3 Deployment types
The following types of deployments are supported:
• Single domain
In a single domain deployment, one path exists from the disk enclosure to the host. In a single
domain deployment, only one I/O module in the disk enclosure is used
• Dual domain
In a dual domain deployment, two paths exist from the disk enclosure to the host. In a dual domain
deployment, both I/O modules in the disk enclosure are used. Because dual domain deployments
provide two paths to the storage, access is ensured, even in the event of device, cable, or power
failure. In dual domain environments, dual-port disk drives are required.
• Server attached (single or dual domain)
In a server attached deployment, the disk enclosure is connected to a controller card installed in
a server. Several models of controller cards are supported for use with this disk enclosure. For
more information, see the QuickSpecs for the disk enclosure.
• Controller enclosure attached (single or dual domain)
In a controller enclosure attached deployment, the disk enclosure is connected to a rack-mounted
array controller enclosure. The controller enclosure is then connected to the server or network.
Several models of array controller enclosures are supported for use with this disk enclosure. For
more information, see the QuickSpecs for the disk enclosure.
NOTE:
Cabling illustrations are provided elsewhere in this guide, showing a variety of example deployments.

Storage planning considerations include:
• System and performance expectations
• Striping methods
• RAID levels
• Disk drive sizes and types
• Spare drives
• Array sizing (capacity)
NOTE:
For the minimum supported configuration, and other configuration information, see the QuickSpecs
for the disk enclosure.
System and performance expectations
To help determine the best way to configure your storage, rank the following three storage
characteristics in order of importance:
• Fault tolerance (high availability)
• I/O performance
• Storage efficiency
With priorities established, you can determine which striping method and RAID level to use; some
configuration methods offer greater fault tolerance, while other configuration methods offer better I/O
performance or storage efficiency.
Striping methods
There are two methods for configuring the physical layout of the disk arrays:
• Vertical striping—the RAID array uses one physical drive from each disk enclosure.
• Horizontal striping—the RAID array uses multiple drives contained within one or more disk enclos-
ures.
RAID levels
Controllers use RAID technology to group multiple disk drives together in larger logical units (LUNs).
Key RAID methods include the use of data striping, data mirroring, and parity error checking. Data
striping improves speed by performing virtual disk I/O with an entire group of physical disks at the
same time. Mirroring provides data redundancy by storing data and a copy of the data. Parity error
checking provides automatic detection and correction if corruption of a physical disk occurs.
Depending on the host environment, the following RAID levels are supported with this disk enclosure:
RAID0, RAID1, RAID5 and RAID6 with ADG. Each level uses a different combination of RAID methods
that impact data redundancy, the amount of physical disk space used, and I/O speed. After you
create a LUN, you cannot change the RAID level.
The following table compares the different RAID levels.

IMPORTANT: Do not use RAID0
for LUNs if fault tolerance is re-
quired. Consider RAID0 only for
noncritical storage. RAID0 LUNs
provide the best performance for
applications that use random I/O.
RAID0 is optimized for I/O
speed and efficient use of
physical disk capacity, but
provides no data redund-
ancy.

RAID1
None
Striping
RAID1 is optimized for data
redundancy and I/O speed,
but uses the most physical
disk space. IMPORTANT:
RAID1 uses about 100%
more physical disk space
than RAID0 and 70% more
than RAID5.
In general, RAID1 virtual disks
provide better performance char-
acteristics over a wider range of High
application workloads than
RAID5.
Mirroring
RAID5 virtual disks can provide
performance advantages over
RAID1 for some applications that
use sequential I/O. Consider
RAID5 disks for applications with Medium
high sequential I/O of records in
multiples of 8K bytes. The larger
the record size, the greater the
advantage.
RAID5 provides a balance
of data redundancy, I/O
speed and efficient use of
physical disk space.

RAID5. However, write perform-

High
Disk drive sizes and types
RAID arrays should be composed of disk drives of the same size and performance capability. When
drives are mixed within a disk enclosure, the usable capacity and the processing ability of the entire
storage sub-system is affected. For example, when a RAID array is composed of different sized drives,
the RAID array defaults to the smallest individual drive size, and capacity in the larger drives goes
unused.
Spare disks
Spares are disks that are not active members of any particular array, but have been configured to
be used when a disk in one of the arrays fails. If a spare is present, it will immediately be used to
begin rebuilding the information that was on the failed disk, using parity information from the other
member disks. During the rebuilding process, the array is operating in a reduced state and, unless it
is a RAID6 or RAID1+0 array, it cannot tolerate another disk failure in the same array. If another disk

fails at this time, the array becomes inaccessible and information stored there must be restored from
backup.
After the rebuild of the data onto the spare is completed, when a replacement drive is inserted to
replace the failed drive, the system will automatically transfer the data from the spare onto the
replacement drive and return the spare to an available-spare state. It is important to note that the
process of rebuilding the spare or the replacement drive must not be interrupted or the process will
be aborted.
Some administrators have multiple spare disks, so that multiple arrays can experience failure and
successfully recover, before administrative intervention would be required to replace the spare or
failed disk. When assigning a spare to an array, the administrator chooses which arrays and how
many arrays are protected by that spare.
Array sizing
As a general rule, the greater the number of drives that are included in an array, the greater the
performance level that can be achieved. However, performance considerations are offset by fault
tolerance considerations. The greater the number of drives in an array, the higher the probability of
one or more disk failures in that array. The administrator must strike a balance between performance
and fault tolerance.

Preparing the site
Preparing your site includes:
• Providing adequate structural support
Calculate the total weight of your equipment and verify that your site can support the weight.
For HP ProLiant server environments, consider using Rack Builder, a software tool that provides a
simplified method to planning and configuring racks and rack-mountable products. Rack Builder
is available on the Options tab of the ProLiant Home page of the HP servers website: http://
• Providing adequate clearance space and ventilation
Be sure to provide adequate clearance around the front and back of the racks. Provide at least
63.5 cm (25 in) in the front of the rack to allow the doors to open fully and provide at least 76.2
cm (30 in) in the rear of the rack to allow for servicing and airflow.
If there are unused spaces in your rack, attach blanking panels across those empty spaces to force
the airflow through the components instead of through the open spaces.
• Providing adequate and redundant sources of power
Make sure that you have two high-line power feeds installed near your computer. These two power
sources usually come from the same external power grid, but occasionally might originate from
different grids or even entirely different sources.
For protection against a power-source failure, obtain and include two uninterruptible power supplies
in your installation.
For power consumption specifications, see the QuickSpecs for your disk enclosure model.
To ensure continuous, safe, and reliable operation of your equipment, place your system in an approved
environment.

Racking the disk enclosure
The disk enclosure can be installed into most standard server racks. To verify that your rack is supported
for use with the disk enclosure, see the QuickSpecs for the disk enclosure, available on the D2000
CAUTION:
Install disk drives in the enclosures only after mounting the enclosures in the rack.
• A disk enclosure populated with disk drives is too heavy to lift safely.
• Movement of a disk enclosure during installation might damage the internal storage media of in-
stalled disk drives.
Rack installation best practices
In addition to industry-standard recommendations, consider the following:
• Locate the heaviest items, such as uninterruptable power supplies (UPS) and additional disk enclos-
ures near the bottom of the rack.
• To make cabling easy, install the disk enclosures below the server.
• Install similar components next to each other in the rack. Because disk enclosures, switches, and
servers are of differing depths, if you have more than one of a device, mount those devices adjacent
to one another to accommodate working behind the rack.
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, be sure that:
• At least two people lift the storage system during removal or installation if the weight exceeds
22.7 kg (50 lb). If the system is being loaded into the rack above chest level, a third person MUST
assist with aligning the system with the rails while the other two people support the weight of the
system.
• The leveling jacks on the rack are extended to the floor.
• The full weight of the rack rests on the leveling jacks.
• The stabilizing feet are attached to the rack if it is a single-rack installation.
• The racks are coupled together in multiple-rack installations.
• Only one component in a rack is extended at a time. A rack might become unstable if more than
one component is extended.
• To prevent damage and to ease insertion of the device into the rack, support the weight of the
device and keep it level when sliding it into the rack.

Racking procedures
1. Position left and right rack rails at the desired 'U' position in the rack, adjusting the rails to fit the
rack, as needed (1).
2. Secure rack rails to the front and back rack columns using screws. Make sure that the shoulders
of the screws fit inside the square or round holes of the rack (2).
NOTE:
If installing rails in a square hole rack, use larger-sized shoulder screws and pins for mounting.
If installing rails in a round hole rack, use smaller-sized shoulder screws and pins for mounting.
3. Slide the device into position on the rails (1) and then tighten the thumbscrews on the front of the
device to secure the device to the rack.
NOTE:
The rear ends of the rails have a bracket that must engage the device chassis to secure the rear
of the chassis to the rails.

Connecting SAS cables and power cords
Overview
Connecting cables includes the following steps:
IMPORTANT:
The following illustrations demonstrate connecting a disk enclosure to a server with an installed
controller. In your environment, the disk enclosure might connect to a controller enclosure, which then
connects to the host or network. Cabling restrictions may exist for the different installation environments.
For more information, see the user documents for your controller or controller enclosure.
NOTE:
Cabling best practices
• Use supported SAS cables and power cords. A variety of cables and cable lengths are supported
for use with this disk enclosure. For more information, see the QuickSpecs for the disk enclosure,
• Use the shortest possible cable between devices. Shorter cables reduce the possibility of signal
degradation that might occur over longer distances. In addition, shorter cables are easier to
manage and route along the back of the rack.
• Gather cables in the rear of the disk enclosure to ensure that the cabling in the back of the rack
system does not interfere with system operation or maintenance. Bind cables loosely with cable
ties and route the cables out of the way, along the side of the rack. When the cables are tied to-
gether and routed down the side of the rack, system components and indicators are easily visible
and accessible.
• Bind and support cables in a manner that eliminates stress on connectors and tight bends of the
cables. This prevents damage to the connector and cable, and ensures that the connector remains
fully seated in the port.
• Attach a label near both ends of each cable to identify the device connected to that cable. Include
the device, device name, port, or other useful information.
• Use colored markers to color code both ends of each cable, to help visually identify a particular
cable without having to read or locate the label.
• In multipath configurations, you might want to loosely bind the matching pair of cables connecting
devices.

Connecting SAS cables to the server or controller enclosure
To connect the first disk enclosure to the server or controller enclosure, use a standard mini-SAS cable.
IMPORTANT:
When connecting this disk enclosure in a single-domain environment, only the top I/O module (I/O
module A) in the disk enclosure is supported for use.
Observe the following guidelines:
• Only use supported SAS cables with mini-SAS connectors.
• Ensure that the servers or controller enclosures are powered down and power cords are discon-
nected before connecting SAS cables to the disk enclosure.
The following illustration demonstrates connecting a disk enclosure to a server with an installed
controller. In your environment, the disk enclosure might connect to a controller enclosure, which then
connects to the host or network. Regardless of environment, cabling principles from the disk enclosure
to the host are the same.
Note the following when connecting cables:
• P1 on the disk enclosure I/O module is treated as the SAS “in” port.
• P2 on the disk enclosure I/O module is treated as the SAS “out” port.
• In single-domain configurations, one cable path is created between the host, the primary disk en-
closure, and additional cascaded disk enclosures. (Shown)
• In dual-domain configurations, two cable paths are created between the host, the primary disk
enclosure, and additional cascaded disk enclosures.

As additional disk enclosures are connected to the first disk enclosure, they are assigned a box number.
The assigned box number is displayed on the 7-segment display on the rear of the disk enclosure.
IMPORTANT:
• When connecting this disk enclosure in a single-domain environment, only the top I/O module
(I/O module A) in the disk enclosure is supported for use.
• The number of supported cascaded disk enclosures varies per disk enclosure model and installation
environment. For more information, see the QuickSpecs for the disk enclosure, controller, or con-
Observe the following guidelines:
• Only use supported SAS cables with mini-SAS connectors.
• Use provided color clues on the disk enclosure when cabling cascaded disk enclosures; for example,
connect “green” ports to “green” ports (connect I/O module A on one disk enclosure to I/O
module A on the additional disk enclosure).
Note the following when connecting cables:
• P1 on the disk enclosure I/O module is treated as the SAS “in” port.
• P2 on the disk enclosure I/O module is treated as the SAS “out” port.
• In single-domain configurations, one cable path is created between the host, the primary disk en-
closure, and additional cascaded disk enclosures. (Shown)

Connecting power cords
When connecting power cords, use the cords shipped with the disk enclosure.
The power cord should be approved for use in your country. The power cord must be rated for the
product and for the voltage and current marked on the electrical ratings label of the product. The
voltage and current rating for the cord should be greater than the voltage and current rating marked
on the product. In addition, the diameter of the wire must be a minimum of 1.00 mm2 or 18 AWG,
your maximum length may be up to 3.66 m (12 ft).
After power is supplied to the disk enclosure, the power supply automatically senses the input voltage
and the power supply LED illuminates as solid amber.
To protect the system from power-failure-related downtime, each disk enclosure ships standard with
a redundant power supply. Depending how you connect the power supplies to the power source,
you can eliminate downtime caused by power-related failures.

required for dual-domain deployments.
• Cables from each I/O module in the disk enclosure to the server or controller enclosure and to
additional cascaded disk enclosures provide dual-domain connectivity.
• The symmetrical cabling pattern lowers latency and provides best possible performance.
• This example illustrates using a Small Form Factor disk enclosure with one additional cascaded
disk enclosure. When using Large Form Factor disk enclosures, more than one additional disk
enclosure can be cascaded. For more information, see the QuickSpecs for the Large Form Factor

Dual domain—alternative cabling
This example illustrates cabling for a dual-domain configuration in a pattern that offers a balance of
fault tolerance and performance. In this configuration, note the following:
• A multi-port, dual-domain controller in the host and dual-port disk drives in the disk enclosure are
required for dual-domain deployments.
• Cables from each I/O module in the disk enclosure to the server or controller enclosure and to
additional cascaded disk enclosures provide dual-domain connectivity.
• The crossing of the cables between each disk enclosure offers both good fault tolerance and good
performance, but may be confusing to implement and maintain.
• This example illustrates using a Small Form Factor disk enclosure with one additional cascaded
disk enclosure. When using Large Form Factor disk enclosures, more than one additional disk
enclosure can be cascaded. For more information, see the QuickSpecs for the Large Form Factor
disk enclosure.
IMPORTANT:
This cabling scheme is supported for use only when the disk enclosure is connected to a Smart Array
controller.

Recognizing disk drive failure
In an HP enclosure, a steadily glowing fault LED indicates that a disk drive has failed. Other indications
of failed disk drives are as follows:
• ACU represents failed drives with a distinctive icon.
• HP SIM can detect failed drives remotely across a network. (For more information about HP SIM,
see the documentation on the Management CD.)
• ADU lists all failed drives.
• Operating System log files
For additional information about diagnosing disk drive problems, see the HP ProLiant Servers
Troubleshooting Guide.
Effects of a disk drive failure
When a disk drive fails, all logical drives that are in the same array are affected. Each logical drive
in an array might be using a different fault-tolerance method, so each logical drive can be affected
differently.
• RAID0 configurations cannot tolerate drive failure. If any physical drive in the array fails, all non-
fault-tolerant (RAID0) logical drives in the same array also fail.
• RAID1+0 configurations can tolerate multiple drive failures as long as no failed drives are mirrored
to one another (with no spares assigned).
• RAID5 configurations can tolerate one drive failure (with no spares assigned).
• RAID6 with ADG configurations can tolerate simultaneous failure of two drives (with no spares
assigned).
Compromised fault tolerance
If more disk drives fail than the fault-tolerance method allows, fault tolerance is compromised, and
the logical drive fails.
Factors to consider before replacing disk drives
Before replacing a degraded drive:
• Open HP SIM and inspect the Error Counter window for each physical drive in the same array to
confirm that no other drives have any errors. For details, see the HP SIM documentation on the
Management CD.
• Be sure that the array has a current, valid backup.
• Use replacement drives that have a capacity at least as great as that of the smallest drive in the
array. The controller immediately fails drives that have insufficient capacity.
To minimize the likelihood of fatal system errors, take these precautions when removing failed drives:
• Do not remove a degraded drive if any other drive in the array is offline (the online LED is off). In
this situation, no other drive in the array can be removed without data loss.
• Exceptions:
• When RAID1+0 is used, drives are mirrored in pairs. Several drives can be in a failed condition
simultaneously (and they can all be replaced simultaneously) without data loss, as long as no
two failed drives belong to the same mirrored pair.
54
Troubleshooting
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
• When RAID6 with ADG is used, two drives can fail simultaneously (and be replaced simultan-
eously) without data loss.
• If the offline drive is a spare, the degraded drive can be replaced.
• Do not remove a second drive from an array until the first failed or missing drive has been replaced
and the rebuild process is complete. (The rebuild is complete when the Online LED on the front of
the drive stops blinking.)
Exceptions:
• In RAID6 with ADG configurations, any two drives in the array can be replaced simultaneously.
• In RAID1+0 configurations, any drives that are not mirrored to other removed or failed drives
can be simultaneously replaced offline without data loss.
Automatic data recovery (rebuild)
When you replace a disk drive in an array, the controller uses the fault-tolerance information on the
remaining drives in the array to reconstruct the missing data (the data that was originally on the
replaced drive) and write it to the replacement drive. This process is called automatic data recovery,
or rebuild. If fault tolerance is compromised, this data cannot be reconstructed and is likely to be
permanently lost.
Time required for a rebuild
• The time required for a rebuild varies considerably, depending on several factors:
• The priority that the rebuild is given over normal I/O operations (you can change the priority setting
by using ACU)
• The amount of I/O activity during the rebuild operation
• The rotational speed of the disk drives
• The availability of drive cache
• The model and age of the drives
• The amount of unused capacity on the drives
• The number of drives in the array (for RAID5 and RAID6 with ADG)
Allow approximately 5 minutes per gigabyte without any I/O activity during the rebuild process. This
figure is conservative, and newer drive models usually require less time to rebuild.
System performance is affected during the rebuild, and the system is unprotected against further drive
failure until the rebuild has finished. Therefore, replace drives during periods of low activity when
possible.
CAUTION:
If the Online LED of the replacement drive stops blinking and the amber fault LED glows, or if other
drive LEDs in the array go out, the replacement drive has failed and is producing unrecoverable disk
errors. Remove and replace the failed replacement drive.
When automatic data recovery has finished, the online LED of the replacement drive stops blinking
and begins to glow steadily.
Failure of another drive during rebuild
If a non-correctable read error occurs on another physical drive in the array during the rebuild process,
the Online LED of the replacement drive stops blinking and the rebuild abnormally terminates. If this

situation occurs, restart the server. The system might temporarily become operational long enough to
allow recovery of unsaved data. In any case, locate the faulty drive, replace it, and restore data from
backup.
Handling disk drive failures
If the controller was configured with hardware fault tolerance, complete the following steps after a
disk drive failure:
1. Determine which physical drive failed. On hot-plug drives, an amber drive failure LED illuminates.
2. If the unit containing the failed drive does not support hot-plug drives, perform a normal shutdown.
3. Remove the failed drive and replace it with a drive that is of the same capacity. For hot-plug
drives, after you secure the drive in the bay, the LEDs on the drive each flash once in an alternating
pattern to indicate a successful connection. The online LED flashes, indicating that the controller
recognized the drive replacement and began the recovery process.
4. Power on the server, if applicable.
5. The controller reconstructs the information on the new drive, based on information from the
remaining physical drives in the logical drive. While reconstructing the data on hot-plug drives,
the online LED flashes. When the drive rebuild is complete, the online LED is illuminated.

replaceable. Using WEBES, ISEE or other diagnostic tools, a support specialist will work with you to
diagnose and assess whether a replacement component is required to address a system problem.
The specialist will also help you determine whether you can perform the replacement.
Parts-only warranty service
Your HP Limited Warranty might include a parts-only warranty service. Under the terms of parts-only
warranty service, HP will provide replacement parts free of charge.
For parts-only warranty service, CSR part replacement is mandatory. If you request HP to replace
these parts, you will be charged for travel and labor costs.
Best practices for replacing hardware components
The following information will help you replace the hardware components on your storage system
successfully.
CAUTION:
Removing a component significantly changes the air flow within the enclosure. Components or a
blanking panel must be installed for the enclosure to cool properly. If a component fails, leave it in
place in the enclosure until a new component is available to install.
Verifying component failure
• Consult HP technical support to verify that the hardware component has failed and that you are
authorized to replace it yourself.
• Additional hardware failures can complicate component replacement. Check your management
utilities to detect any additional hardware problems:
• When you have confirmed that a component replacement is required, you might want to clear
the failure message from the display. This makes it easier to identify additional hardware
problems that might occur while waiting for the replacement part.
• Before installing the replacement part, check the management utility for new hardware problems.
If additional hardware problems have occurred, contact HP support before replacing the
component.

Replacing the failed component
CAUTION:
Components can be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD). Use proper anti-static protection.
• Always transport and store components in an ESD protective enclosure.
• Do not remove the components from the ESD protective enclosure until you are ready to install it.
• Always use ESD precautions, such as a wrist strap, heel straps on conductive flooring, and an
ESD protective smock when handling ESD sensitive equipment.
• Avoid touching the components connector pins, leads, or circuitry.
• Do not place ESD generating material such as paper or non anti-static (pink) plastic in an ESD
protective enclosure with ESD sensitive equipment.
• HP recommends waiting until periods of low storage system activity to replace a component.
• When replacing components at the rear of the rack, cabling might obstruct access to the component.
Carefully move any cables out of the way to avoid loosening any connections. In particular, avoid
cable damage that might be caused by:
• Kinking or bending.
• Disconnecting cables without capping. If uncapped, cable performance might be impaired by
contact with dust, metal or other surfaces.
