vA storage subsystem in an optimal state should recover automatically from an unexpected shutdown and unattended simultaneous restoration of power to system components. After power is restored, call your IBM technical-support representative if any of the following conditions occur:

The storage subsystem logical drives and subsystems are not displayed in the DS3000 Storage Manager Version 2 graphical user interface.

The storage subsystem logical drives and subsystems do not come online.

The storage subsystem logical drives and subsystems seem to be degraded.

Storage subsystem components

The storage subsystem has the following removable components. These components, called customer replaceable units (CRUs), are accessible from the front or rear of the storage subsystem.

vUp to twelve 3 Gbps SAS or SATA hard disk drives

vUp to two RAID controllers

vTwo power supplies

Disk drives and bezels

Figure 2 shows the locations of hot-swap disk drives and bezels. The hot-swap features enable you to remove and replace SAS or SATA hard disk drives, power supplies, and controllers (in a dual-controller storage subsystem) without turning off the storage subsystem. You can maintain the availability of the storage subsystem while you remove, install, or replace a hot-swap device.

The hot-swap drive bays that are accessible from the front of the storage subsystem are shown in Figure 2.

Hot-swap hard disk drive

You can install up to 12 hot-swap SAS or SATA hard disk drives in the

DS32000.

Filler panel

The DS3200 comes with filler panels in the drive bays. Before you install a hard disk drive, remove the filler panel and save it for future use. Each of the 12 drive bays must contain either a filler panel or a hard disk drive.
