Replacing a Service Disk Backplane
A service disk backplane provides power and data transmission channels for disks.
Impact on the System
Prerequisites
- The replacement service disk backplane is ready.
- You have obtained the OceanStor 9000 V5 Version Mapping and OceanStor 9000 V5 Node Firmware Upgrade Guide of the corresponding version.
NOTE:
You can log in to http://support.huawei.com/enterprise/, choose , and click the product model to go to the document page of the product. Then, click Downloads tab page. On the Downloads tab page, click the version that you need download, the download page is displayed. And then download the documents.
Tools and Materials
- Flat-head screwdrivers
- Electrostatic discharge (ESD) gloves
- ESD wrist straps
- ESD bags
- Labels
Procedure
- Wear an ESD wrist strap or ESD gloves.
- Use the KVM to log in to the operating system of the node, enter user name root and its password (default: Root@storage), and run poweroff command to power off the node.
Wait until the KVM has no output. The power-off is complete.
- Remove all power cables and external signal cables.
- Remove the storage node from the enclosure.
NOTE:
- When removing the storage node, you can first remove disk modules to lighten the storage node. For details about how to remove a disk module, see 2 in Replacing a Service Disk Module.
- Place the removed disk modules on an ESD-free operating platform in sequence and label them.
- Slide the storage node out of the cabinet, as shown in step 1 in Figure 2-31.
- Press the baffle plate and slide the server out of enclosure, as shown in step 2 in Figure 2-31.
- Remove the disk module. For details, see 2 in Replacing a Service Disk Module.
Correctly record the mapping between the disk modules and slots. Ensure that disk modules are inserted into the same slots before and after the removal. Otherwise, services may be affected.
- Remove the enclosure cover.
- Optional: Remove the riser card tray. For details, see 6 in Replacing a Riser Card.
NOTE:
If the configured riser card is with full height and full length, remove the riser card tray first.
- Take out the air duct, as shown in Figure 2-33.
- Remove the fan module. For details, see 6 in Replacing a Fan Module.
- Press and hold down the latches on both sides of a fan support, and lift the fan support, as shown in steps 1 and 2 in Figure 2-34.
- Remove cables that connect the service disk backplane.
- Press and open the locks on the rear backplane. Vertically lift the rear backplane to the limit and pull it out in the arrow direction to remove it, as shown in step 1 in Figure 2-35.
NOTE:
Pictures of the backplane on a P25E node are used as an example. The method to remove the backplane of a P12E node is the same even though its latches are at the bottom.
- Place the removed hard disk backplane in an ESD bag.
- Take the spare front hard disk backplane out of its ESD bag.
- Hook the hard disk backplane, and push it in the arrow direction until the latch is locked and it does not move. See Figure 2-36.
- Connect the cables for the service disk backplane.
- Put the fan support into the enclosure, as shown in Figure 2-37.
- Install the fan module. For details, see 9 in Replacing a Fan Module.
- Align the positioning pins on the air duct with the fixing holes on the mainboard by following the instructions on the enclosure, and vertically place the air duct downwards, as shown in Figure 2-38.
- Optional: Install the riser card tray. For details, see 12 in Replacing a Riser Card.
NOTE:
If the configured riser card is with full height and full length, install the riser card tray.
- Install the disk module. For details, see 5 in Replacing a Service Disk Module.
Ensure that disk modules are inserted into the same slots before and after the removal. Otherwise, services may be affected.
- Install the enclosure cover.
- Put the storage node into the cabinet.
- Align the securing holes in the inner rails with the positioning pins on the storage node, and secure the inner rails to the storage node, as shown in step 1 in Figure 2-40.
- Align the inner rails with the holding rails, and push the storage node into the holding rails, as shown in step 2 in Figure 2-40.
- Ensure that the storage node is horizontally installed and screwed.
- Connect the storage node to the power sockets and peripheral devices according to the cable connection labels. Then power on the storage node.
- Check whether the backplane is successfully replaced.
- If the disks are powered on properly and the disk indicators are steady on, the backplane is successfully replaced.
- If the disk indicators are off, the backplane fails to be replaced. Install it again or contact technical support.
- Upgrade the firmware and the CPLD firmware of a service disk backplane.
- Upgrade the firmware of the service disk backplane. For detail, see OceanStor 9000 V5 Expander Firmware Upgrade Guide. To obtain this guide, decompress the OceanStor 9000 V5 Node Firmware Upgrade Guide package.
- Upgrade the CPLD firmware of the service disk backplane. Upgrade the CPLD firmware of the service disk backplane to the version which required in OceanStor 9000 V5 Version Mapping by referring to the Upgrading the Backplane CPLD Firmware section in PANGEA Firmware Upgrade Guide. To obtain this guide, decompress the OceanStor 9000 V5 Node Firmware Upgrade Guide package.
- Inspect the system using SmartKit. Choose to check the system status. For details, see the OceanStor 9000 V5 Routine Maintenance.
- If all inspection items are successful: The inspection is successful.
- If some inspection items fail the inspection: The inspection is failed. Rectify the faults by taking recommended actions in the inspection reports. You need to reperform inspection after rectifying. If the inspection is still failed, contact Huawei technical support.
