Verifying Component Failure - HP P6000 Replacement Instructions

• Ensure that the backup configuration settings and correct firmware
version of the iSCSI or iSCSI/FCoE module are available to restore
or install in a replacement controller. Attempt to save a backup of
your iSCSI or iSCSI/FCoE module configuration file, as noted in this
document, if you have not previously done so.
• Alloy (gray)-colored latches on components like the controller means
the component is warm-swappable. Halt the I/O of the failing con-
troller with HP P6000 Command View before removing this compon-
ent. See "Halting I/O on the failing
• There are two controllers at the rear of the controller enclosure. See
Figure 1 for the locations.

Saving the iSCSI or iSCSI/FCoE module's
persistent data
NOTE:
HP recommends that you save the iSCSI or iSCSI/FCoE module's
persistent data periodically to avoid data loss from hardware
or software errors.
Be sure to save the configuration information from each iSCSI
or iSCSI/FCoE module before you replace either controller.
Document each of the iSCSI or iSCSI/FCoE telnet management
port's static or dynamic (DHCP) IP addresses; they will be
needed when configuring the replacement controller.
To save the iSCSI or iSCSI/FCoE module configuration, use HP P6000
Command View:
1. In the Navigation pane, select Hardware > iSCSI Devices > iSCSI
Controller 01.
2. Select Set Options.
3. Select Save/Restore configuration.
4. Select either Save Configuration or Full Configuration Restore.
5. Save the iSCSIContrConfig0001.tgz file.
NOTE:
When prompted to save the file, use a unique file name
that includes the controller number, and it is suggested
the file be saved to a unique array-named folder.
6. In the Navigation pane, select Hardware > iSCSI Devices > iSCSI
Controller 02.
7. Repeat steps 2 through 5 for the other iSCSI or iSCSI/FCoE module.

Verifying component failure

Use the following methods to verify component failure:
• Analyze any failure messages received. HP Insight Remote Support
provides a recommended fault monitoring solution.
• Check status using HP P6000 Command View:
1. In the navigation pane, select Storage system > Hardware >
Controller Enclosure and then select a controller.
The status is displayed in the Condition/State field. An opera-
tional state of
a replacement.
2.
To check the status of the iSCSI or iSCSI/FCoE module, in the
navigation pane, select Storage system > Hardware > iSCSI
Devices and then select a controller in the iSCSI Controller
Properties window. The states are: not installed, good, attention
required, failed, and unknown.
3. To help identify the correct controller, click Locate > Locate On.
This causes the blue UID indicator to light on the controller
module at the rear of the controller enclosure.
• For information about failures or degraded performance with the
iSCSI or iSCSI/FCoE module, see the HP P6300/P6500 Enterprise
Virtual Array User Guide. To obtain this guide, go to
www.hp.com/support/manuals, click Disk Storage Systems in the
storage section, and select your model under P6000/EVA Disk Ar-
rays.
• Check the controller status LEDs as shown in

Indication
Blue LED identifies a specific controller
within the enclosure and the iSCSI or iSC-
SI/FCoE module within the controller.
Green LED indicates controller health. LED
flashes green during boot and becomes
solid green after boot.
Flashing amber indicates a controller termin-
ation, or the system is inoperative and at-
tention is required. Solid amber indicates
that the controller cannot reboot, and that
the controller should be replaced. If both
the solid amber and solid blue LEDs are lit,
the controller has completed a warm remov-
al procedure, and can be safely swapped.
