Complete adding SAS expansion card
You complete the SAS expansion card addition by placing the controller online and confirming
that the storage array is working correctly. Then, you can collect support data and resume
operations.
Steps
1. Plug in power cables to place the controller online.
2. As the controller boots, check the controller LEDs.
• The amber Attention LED remains on.
• The Host Link LEDs might be on, blinking, or off, depending on the host interface.
3. When the controller is back online, confirm that its status is Optimal and check the controller
shelf’s Attention LEDs.
If the status is not Optimal or if any of the Attention LEDs are on, confirm that all cables are
correctly seated and the controller canister is installed correctly. If necessary, remove and
reinstall the controller canister.
Note: If you cannot resolve the problem, contact technical support.
4. Click Support > Upgrade Center to ensure that the latest version of SANtricity OS is
installed.
As needed, install the latest version.
5. Verify that all volumes have been returned to the preferred owner.
a. Select Storage > Volumes. If current owner and preferred owner are not listed select All
volumes > Columns. Select current owner and preferred owner then recheck to verify that
volumes are distributed to their perferred owners.
b. If volumes are all owned by preferred owner continue to Step 6.
c. If none of the volumes are returned, you must manually return the volumes. Go to Storage
> Volumes > More > Redistribute volumes.
d. If only some of the volumes are returned to their preferred owners after auto-distribution or
manual distribution you must check the recovery guru for host connectivity issues.
