Chapter 3. Controllers
3.1. Requirements for DE6000H controller replacement
Before you replace a DE6000H controller, review the requirements and
considerations.
Each controller canister contains a controller card, a battery, and an optional host interface card
(HIC).
3.1.1. Procedure overview
When you replace a failed controller canister, you must remove the battery and HIC, if one is
installed, from the original controller canister, and install them in the replacement controller
canister.
•
The second controller canister in the shelf has Optimal status.
•
The OK to remove field in the Details area of the Recovery Guru in ThinkSystem System
Manager displays Yes, indicating that it is safe to remove this component.
You can determine if you have a failed controller canister in two ways:
•
The Recovery Guru in ThinkSystem System Manager directs you to replace the controller
canister.
•
The amber Attention LED on the controller canister is on, indicating that the controller has a
fault.
This procedure applies to IOM12 and IOM12B drive shelves.
This procedure is for like-for-like shelf IOM hot-swaps or replacements. This
means you can only replace an IOM12 module with another IOM12 module or
replace an IOM12B module with another IOM12B module. (Your shelf can have
two IOM12 modules or have two IOM12B modules.)
