(2) Attention LED (amber)
(3) Seven-segment display
3.
From ThinkSystem System Manager, confirm that the controller’s status is Optimal.
If the status is not Optimal or if any of the Attention LEDs are on, confirm that all cables are
correctly seated, and check that the HIC and the controller canister are installed correctly. If
necessary, remove and reinstall the controller canister and the HIC.
If you cannot resolve the problem, contact technical support.
4.
If the new HIC ports require SFP+ transceivers, install these SFPs.
5.
Connect the cables from the controller’s host ports to the data hosts.
6.3.7. What’s next?
The process of upgrading a host interface card in your storage array is complete. You can resume
normal operations.
6.4. Replace DE6000H host interface card (HIC)
You can replace a host interface card (HIC) that has failed.
About this task
When you replace a HIC, you place the controller offline (for duplex configurations), remove the
controller canister, install the new HIC, and then replace the controller canister.
Before you begin
•
Review
Requirements for DE6000H HIC replacement.
•
Schedule a downtime maintenance window for this procedure. The power must be off when
you install HICs, so you cannot access data on the storage array until you have successfully
completed this procedure. (In a duplex configuration, both controllers must have the same HIC
configuration when they are powered on.)
•
Verify that no volumes are in use or that you have a multipath driver installed on all hosts using
these volumes.
•
From ThinkSystem System Manager, verify the details in the Recovery Guru to confirm that you
have a failed HIC and to ensure no other items must be addressed before you can remove and
replace the HIC.
What you’ll need
•
Two HICs that are compatible with your controllers.
For duplex configurations (two controllers), the HICs installed in the two controller canisters
must be identical. The presence of mismatched HICs causes the controller with the
