d. Review the status of the configuration components shown in the Subsystem
Management window by selecting the applicable component button for each
storage subsystem.
8. Are the LEDs indicating normal operation, and is the status Optimal on all the
configuration components?
v Yes — End of procedure.
v No — Go to step 9.
9. Diagnose and correct the fault by completing the following steps.
a. Run the DS Storage Manager Recovery Guru by selecting the Recovery
Guru toolbar button in the Subsystem Management window.
b. Complete the recovery procedure.
If the Recovery Guru directs you to replace a failed component, use the
individual LEDs on the storage subsystem to locate the specific failed
component. For troubleshooting procedures, see Chapter 6, “Hardware
maintenance,” on page 157.
c. When the recovery procedure is completed, select Recheck in the Recovery
Guru. This action reruns the Recovery Guru to make sure that the problem
has been corrected.
d. If the problem persists, contact your IBM service representative.
Installing the DS Storage Manager client
Depending on the controller firmware version for your subsystem, refer to the
following guides for instructions to install the DS Storage Manager software:
v IBM System Storage DS Storage Manager Version 10 Installation and Host
Support Guide (for storage subsystems with controller firmware version earlier
than 7.8x.xx.xx)
v IBM System Storage DS Storage Manager Version 10.8 Installation and Host
Support Guide (for storage subsystems with controller firmware version
7.8x.xx.xx or later)
Use that document and the online help to configure the logical drives, partitions,
and so on for the RAID controllers. Use your operating system documentation to
make the new logical drives accessible to the operating system. Do not proceed
with the configuration setup until you have completed the DS Storage Manager
installation.
Assemble any additional items in preparation for software installation. These items
might include the following:
v HBA drivers
v Controller firmware version listed at the IBM System Storage Support Web site:
http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/storage/disk
v IP addresses for RAID controllers (for in-band management only)
v Additional documentation for switches and HBAs, if needed
v Applicable host kit for your operating system, which includes the DS Storage
Manager DVD containing the applicable Storage Manager version and storage
subsystem controller firmware.
Depending on the DS5020 configuration you purchased, your DS5020 will ship
with either the Microsoft Windows host software attachment kit or with your
choice of host software kits (Windows, AIX, Linux, Netware, SUN Solaris, HP-UX,
Linux on POWER, or VMware). The host software kit grants you permission to
