|Installing and cabling disk shelves with IOM12 modules for a new system installation|
5. Set the shelf IDs and complete system setup:
You must set shelf IDs so they are unique within the HA pair or single-controller configuration, including
the internal disk shelf in HX2000 systems.
If... Then...
You are manually setting shelf IDs
a. Access the shelf ID button behind the left end
cap.
b. Change the shelf ID to a unique ID (00 through
99).
c. Power-cycle the disk shelf to make the shelf ID
take effect.
Wait at least 10 seconds before turning the
power back on to complete the power cycle. The
shelf ID blinks and the operator display panel
amber LED blinks until you power cycle the disk
shelf.
d. Power on the controllers and complete system
setup and configuration as instructed by the
“Installation and Setup Instructions” that came
with your system.
You are automatically assigning all shelf IDs in your
HA pair or single-controller configuration
Note: Shelf IDs are assigned in sequential order
from 00-99. If you have HX2000 series system, shelf
ID assignment begins with the internal disk shelf.
a. Power on the controllers.
b. As the controllers start booting, press Ctrl-C
to abort the AUTOBOOT process when you see
the message Starting AUTOBOOT press
Ctrl-C to abort.
Note: If you miss the prompt and the
controllers boot to ETERNUS AX/HX Series, halt
both controllers, and then boot both controllers
to the boot menu by entering boot_ETERNUS
AX/HX Series menu at their LOADER
prompt.
c. Boot one controller to Maintenance
mode:boot_ETERNUS AX/HX Series
menu
You only need to assign shelf IDs on one
controller.
d. From the boot menu, select option 5 for
Maintenance mode.
e. Automatically assign shelf IDs: sasadmin
expander_set_shelf_id -a
f. Exit Maintenance mode:halt
g. Bring up the system by entering the following
command at the LOADER prompt of both
controllers:boot_ETERNUS AX/HX Series
Shelf IDs appear in disk shelf digital display
windows.
Note: Before you boot the system, best practice
is to take this opportunity to verify cabling is
correct, a root aggregate is present, and run
system-level diagnostics to identify any faulty
components.
h. Complete system setup and configuration
as instructed by the “Installation and Setup
Instructions” that came with your system.
