Rebuilding Operation in Dell OpenManage Utilities

For the rebuild operation, see your Dell OpenManage™ Array Manager or Dell OMSM documentation.

If the cluster node is rebooted or power to the node is lost while a PERC RAID adapter is rebuilding a shared array, the controller terminates the rebuild operation and identifies the hard drive as failed. This condition also occurs if the rebuild is performed from the PERC RAID adapter BIOS Configuration utility and the user exits the utility before the rebuild completes. This condition occurs with all versions of the PERC RAID adapter firmware on both standard and cluster-enabled controllers.

If the second node in the clustered configuration is turned on, it restarts the operation.

If the rebuild fails to complete due to a system restart, the rebuild must be reinitiated using the PERC RAID adapter BIOS configuration utility or using the Array Manager running under the appropriate Microsoft Windows operating system.

Upgrading the PowerVault 22xS EMM Firmware Using Array Manager

NOTE: Before upgrading the EMM firmware, ensure that all I/O activity is suspended, and shut down the node you will not be working from when you upgrade the EMM firmware. If you do not shut down the second node, the firmware on the EMM attached to that node may not be updated.

NOTE: Use Array Manager version 3.7 or later to perform the following procedure. To download the PowerVault 22xS EMM firmware onto a cluster node:

1Download the latest EMM firmware from the Dell Support website (located at support.dell.com) to your hard drive or to a diskette.

2Shut down node B.

3Stop all I/O activity on node A.

4Launch the Array Manager Console from node A by clicking the Start button and selecting Programs→ Dell OpenManage Applications→ Array Manager→ Array Manager console.

5In the Arrays directory, select PERC Subsystem 1→ PERC RAID Adapter Controller x <Cluster>→ <Channel 0> or <Channel 1>.

where x indicates the number associated with the controller on the system. Select the channel (0 or 1) to which the enclosure is attached.

6If you downloaded the EMM firmware to a diskette, ensure that the diskette is inserted.

7Right-click the enclosure icon for the desired channel, and select Download Firmware.

You can also click the channel number and select Download Firmware from the Task Menu.

8From the Firmware Download dialog box, click Browse and navigate to the EMM firmware that you downloaded to your hard drive or diskette.
