v Reduce the weight of the rack cabinet by removing equipment starting at thetop of the rack cabinet. When possible, restore the rack cabinet to theconfiguration of the rack cabinet as you received it. If this configuration is notknown, you must do the following:

– Remove all devices in the 32U position and above.

– Ensure that the heaviest devices are installed in the bottom of the rackcabinet.

– Ensure that there are no empty U-levels between devices installed in therack cabinet below the 32U level.

– If the rack cabinet you are relocating is part of a suite of rack cabinets,detach the rack cabinet from the suite.

– Inspect the route that you plan to take when moving the rack to eliminatepotential hazards.

– Verify that the route that you choose can support the weight of the loadedrack cabinet. Refer to the documentation that came with your rack cabinetfor the weight of a loaded rack cabinet.

– Verify that all door openings are at least 760 x 2030 mm (30 x 80 in.).

– Ensure that all devices, shelves, drawers, doors, and cables are secure.

– Ensure that the four leveling pads are raised to their highest position.

– Ensure that there is no stabilizer bracket installed on the rack cabinetduring movement.

– Do not use a ramp inclined at more than ten degrees.

– Once the rack cabinet is in the new location, do the following:

- Lower the four leveling pads.

- Install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet.

- If you removed any devices from the rack cabinet, repopulate the rackcabinet from the lowest position to the highest position.

– If a long distance relocation is required, restore the rack cabinet to theconfiguration of the rack cabinet as you received it. Pack the rack cabinet inthe original packaging material, or equivalent. Also, lower the levelingpads to raise the casters off of the pallet and bolt the rack cabinet to thepallet.

Terminology and conventions used in this documentThis guide uses the following terminology, command conventions, formatconventions and keyboard conventions.

In this document, the term gateway describes IBM N series storage systems thathave been ordered with gateway functionality. Gateways support various types ofstorage, and they are used with third-party disk storage systems. In this case, diskstorage for customer data and the RAID controller functionality is provided by theback-end disk storage system. A gateway might also be used with disk storageexpansion units specifically designed for the IBM N series models.

The term filer describes IBM N series storage systems that either contain internaldisk storage or attach to disk storage expansion units specifically designed for theIBM N series storage systems. Filer storage systems do not support usingthird-party disk storage systems.

The terms system or storage system refer to either a gateway by itself or a filer,either by itself or with additional disk drives.

Active/active and high-availability termsactive/active configuration

In the Data ONTAP 7.2 and 7.3 release families, refers to a pair of storagesystems (sometimes called nodes) configured to serve data for each other ifone of the two systems stops functioning. Also sometimes referred to asactive/active pairs.

clusterIn the Data ONTAP 7.1 release family, refers to a pair of storage systems(sometimes called nodes) configured to serve data for each other if one ofthe two systems stops functioning. In Data ONTAP 8.x 7-Mode, a cluster isa group of connected nodes (storage systems) that share a globalnamespace and that you can manage as a single virtual server or multiplevirtual servers, providing performance, reliability, and scalability benefits.

HA (high availability)In Data ONTAP 8.x 7-Mode, the recovery capability provided by a pair ofnodes (storage systems), called an HA pair, that are configured to servedata for each other if one of the two nodes stops functioning.

HA pairIn Data ONTAP 8.x, a pair of nodes (storage systems) configured to servedata for each other if one of the two nodes stops functioning.

Storage termsACP Alternate Control Path is a protocol that enables Data ONTAP to manage

and control the storage expansion unit storage subsystem using a separatenetwork from the data path, so management communication is notdependent on the data path being intact and available.

AT-FCXThe controller module of the EXN1000 serial advanced technologyattachment (SATA) storage expansion unit.

Chapter 1. Preparing for the installation 3

Handling static-sensitive devices

CAUTION:This system uses electronic components that are sensitive to static electricity.Static discharge from your clothing or other fixtures around you can damagethese components. Put on an antistatic ESD strap and grounding leash to freeyourself of static electricity before touching any electronic components.

Attention: Static electricity can damage electronic devices and your system. Toavoid damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their static-protective packages untilyou are ready to install them.

To reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge (ESD), observe the followingprecautions: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 its 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 static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted

metal part of the system unit for at least two seconds. This drains staticelectricity from the package and from your body.

v Remove the device from its package and install it directly into your system unitwithout setting it down. If it is necessary to set the device down, place it in itsstatic-protective package. Do not place the device on your system unit cover oron a metal table. Take additional care when handling devices during coldweather because heating reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity.

Planning and organizing the installationThis section identifies the shipment contents and the rules and regulations youneed to observe for the proper installation of your system. It also provides anoverview of the entire system installation process and the appropriatedocumentation references for the procedures.

For detailed information, see the following topics:v “Hardware specifications” on page 5v “Checking shipment package contents” on page 8v “Rules for installing the system in a rack” on page 9v “Guide to the installation process” on page 10

Chapter 2. Connecting an N6200 series system

This chapter describes how to connect an N6200 series system in the followingtopics:v “Handling fiber-optic cables”v “Connecting your system to a power source”v “Connecting your system to an IP network” on page 14v “Connecting your system to storage” on page 15v “Connecting your system to an ASCII terminal console” on page 20

Handling fiber-optic cablesBefore you use fiber-optic cables, read the following precautions.

Attention: To avoid damage to the fiber-optic cables, follow these guidelines:v Do not route the cable along a folding cable-management arm.v When attaching to a device on slide rails, leave enough slack in the cable so that

it does not bend to a radius of less than 38 mm (1.5 in.) when extended orbecome pinched when retracted.

v Route the cable away from places where it can be snagged by other devices inthe rack cabinet.

v Do not overtighten the cable straps or bend the cables to a radius of less than 38mm (1.5 in.).

v Do not put excess weight on the cable at the connection point. Be sure that thecable is well supported.

CAUTION:Data processing environments can contain equipment transmitting onsystem links with laser modules that operate at greater than Class 1 powerlevels. For this reason, never look into the end of an optical fiber cable oropen receptacle.

Connecting your system to a power sourceThe N6200 series systems are shipped with redundant power supplies, referred toas PSU1 and PSU2. Each power supply has its own AC power cord. You shouldhave separate circuit breakers for each power supply to ensure power redundancy.

For information on connecting your N6200 series system to a power source, see theInstallation and Setup Instructions that came with your system.


1 Controller module

2 I/O expansion module

Configuring the Fibre Channel portEach N6200 series system controller module provides two independent FibreChannel ports, identified as 0c and 0d. SFPs must be firmly seated in all four portsbefore connecting cables.

The Fibre Channel ports can operate in target or initiator mode. Fibre Channelports do not support mixed initiator/target mode. The default mode for the portsis initiator mode. You do not need to configure the ports to use them in initiatormode.

The Fibre Channel ports should be used in initiator mode to communicate withtape backup devices, such as in a TapeSAN backup configuration.

Fibre Channel ports on HBAs cannot be configured in target mode. They can onlybe used in initiator mode.

Configuring for initiator modeTo configure the system back to initiator mode, complete the following steps.1. Set the specified onboard ports to operate in initiator mode by entering the

following command:fcadmin config -t initiator adapter

where adapter is the port number. You can specify more than one port.


Example: The following example sets onboard ports 0c and 0d to initiatormode.fcadmin config -t initiator 0c 0d

2. Reboot the system by entering the following command:reboot

3. Verify that the Fibre Channel ports are online and configured in the correctstate for your configuration by entering the following command:fcadmin config

Example: The following output example shows two ports configured as FibreChannel targets and two ports configured as initiators.n6000a> fcadmin config

Replacing an NVMEM battery and NVMEM DIMMs in an N6200 seriessystem

To replace an NVMEM battery or NVMEM DIMMs in the system, you mustcomplete a specific sequence of tasks.

About this taskv This procedure refers to HA pairs, which in releases prior to Data ONTAP 8.0

were called active/active configurations.v All other components in the system must be functioning properly; if not,

contact technical support.

Shutting down the nodeYou shut down a node using different procedures, depending on whether it is astand-alone system or part of an HA pair.

Shutting down a node in an HA pairTo shut down the node, you must determine the status of the node and, ifnecessary, take over the node so that the partner continues to serve data from thenode's storage.

Before you begin

Note: If your system has two controller modules in the same chassis, you mustleave the power supplies turned on at the end of this procedure to providepower to the partner node.

Procedure1. Check the status of the target node (the node you want to perform maintenance

on) by entering the cf status command at the system console of either node.2. Take one of the following actions, depending on the result of the cf status

command:


If... Then...

Neither node is in takeover mode Go to the next step in this procedure.

The partner node took over the target node The target node is in a state where you canbegin removing it from the system chassis.

Continue with "Opening the System."

The target node took over the partner node 1. Correct the problem that caused thetakeover.

2. Run the cf giveback command from thetarget node console.

3. Go back to the beginning of thisprocedure.

3. Take over the target node by entering the cf takeover command from thepartner node's console.

4. Continue with "Opening the System."

Shutting down the node in a stand-alone systemFor a node that is in a stand-alone configuration, you must perform a cleanshutdown (ensuring that all data has been written to disk) and disconnect thepower supplies.

Procedure1. Enter the halt command from the system console.

Attention: You must perform a clean system shutdown before replacingsystem components to avoid losing unwritten data in the nonvolatile memory(NVMEM). The NVMEM LED is located on the controller module to the rightof the network ports, marked with a battery symbol. If the NVMEM LED isflashing, there is content in the NVMEM that has not been saved to disk. Youneed to reboot the controller module and proceed from the beginning of thisprocedure. If repeated attempts to cleanly shut down the controller module fail,be aware that you might lose any data that was not saved to disk.

Appendix A. Recommended power line sizes

This appendix discusses how to determine the power line lengths running fromyour N series system to the power source.

Recommended AC power line sizesLonger AC power feeds need to be properly designed to preserve voltage levels tothe equipment. The wiring from the breaker panel to the power strip, whichsupplies power to your N6200 series system and storage expansion units, can oftenexceed 50 feet.

Note: Total AC wire length = breaker to wall or ceiling outlet + extension cable orceiling drop.
