The latest versions of these documents, including localized versions, can be found at: http://www.hp.com/support/StoreVirtualManuals For detailed configuration information related to the HP 4630 system in Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) configurations, see the HP Converged Infrastructure Reference Architecture for VMware View at http://www.hp.com/go/vdi.
2 Backing up HP 4630 system configurations HP recommends that you back up all HP 4630 system components for safekeeping after initially powering on the HP 4630 system, and immediately after making changes to an existing configuration or replacing a component. You must back up each component (for example, the VC Flex- 1 0 module) separately.
If you are replacing both SAS switches, you must restore the configuration from a backup captured using the VSM CLI. For information about backing up and restoring the SAS configuration using the VSM CLI, see the HP Virtual SAS Manager User Guide.
3 Maintaining the HP 4630 system This chapter provides information to troubleshoot, upgrade, and recover the HP 4630 system. Troubleshooting For detailed troubleshooting information about the HP 4630 system components, see the documents listed in Table 1 (page 13). Table 1 Component troubleshooting information...
Controller. Locating the HP 4630 system warranty entitlement labels You must locate and identify the serial number on the HP 4630 system components to obtain service under the warranty. If the storage blade is powered on and accessible from the CMC, select Diagnostics and go to the Hardware information panel.
Request the license key The easiest way to enter the license key into the HP 4630 system is by using a USB flash drive. You may also enter in the license key if you do not have a USB flash drive.

Enter the license key if prompted. You have three attempts to correctly enter a valid HP license key. If all three attempts are unsuccessful, restart the process with Step Finish the LeftHand OS software imaging.
Install the CMC from the HP StoreVirtual Management Software DVD. Open the CMC, and use the wizards on the Getting Started Launch Pad to begin using the HP 4630 storage system. If the storage system was part of a management group and contained valid data, perform the following steps to recover data from the disk enclosure: Connect to the storage blade using iLO or the USB dongle connected to the storage blade.
Before powering on the new disk enclosure, connect SAS cables from the disk enclosure to the 6G SAS BL switches. Power on the new disk enclosure. Using the Virtual SAS Manager, create a zone using all drives in the new disk enclosure. To identify the disk enclosure, use the switch port number connected to the disk enclosure.

External fans Power supplies Storage blade disk drives All other HP 4630 system components are not hot-pluggable. You must first power down the device before replacing a part. CAUTION: To prevent losing access to data during any maintenance operation on components...
The HP 4630 system should handle a single blade failure for an extended period of time without loss of data or lost access to the data. The cluster, however, will remain in a degraded state until the replacement blade is functioning.
The memory size of the replacement blade is a minimum of 64 GB or larger. The HP Smart Array P721m controller card with cache module is in place. The HP Smart Array P220i controller card with cache module is in place.
Insert two replacement drives. Reinstall the storage blade by following the quick restore instructions, see “Performing field system recovery of the HP 4630 storage system” (page 15). CAUTION: After performing field recovery, do not reconfigure RAID using the CMC. Instead, log in to TUI using iLO and select Initiate OS Recovery.

Replacing the VC Flex- 1 0 or HP VC FlexFabric module CAUTION: Be sure to update the firmware on the new VC Flex- 1 0 or HP VC FlexFabric module. This operation will take the volumes offline. Removing and replacing the HP 4630 system components...
“Backing up HP 4630 system configurations” (page 11). Replacing the SAS switch This section provides instructions for removing and replacing the HP 6Gb SAS BL switch in the HP 4630 system. IMPORTANT: If a SAS switch fails, storage access continues through the remaining SAS switch.
35). 12. Power on the disk enclosures. Using the HP Virtual SAS Manager, verify the status of each disk enclosure and the zone status. Ensure that the HP Virtual SAS Manager is not reporting any warnings or errors. 13. Power on the storage blades.
Reconnect the SAS cables. Power on the disk enclosure. Using the HP Virtual SAS Manager, verify the status of the disk enclosures and zones: Ensure that both I/O modules are running the same firmware version. If not, upgrade the firmware to the latest version.
CMC shows the RAID status as off, you must use the Repair Storage System feature after replacing the failed drives and before adding the storage system to the management group or cluster. See “Using Repair Storage System” in the HP StoreVirtual Storage User Guide or the HP StoreVirtual Storage Online Help for more information.

If either of the following issues occur, you must use the Repair Storage System feature and reconfigure the RAID before adding the storage system to the management group. See “Using Repair Storage System” in the HP StoreVirtual Storage User Guide or the HP StoreVirtual Storage Online Help for more information.
