website.
v Test verify stabilizer brake function before each use. Do not over-force moving or
rolling the LIFT TOOL with stabilizer brake engaged.
v Do not raise, lower or slide platform load shelf unless stabilizer (brake pedal jack) is
fully engaged. Keep stabilizer brake engaged when not in use or motion.
v Do not move LIFT TOOL while platform is raised, except for minor positioning.
v Do not exceed rated load capacity. See LOAD CAPACITY CHART regarding
maximum loads at center versus edge of extended platform.
v Only raise load if properly centered on platform. Do not place more than 200 lb (91
kg) on edge of sliding platform shelf also considering the load's center of
mass/gravity (CoG).
v Do not corner load the platform tilt riser accessory option. Secure platform riser tilt
option to main shelf in all four (4x) locations with provided hardware only, prior to
use. Load objects are designed to slide on/off smooth platforms without appreciable
force, so take care not to push or lean. Keep riser tilt option flat at all times except for
final minor adjustment when needed.
v Do not stand under overhanging load.
v Do not use on uneven surface, incline or decline (major ramps).
v Do not stack loads. (C048, part 1 of 2)

32 Storwize V7000 Gen2 and Gen2+: Quick Installation Guide


v Do not operate while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
v Do not support ladder against LIFT TOOL.
v Tipping hazard. Do not push or lean against load with raised platform.
v Do not use as a personnel lifting platform or step. No riders.
v Do not stand on any part of lift. Not a step.
v Do not climb on mast.
v Do not operate a damaged or malfunctioning LIFT TOOL machine.
v Crush and pinch point hazard below platform. Only lower load in areas clear of
personnel and obstructions. Keep hands and feet clear during operation.
v No Forks. Never lift or move bare LIFT TOOL MACHINE with pallet truck, jack or

v Mast extends higher than platform. Be aware of ceiling height, cable trays, sprinklers,
lights, and other overhead objects.
v Do not leave LIFT TOOL machine unattended with an elevated load.
v Watch and keep hands, fingers, and clothing clear when equipment is in motion.
v Turn Winch with hand power only. If winch handle cannot be cranked easily with one
hand, it is probably over-loaded. Do not continue to turn winch past top or bottom of
platform travel. Excessive unwinding will detach handle and damage cable. Always
hold handle when lowering, unwinding. Always assure self that winch is holding
load before releasing winch handle.
v A winch accident could cause serious injury. Not for moving humans. Make certain
clicking sound is heard as the equipment is being raised. Be sure winch is locked in
position before releasing handle. Read instruction page before operating this winch.
Never allow winch to unwind freely. Freewheeling will cause uneven cable wrapping
around winch drum, damage cable, and may cause serious injury. (C048, part 2 of 2)

CAUTION:
If the System slide rails are installed above EIA location 29U, the [ServerLIFT®]
tool (or other qualified lift tool) must be used as a safety precaution for
servicing. Position the lift tool platform slightly below the bottom of the System
drawer to account for the slight downward flex when the drawer is extended out
fully on its slides. Then gently raise the lift tool platform to stably contact the
bottom of the drawer, minding not to over force it as it could put upward stress
to the slide rails. A service-qualified ladder may have to be used to reach or
properly work around the System at such heights. While using a ladder, do not
lean on or against the system drawer or lift tool during service, and follow safe
practices. (C051)

v Do not raise, lower or slide platform load shelf unless stabilizer (brake pedal jack) is
fully engaged. Keep stabilizer brake engaged when not in use or motion.
v Do not move LIFT TOOL while platform is raised, except for minor positioning.
v Do not exceed rated load capacity. See LOAD CAPACITY CHART regarding
maximum loads at center versus edge of extended platform.
v Only raise load if properly centered on platform. Do not place more than 200 lb (91
kg) on edge of sliding platform shelf also considering the load's center of
mass/gravity (CoG).
v Do not corner load the platform tilt riser accessory option. Secure platform riser tilt
option to main shelf in all four (4x) locations with provided hardware only, prior to
use. Load objects are designed to slide on/off smooth platforms without appreciable
force, so take care not to push or lean. Keep riser tilt option flat at all times except for
final minor adjustment when needed.
v Do not stand under overhanging load.
v Do not use on uneven surface, incline or decline (major ramps).
v Do not stack loads. (C048, part 1 of 2)

Chapter 2. Installing the Storwize V7000 Gen2 and Storwize V7000 Gen2+ hardware 53
v Do not operate while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
v Do not support ladder against LIFT TOOL.
v Tipping hazard. Do not push or lean against load with raised platform.
v Do not use as a personnel lifting platform or step. No riders.
v Do not stand on any part of lift. Not a step.
v Do not climb on mast.
v Do not operate a damaged or malfunctioning LIFT TOOL machine.
v Crush and pinch point hazard below platform. Only lower load in areas clear of

v Mast extends higher than platform. Be aware of ceiling height, cable trays, sprinklers,
lights, and other overhead objects.
v Do not leave LIFT TOOL machine unattended with an elevated load.
v Watch and keep hands, fingers, and clothing clear when equipment is in motion.
v Turn Winch with hand power only. If winch handle cannot be cranked easily with one
hand, it is probably over-loaded. Do not continue to turn winch past top or bottom of
platform travel. Excessive unwinding will detach handle and damage cable. Always
hold handle when lowering, unwinding. Always assure self that winch is holding
load before releasing winch handle.
v A winch accident could cause serious injury. Not for moving humans. Make certain
clicking sound is heard as the equipment is being raised. Be sure winch is locked in
position before releasing handle. Read instruction page before operating this winch.
Never allow winch to unwind freely. Freewheeling will cause uneven cable wrapping
around winch drum, damage cable, and may cause serious injury. (C048, part 2 of 2)

CAUTION:
If the System slide rails are installed above EIA location 29U, the [ServerLIFT®]
tool (or other qualified lift tool) must be used as a safety precaution for
servicing. Position the lift tool platform slightly below the bottom of the System
drawer to account for the slight downward flex when the drawer is extended out
fully on its slides. Then gently raise the lift tool platform to stably contact the
bottom of the drawer, minding not to over force it as it could put upward stress
to the slide rails. A service-qualified ladder may have to be used to reach or
properly work around the System at such heights. While using a ladder, do not
lean on or against the system drawer or lift tool during service, and follow safe
practices. (C051)

DANGER
DANGER: Serious injury or death can occur if loaded lift tool falls over or if
a heavy load falls off the lift tool. Always completely lower the lift tool load
plate and properly secure the load on the lift tool before moving or using the
lift tool to lift or move an object. (D010)

Installing or replacing a drive: 2076-92F


Use the following procedure to install a drive for the first time or to replace a
faulty drive in a 2076-92F expansion enclosure with a new one received from FRU
stock.

Before you begin

Important:
v You can replace a drive assembly without powering off the expansion enclosure.
However, to maintain operating temperature, do not keep the cover off an
operational enclosure for more than 15 minutes. The reduction in airflow
through the enclosure might cause the enclosure or its components to shut down
to protect from overheating.
v Ensure that the drive that you are replacing is not a spare or a member of an
array. The drive status is shown in Pools > Internal Storage in the management
GUI. If the drive is a member of an array, follow the fix procedures in the

Chapter 2. Installing the Storwize V7000 Gen2 and Storwize V7000 Gen2+ hardware 69

The PROTECTIVE EARTHING CONDUCTORS should be terminated at that point. A
recognized or certified closed loop connector (ring terminal) should be used and secured
to the frame with a lock washer using a bolt or stud. The connector should be properly
sized to be suitable for the bolt or stud, the locking washer, the rating for the
conducting wire used, and the considered rating of the breaker. The intent is to ensure
the frame is electrically bonded to the PROTECTIVE EARTHING CONDUCTORS. The
hole that the bolt or stud goes into where the terminal conductor and the lock washer
contact should be free of any non-conductive material to allow for metal to metal
contact. All PROTECTIVE EARTHING CONDUCTORS should terminate at this main
protective earthing terminal or at points marked with . (R010)

Connecting the optional 2076-92F SAS expansion enclosures


After you install expansion enclosures into the rack, you must connect them to
each system that will use them. The system requires software version 7.8.0. Do not
connect the expansion enclosure if software version 7.8.0 is not installed on the
system.

About this task

This task applies if you are installing a 2076-92F expansion enclosure.

Note: When you insert SAS cables, ensure that the connector is oriented correctly
to the control enclosure and expansion enclosure.
v For Storwize V7000 Gen2 or Storwize V7000 Gen2+ control enclosures, and
2145-24F or 2145-12F expansion enclosures, the blue pull tab must be below the
cable (▌1▐ in Figure 114).

1 2
svc00868

Figure 114. SAS cable connector orientation

v For 2076-92F enclosures, the blue pull tab must be above the connector (▌2▐ in
Figure 114).
v Insert the connector gently until it clicks into place. If you feel resistance, the
connector is probably oriented the wrong way. Do not force it.
v When inserted correctly, the connector can be removed only by pulling the tab.

Be aware of the following guidelines when you attach the cables to the SAS ports.

124 Storwize V7000 Gen2 and Gen2+: Quick Installation Guide


v No cable can be connected between a port on a left canister and a port on a
right canister of the expansion enclosures.
v Ensure that cables are installed in an orderly way to reduce the risk of cable
damage when replaceable units are removed or inserted.
v SAS cables must be routed through the cable management arms to reduce the
risk of disconnecting the nodes from their storage arrays. This step also helps to
protect the SAS cables from getting damaged if you slide the node or enclosure
out of the rack while they are attached. Arrange your cables to provide access to
the following components:
– Ethernet ports, including the technician port. The technician port is used for
initial setup of the system by directly attaching to a personal computer. It can
also be used to complete service actions for the system.
– USB ports. USB ports can be used to initialize the system or to perform
service-related tasks by using a USB flash drive that contains executable files
for initializing the system.
– Fibre Channel and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) ports. If your system
has an optionally installed Fibre Channel and FCoE adapter for host and
external storage attachment, ensure that these ports are accessible.
– The nodes and the enclosures themselves. Access is required to the hardware
for servicing and for safely removing and replacing components by using two
or more people.

Procedure
1. Install the cables, as shown in Figure 115 on page 126.

Note: Figure 115 on page 126 shows the cable connections between the SAS
enclosures and the Storwize V7000 Gen2 control enclosure. It does not imply or
represent the precise racking order for the enclosures in a rack. However, due
to its size and weight, always place the 2076-92F enclosure near the bottom of
the rack.

2. If more I/O groups are configured, repeat the cabling procedure for the other
I/O groups. Each system can have a maximum of four I/O groups, with two
chains of expansion enclosures attached to each I/O group. Two chains of
expansion enclosures can be attached to each I/O group. On each SAS chain,
the systems can support up to a SAS chain weight of 10.

Combining 2U and 5U expansion enclosures


About this task

As Figure 115 shows, you can combine 2145-24F, 2145-12F, and 2076-92F enclosures
in a SAS chain. The limiting factor is the combined chain weight of the various
components. The maximum SAS chain weight that can be attached to a node SAS
port is 10:
v 2076-92F enclosures have a chain weight of 2.5
v 2145-24F and 2145-12F enclosures have a chain weight of 1.

fab10011
Figure 129. Example configuration with four Fibre Channel cables per canister

3. If a control enclosure is already installed, you can optionally add Fibre Channel
connections between all the control enclosures.
v This involves both the physical installation of the cables and configuring the
correct zoning on the Fibre Channel switches.
v Configure the network so that every node canister has at least two
connections to every node canister in a different control enclosure.
v You must configure the network before you attempt to add a control
enclosure to an existing system.

Powering on the system


After you install all hardware components, you must power on the system and
check its status.

About this task

Attention: Do not power on the system with any open bays or slots.
v Every unused drive bay must be occupied by a filler panel.
v Filler panels must be installed in all empty host interface adapter slots.
Open bays or slots disrupt the internal air flow, causing the drives to receive
insufficient cooling.

Procedure

To power on the system, complete the following steps.


1. Power on all expansion enclosures. Use the supplied power cords to connect
both power supply units of the enclosure to their power sources. If the power
sources have circuit breakers or switches, ensure that they are turned on. The
enclosure does not have power switches. Repeat this step for each expansion
enclosure in the system.

Note: Each enclosure has two power supply units. To provide power failure
redundancy, connect the two power cords to separate power circuits.
2. From the rear of the expansion enclosure, check the LEDs on each expansion
canister (see Figure 130 on page 141).

Chapter 3. Configuring the system
Configuring your system is necessary in two situations: when you power up a new
system for the first time, and when you add an expansion enclosure to an existing
system.

After initializing the system, you will use the Storwize management GUI to
complete the configuration procedures.
v The management GUI requires a supported web browser (see “Checking your
web browser settings for the management GUI”).
v To configure a new system, you will log on to the management GUI with the
default user name and password (see “User name and password for system
initialization”).

Note: If you are setting up a new hybrid Storwize V7000 system (a mix of
Storwize V7000 Gen1 and Storwize V7000 Gen2 enclosures), it is necessary to start
with a Storwize V7000 Gen1 enclosure, and then add Storwize V7000 Gen2
enclosures afterward. It is not possible to configure a Storwize V7000 Gen2 system
that is running software level 7.7.x, and then add a Storwize V7000 Gen1 enclosure
to the system.

The steps for initializing a new system are described in “Initializing the system by
using the technician port” on page 146.

The steps for adding an expansion enclosure to an existing system are described in
“Adding an expansion enclosure to an existing system” on page 147.

The steps for adding a control enclosure to an existing system are described in
“Adding a control enclosure to an existing system” on page 148.

Initializing the system by using the technician port


To initialize a new system, you must connect a personal computer to the technician
port on the rear of a node canister and run the initialization tool.

Before you begin

You require the following items:


v A supported browser that is installed on the personal computer
v An Ethernet cable to connect the personal computer to the technician port

Attention: Do not connect the technician port to a switch. If a switch is detected,


the technician port connection might shut down, causing a 746 node error.

Procedure

To initialize the system, complete the following steps.


1. Ensure that the system is powered on, as described in “Powering on the
system” on page 140.
2. Configure an Ethernet port on the personal computer to enable Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) configuration of its IP address and DNS
settings.
If you do not have DHCP, you must manually configure the personal computer.
Specify the static IPv4 address 192.168.0.2, subnet mask 255.255.255.0,
gateway 192.168.0.1, and DNS 192.168.0.1.
3. Locate the Ethernet port that is labeled T on the rear of a node canister.

Figure 132. Storwize V7000 technician port

4. Connect an Ethernet cable between the port of the personal computer that is
configured in step 2 on page 146 and the technician port. After the connection
is made, the system will automatically configure the IP and DNS settings for
the personal computer if DHCP is available. If it is not available, the system
will use the values you provided in step 2 on page 146.
5. After the Ethernet port of the personal computer is connected, open a
supported browser and browse to address http://install. (If you do not have
DCHP, open a supported browser and go to the following static IP address
192.168.0.1.) The browser is automatically directed to the initialization tool.

Note: If the system cannot be initialized, you are directed to the service
assistant. Refer to “Problem: Cannot initialize or create a Storwize V7000
system” in the Troubleshooting > Resolving a problem section of the Storwize
V7000 IBM Knowledge Center.
6. Follow the instructions that are presented by the initialization tool to configure
