IBM DS3200 Storage Subsystem manual Installing an optional SAS host port adapter

19.Check the LEDs on the new controller to make sure that the controller is fully operational.

20.Use the DS3000 Storage Manager Subsystem Management window to check the status of all components in the storage subsystem.

vIf the new controller is online and the DS3000 Storage Manager Subsystem Management window indicates normal operation, go to step 23.

vIf the new controller is online and the DS3000 Storage Manager Subsystem Management window indicates a problem status, go to “Troubleshooting the storage subsystem” on page 51.

vIf the new controller is offline, continue with step 21.

21.If the newly inserted controller is in an offline state, see the DS3000 Storage Manager online help for instructions on bringing the controller online. If necessary, open the DS3000 Storage Manager Subsystem Management window and place the controller online; select the offline controller and click Advanced → Recovery → Place controller online.

22.Verify the state of the LEDs on the newly inserted controller. See “Controller LEDs” on page 53. You can also use the DS3000 Storage Manager Subsystem Management window to identify any new faults. Do any storage subsystems have a fault (Needs Attention) status?

vYes: Click Recovery Guru in the Subsystem Management window toolbar, and complete the recovery procedure. If the problem remains, contact your IBM technical-support representative.

vNo: Go to step 23.

23.Use the DS3000 Storage Manager software to print a new storage subsystem profile.

Installing an optional SAS host port adapter

Note: The DS3200 SAS 2-Port Daughter Card option is referred to in this document as host port adapter.

This section explains how to install an optional SAS host port adapter into a controller.

Attention: If you install a host port adapter in a controller, you must make sure that an identical host port adapter is installed in the other controller on the DS3200, for correct operation of the controllers.

The SAS host port adapter adds two additional host ports to the controller.

To install a SAS host port adapter, complete the following steps.

Attention: To prevent data loss, you must shut down the storage subsystem before you remove the controller from the chassis. For the correct shutdown sequence, see “Turning off the storage subsystem” on page 55.

1.Read the safety information that begins on page xi and “Best practices guidelines” on page 6.

2.Turn off the storage subsystem (see “Turning off the storage subsystem” on page 55).

3.Disconnect the cables that are connected to the controller.
