1.2 Limitations
----------------
IMPORTANT:
The listed limitations are cumulative. However, they are listed by the
DS4000 storage subsystem controller firmware and Storage Manager host
software releases to indicate which controller firmware and Storage
Manager host software release that they were first seen and documented.
New limitations with Storage Manager Installer (SMIA) package version
09.19.xx.06 release.
1. Can not increase the capacity of RAID arrays.
RAID arrays with certain combinations of selected segment size and
number of drives that made up the arrays will exceed the available
working space in controller dacstore, causing a reconfiguration request
(like expanding the capacity of the array) to be denied. These
combinations are generally the largest segment size (512KB) with the
number of drives in the array is 15 drives or more. There is no
work-around. C324144 105008
2. Interoperability problem between the Tachyon DX2 chip in the DS4500 and
the DS4300 storage subsystem controllers and the Emulex SOC 422 chip in
the EXP810 expansion enclosure ESMs causing up to 5 Fibre Channel loop
type errors to be posted in the DS4000 storage subsystem Major Event Log
during a 24 hour period. There is a small window in the SOC 422 chip
that multiple devices can be opened at one time. This ultimately leads
to Fibre Channel loop errors of Fibre Channel link up/down, Drive
returned CHECK CONDITION, and Timeout on drive side of controller. IBM
recommends the use of the Read-Link-Status function to monitor drive loop
for any problems in the drive loop/channel. There is no work-around.
3. The single digit of the Enclosure IDs for all enclosures (including the
DS4000 storage subsystem with internal drive slots) in a given redundant
drive loop/channel pair must be unique. For example, with four
enclosures attached to the DS4300, the correct enclosure ID settings
should be x1, x2, x3, and x4 (where x can be any digit that can be set).
Examples of incorrect settings would be 11, 21, 31, and 41 or 12, 22,
32, and 62. These examples are incorrect because the x1 digits are the
same in all enclosure IDs (either 1 or 2).
If you do not set the single digit of the enclosure IDs to be unique
among enclosures in a redundant drive loop/channel pair, then drive
loop/channel errors might be randomly posted in the DS4000 subsystem
Major Event Log (MEL), especially in the cases where the DS4300 storage
substems are connected to EXP810s and EXP100s. In additon, enclosure IDs
with same single digits in a redundant drive loop/channel pair will
cause the DS4000 subsystem controller to assign a soft AL_PA address to
devices in the redundant drive loop/channel pair. The problem with soft
AL_PA addressing is that AL_PA address assignment can change between
LIPs. This possibility increases the difficulty of troubleshooting drive
loop problems because it is difficult to ascertain whether the same
device with a different address or a different device might be causing a
problem.
4. If a DS4000 subsystem undergoes any operation that causes the controller
to reset and go through the start-of-day boot process while you are
attempting to add hardware, drives, or logical drives associated with
the controller, the controller will send alert event notifications to
the DS4000 subsystem Major Event Log (MEL) Log. The events indicate that
the drives or the logical drives are offline or failed. The event
notifications in the MEL Log are expected during the time that the
controller is going through a boot process. The workaround is to wait
at least 10 minutes after the controller reset is complete before moving
logical drives or adding hardware. Use the DS4000 subsystem MEL to
verify the time of the last controller reset event.
5. In the DS4300 and DS4500 Installation, User's and Maintenance guides,
there are references that might mislead the user into thinking that IBM
does not support partially-filled storage expansion enclosures or
storage subsystems. IBM does support partially-filled storage expansion
enclosures or storage subsystems as long as at least two drives are
installed in the storage expansion or subsystem enclosures. However, IBM
does not support partially-filled storage expansion enclosures or storage
subsystems where the empty slots are required to keep the number of hard
drives in the redundant drive loop/channel pair not exceeding the maximum
of 112 drives per drive loop/channel. This is to prevent inadvertently
inserting drives in those slots causing the controller of getting into
the state that might result in lost of access to the storage subsystem.
6. In DS4000 storage subsystem configurations with controller firmware
6.15.2x.xx and higher installed, the performance of write intense
workloads such as sequential Tape restores to DS4000 Logical drives with
large I/O request sizes (e.g. 256kB) is degraded if the DS4000 logical
drives are created with small segment sizes such as 8KB or 16KB. The
work around is to create the DS4000 logical drives with segment size of
64KB or higher.
Limitations with Storage Manager Installer (SMIA) package version
09.16.xx.62 release
1. When attaching hosts to the DS4100, DS4300, DS4400 and DS4500 subsystems
with controller firmware 6.12.27.xx installed, if the installed Fibre
Channel HBA device driver are based on the STORport miniport model, the
following restrictions applied:
a. The number of logical drives from a DS4000 subsystem that can be
mapped to a given host is 128. This is reduced from the current
maximum limit of 255 logical drives (LUNs).
b. One of the logical drives must be mapped to LUN 0. It is
recommended that the logical drives from a DS4000 subsystem be
mapped to the host in using consecutive LUN number, starting with
the LUN number 0.
c. The [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\rdacdisk\Parameters]
"InquiryWaitTime" registry key must be set to the 0xb4 (hex B4, decimal 180)
value.
Limitations with Storage Manager Installer (SMIA) package version
09.16.xx.44 release for the DS4000 controller firmware version 6.12.27.xx
and 6.16.8x.xx
1. DS4700 storage subsystem is not supported with Symantec (Veritas) DMP
for Windows operating system environment. Contact your IBM reseller or
representative or check the DS4000 interoperability matrix at the
following Web site:
for such support in the future.
2. In direct-IO-attached configuration, where the server FC HBA ports are
directly connected to the DS4000 storage subsystem ports, and the
version of the installed device driver in the server is 9.1.2.17 (IBM
DS4000 FC-2, the IBM DS4000 FC2-133 single port or dual port or the IBM
DS4000 FC 4Gbps single port or dual port Fibre Channel (FC) HBAs), the
following limitations apply:
a. All IOs to the DS4000 storage subsystem must be stopped when the
DS4000 storage subsystem is updated with controller firmware and
NVSRAM. In addition, the server might need to be rebooted after the
controller firmware and NVSRAM is updated for it to rediscover mapped
logical drives from the DS4000 storage subsystem.
b. If the DS4000 storage subsystem is power cycled while the server is
powered up and running, the server might need to be rebooted for it
to rediscover mapped logical drives on all fibre channel connection
paths to the DS4000 storage subsystem.
c. If one of the DS4000 storage subsystem controllers is reset, the
logical drives that are specified as preferred on that controller
might not be seen again by the FC HBA ports causing the Logical not
on Preferred path error in the DS4000 storage subsystem management
window. You must either reboot the server or unplug, wait for at
least 2 minutes and then, replug the FC cable to the controller port,
whose logical drives are failed over to the other controller.
IBM is working to fix these direct-IO-attached configuration limitations
in the near future.
Limitations with Storage Manager Installer (SMIA) package version
09.16.35.09 release for the DS4000 controller firmware version 6.16.24.xx
None
Limitations with Storage Manager Installer (SMIA) package version
09.16.35.08 release for the DS4000 controller firmware version 6.16.24.xx
1. Controller firmware 06.16.xx.xx does not support EXP100 storage expansion
enclosures. Do not download it into DS4000 storage subsystems that have
EXP100 enclosures attached. After the 06.16.xx.xx controller firmware is
activated, the DS4000 storage subsystem will not recognize the drives in
EXP100 enclosures, causing loss of data availability to the RAID arrays
and logical drives that are defined in those drives.
2. The storage subsystem might not recognize the drives or drive expansion
enclosure correctly which results in the displaying of error messages or
the inability to perform storage subsystem management operations, such
as creating logical drives or arrays or initializing arrays from the
storage management software. This behavior could be caused by powering
up a DS4000 storage subsystem without any drive expansion enclosures
attached and then connecting one or more drive expansion enclosures to
the storage subsystem after it completes boot process. The workaround is
to make sure that the drive expansion enclosure(s) with at least two
drives are connected to the DS4000 storage subsystem before you turn on
the storage subsystem power.
3. Remove the drive(s) while the storage subsystem is online and then wait
until the storage subsystem is going the boot process following a
storage subsystem reboot event to reinsert the (new) drive(s) might
cause the drives to be marked as failed after the storage subsystem
completes the boot process. The workaround is to wait until the storage
subsystem is back online before reinserting the drives. If the storage
subsystem still does not recognize the drives, reconstruct the drives by
using the Advanced -> Recovery -> Reconstruct menu function in the
storage subsystem management window.
4. Uninstalling the storage manager host software package might leave the
JAVA JRE directory behind. This problem might occur if you uninstall a
copy of the SANtricity Storage Manager software that has been upgraded
from a previous release. The newer installation package could not delete
the JRE directory created with an older installation package. The
workaround is to manually delete any directories left behind after
uninstalling the software.
5. When creating remote logical drive mirrors through the SMCli script
engine in the DS4000 Storage Manager client program, the following error
might display during execution, stopping the remote logical drive mirror
creation process:
Error 173 - The operation cannot complete because the
configuration number on the remote storage array is invalid.
Some remote logical drive mirrors might have already been created. Rerun
only the portion of the script that should be run to finish creating the
rest of the remote logical drive mirrors.
6. A JavaScript error might cause the Glossary pop-up window to stay open
when the help contents on the storage management software GUI are closed
and reopened. Workaround None. This is a SUN JAVA defect.
Limitations with SMIA package version 09.15.xx.06 release for the DS4000
controller firmware version 06.12.xx.xx and 06.15.xx.xx
1. The following error message may be encountered under certain conditions
when attempting to create a 2 TB LUN using the Create Logical drive
wizard in the Subsystem Management window:
"Error 4 - The operation cannot complete because of an incorrect
parameter in the command sent to the controller."
To avoid this error message, you must take certain steps while using the
Create Logical Drive wizard to create a 2 TB LUN. Within the Specify
Capacity/Name window within the create logical drive wizard, you must not
manually specify the numeric value '2' in the New logical drive capacity
field in tandem with the "TB" Units designator. If you do this, the
Error 4 message will be issued and you will be unable to create the 2 TB
LUN. Click on the up or down arrows next to the input field to select the
desire capacity instead. When using the arrows, the program will display
the correct maximum logical drive capacity value that can be specified for
a given capacity unit (TB, GB, or MB).
Limitations with SMIA package version 9.15.xx.0x and DS4000 controller
firmware version 06.15.xx.xx release
1. There are not any DS4000 Storage Manager host software packages
for the AMD- 64 or EM64T servers running in native AMD-64 or EM64T code
version of the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 - 64bit (X64 edition) OS.
Limitations with SMIA package version 9.14.xx.05 and DS4000 controller
firmware version 06.14.xx.xx release
1. With this release of DS4000 Storage Manager, Veritas Volume Manager
(DMP) version 4.2 is supported in Microsoft Windows operating system
environment. However, the Veritas Cluster Server is not supported. Please
contact IBM representatives or resellers for the support of this program
in the future.
2. Always click the Recovery Guru icon in the DS4800 Subsystem Management
window to check for DS4800 storage subsystem problems. In certain rare
error condition, the Subsystem Management window displays the subsystem
with Optimal icon instead of Need Attention icon and a flashing Recovery
Guru icon.
Limitations with Storage Manager version 9.12.xx.08 and DS4000
controller firmware version 06.12.03.xx release
1. Do not cut and paste the information in the DS4000 Storage Manager
online help into the DS4000 Storage Manager script command window or
into the text file that will be used as input for the SMcli script
engine. Extra space may be inserted in the required parameter names
which will cause error(s) during the script command execution. (267873)
2. In the configuration that have both SATA-technology drives (EXP100)
and Fibre-Channel technology drives (EXP700/EXP710/DS4100) behind the
same DS4000 storage subsystem, do not download drives firmware to both
SATA-technology drives and Fibre-Channel(FC) technology drives at the
same time. Download the drive firmware to drives of a single drive
technology (either SATA or FC) at a time.
3. Currently, IBM does not support Gold key Premium Feature as a chargeable
upgrade. The Gold key Premium Feature is enable or disable depending
on the DS4000 storage subsystem models.
4. The Asynchronous Remote Mirroring utility, asyncRVMUtil, is not
supported. This utility is used to automatically synchronize the
logical drives in the Remote Mirroring pairs. Please contact IBM
representatives or resellers for the support of this utility in the
future.
5. The disk resource might become offline when you execute the SMrepassist
utility in the Windows Server 2003 MSCS environment. The work around is
to set the big enough value (>120 seconds) for IsAlive and LooksAlive
parameter of the disk resource before you execute the SMrepassist
utility. This limitation is not applicable to Windows 2000 MSCS
environment.
6. The RDAC driver in the DS4000 Storage Manager host software package
for Windows version 9.12 or higher does not recognize the mapped logical
drives from the DS4000 storage subsystem with controller firmware version
04.01.xx.xx. The work around is to upgrade the DS4000 storage subsystem
controllers with firmware version 05.xx.xx.xx or later.
7. Do not add drive expansion enclosure(s) to the DS4000 storage subsystem
drive loops/channels during the ESM firmware download. The ESM firmware
download process might fail due to a disconnected FC loop. Either add
the drive expansion enclosure(s) before initiating the ESM firmware
download or wait until the ESM firmware download is completed before
adding additional drive expansion enclosures to the drive loop/channel.
(added 2/10/2006)
8. Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) hardware that is removed and then
reinserted within 10 seconds might not be recognized by the controller.
Device polling is done at 10-second intervals. Any device that is
removed and replaced within the 10-second window will not be recognized.
After removing SFP hardware, ALWAYS wait at least 20 seconds before
replacing or reinserting it. (added 2/10/2006)
9. When connected through the DS4000 Storage Manager Agent and mapped volumes
using Storage Partitioning on an in-band managed storage subsystem, the
following error message might appear after a successful volume-to-LUN
mapping operation:
Error 62 - The operation cannot complete because the logical
unit number (LUN) is already in use. Please enter another LUN.
Verify that the volume-to-LUN mapping was created correctly. If it was,
this error is erroneous and can be ignored. (added 2/10/2006)
10. After you disable a premium feature, the Disable Premium Feature dialog
might go blank and no longer show any other enabled premium features to
select. The workaround is to close and then re-open the dialog.
(added 2/10/2006)
11. If you are unable to boot your Windows Server 2003 host in a root boot
environment. It could be caused by the controller ownership of the
boot logical drive (LUN) has been changed to the alternate controller.
To recover, one must manually change the Ownership/Preferred Path of
the boot logical drive (LUN) to the preferred path from a different
host or storage management station. For additional information about
changing controller ownership of a array or logical drive, refer to the
Subsystem Management Window online help. (added 2/10/2006)
12. If you disable and then re-create a flashcopy logical drive that is
mapped to a Windows Server 2003 host, the operating system does not
detect any changes to the base flashcopy logical drive that occurred
between the time you disabled and re-created the flashcopy logical
drive. This occurs on both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the
operating system. The workaround is to reboot the Windows Server 2003
host when you finish modifying the flashcopy logical drive. (2/10/2006)
13. Occasionally, after mapping logical drives to a Windows Server 2003
host, the host can take a longer time to boot than usual. The amount of
time is based on how many logical drives are mapped to the host. There
is not any workaround. This is a known issue with the Plug-and-Play
(PnP) Manager in the Windows Server 2003 operating system. Regardless
of the long boot time, this cycle must complete. (added 2/10/2006)
Limitations with Storage Manager version 9.10.xx.05 and DS4000
controller firmware version 06.10.11.xx release
1. In MSCS configurations, the MSCS service must be stopped and set to
manual start after server rebooting, the clusdisk driver must have to
be set to offline and, then, the server must be rebooted before
uninstalling the RDAC driver in the server. If the clusdisk driver is
not set to offline and the MSCS service is not set to manual start, the
MS cluster service will not start after the new RDAC driver is
installed because it can not bring the Quorum disk resource online. The
problem is caused by the changing of the disk signatures. The
work around is stated in the first sentence of this paragraph.
To recover from this problem, you must:
1. Look up the old disk signatures of the disk that are defined as
cluster disk resources. They could be found either in the registry
under the
HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/Clusdisk/Parameters/Signatures
registry key or in the cluster.log file.
2. Look up the new disk signatures of the disks that are defined as
cluster disk resources using the dumpcfg utility that is packaged
in the Microsoft Windows resource kit.
3. Compare the new and old disk signatures. If new disk signature did
not match the old signature, you have to change the new disk
signature to the old disk signature values by using the dumpcfg
command. The syntax of the command is
dumpcfg.exe -s
For example, dumpcfg.exe -s 12345678 0
2. Before updating the RDAC driver in a server that is setting up as
San-boot, modifications to the Fibre Channel (FC) cabling between the
Host Server HBA ports and the DS4000 storage subsystem Fibre Channel
(FC) host ports or to the FC switch zoning must be performed so that
the FC HBA port in the host server will see either controller A or
controller B only. The server will blue screened during the reboot after
the un-installation of the RDAC driver if the HBA port can see the boot
LUN on both controller A and B. (258127 - 82146)
3. Do not update the DS4000 storage subsystem controller firmware to version
06.1x.xx.xx from versions 05.4x.xx.xx or earlier if the EXP700 ESM
firmware of the attached exp700 was not at 9326 or higher. If the EXP700
ESM firmware is earlier than the 9326 versions, the EXP700 enclosure and
the installed drives may not be displayed in the DS4000 subsystem
management window after the controller firmware is upgraded to 06.1x.xx.xx
version. The work around is to update the EXP700 ESM firmware to the
version 9326 or higher first before upgrading the controller firmware to
version 06.1x.xx.xx. (260160 - 82841)
4. When connecting the EXP100 drive expansion enclosures, one must set the
single digit (X1) of the enclosure ID to unique values. This is to prevent
the possibility that one of the drives in the EXP100 enclosures be
assigned the same ALPA as the DS4000 controller blade under certain DS4000
storage subsystem reboot scenarios. (261188)
Limitations with Storage Manager version 9.10.xx.02 and DS4000
controller firmware version 06.10.06.xx release
1. The DS4000 Copy Service RVM is not supported at this time for the
DS4100 and the DS4300 storage subsystem with Standard or Single Controller
options. (Note: With the release of the controller firmware version
06.12.16.00 or higher, the DS4100 with standard option is now supported
Copy Service Remote Mirroring and VolumeCopy premium features.)
2. In the Storage Manager version 9 client Subsystem Management window,
the preferred owner of a defined logical drive can not be changed if
the logical drive is not managed by the preferred owner/controller.
The Storage Manager client will grey-out (not allowing one to select)
the controller that is currently managing the logical drive in the
selection list of the new preferred owner/controller. One is allowed to
only select the controller that is not managing the logical to be the
new preferred owner. There is no work-around.
3. Concurrent firmware download (downloading firmware/NVSRAM to the DS4000
storage subsystem controllers with IOs to the host servers) is not
supported when upgrading the controller firmware from a 05.xx.xx.xx
version to a 06.1x.xx.xx version. ALL IOs must be stopped during the
version 06.1x.xx.xx controller firmware upgrade from a 05.xx.xx.xx
version.
4. Do not pull or insert drives during the drive firmware download.
In addition, ALL IOs must also be stopped during the drive firmware
download. Otherwise, drives may be shown as missing, unavailable or
failed.
5. Controller diagnostics will not run in a DS4000 storage subsystem with
single controller.
6. When instructed to remove and reinsert or to replace a hard drive, wait
at least 70 seconds before inserting either the removed existing drive
or the new drive into the drive slot. Then, wait up to 3 minutes for the
drive to be spun up, recognized by the DS4000 storage subsystem and
displayed in the Subsystem Management window before repeating the
process for another hard drive. There is no work-around.
Similarly, wait at least 70 seconds before reinserting either the
removed existing ESM module or the new ESM module into the empty ESM
slot in the EXP drive expansion enclosure. Then, wait up to 3 minutes
for the ESM CRU to be recognized by the DS4000 storage subsystem and
displayed in the Subsystem Management window before repeating the
process for another ESM. There is no work-around.
7. Staged firmware and NVSRAM download function is not available on the
DS4400 (machine type 1742) models with firmware 06.1x.00.00 in
conjunction with IBM Storage Manager 09.1x.xx.xx.
Limitations with Storage Manager version 8.4x.xx.xx (and earlier) and
DS4000 controller firmware version 05.4x.xx.xx (and earlier) releases
1. You must use the Add/Remove program function in the Control Panel
window to uninstall or to disable the IBM DS4000 Storage Manager RDAC
device. To re-install the IBM DS4000 Storage Manager RDAC device,
follow the instructions in the IBM DS4000 Storage Manager version 9
Installation and Support Guide for Windows 2000/Server 2003,
NetWare, ESX Server, and Linux.
2. You must always uninstall IBM DS4000 Storage Manager RDAC before
you uninstall the Host Bus Adapter driver. Failure to do so may
result in system hung or blue-screen.
3. When creating a Remote Mirror of a base logical drive, in the
case where a FlashCopy of the base logical drive has already been created,
the following restriction applies. If the Remote Mirror relationship is
created while the base logical drive is receiving I/O, the FlashCopy
logical drive will be failed. The work around is to quiesce I/O to the
base logical drive while you are creating the remote mirror relationship.
Alternatively, if the Remote Mirror relationship is created before
creating the FlashCopy logical drive, the FlashCopy logical drive will not
be failed.
4. When alternately switching back and forth the roles of the logical
drives in a remote mirrored relationship, Windows NT4, Windows 2000 and
Server 2003 may cache the file(s) on the logical drive(disk) in memory
and use these cached data instead of going out to the disk to get the
data. This windows OS behavior may make the data look like it was not
synchronized between logical drives in a remote mirrored relationship. The
fix to the problem is to dismount the primary logical drive in the server
before demoting it to secondary role. In Microsoft Windows environment,
this is best done by shutting down the server that the primary logical
drive is mapped to. Then, promote the secondary logical drive to the
primary role and hot_add it to the appropriate server.
If the logical drive is of "Dynamic Disk" type, there is a possible
solution without requiring server to be shut down. First, in the server
that has the primary logical drive, run the SMrepassist program in the
DS4000 Storage Manager Util directory with the -f option to flush the
cached data to disk. Then, promote the secondary logical drive and hot_add
it to the appropriate server. Before promoting the logical drive to
primary role in the original server, force a failure to the disk, for
example, by running a chkdsk on the disk. Then, promote the logical drive
to primary role in the original server and hot_add it. One may have to
reactivate the disk after it is hot_added to the server.
If the server environment prevents the server from being
rebooted and the logical drive is of "basic disk" type, you may
use the following steps
1. In the server that has the primary logical drive, run the
SMrepassist program in the DS4000 Storage Manager Util directory
with the -f option to flush the cached data to disk.
2. Using the DS4000 Storage Manager to remove the LUN mapping
of the logical drive that had the primary role from its
server (host computer).
3. Promote the secondary role LUN to the primary role and
hot_add it in the appropriate server assuming that the LUN
mapping is already defined for this server in the DS4000
storage subsystem.
4. Before promoting the logical drive to primary role in the
original server, run Hot_add program or initiate a Scan for
Hardware Changes task in the original server. This is to
remove the logical drive from the available disks. In W2K,
you may see Unsafe Removal of Devices messages.
5. Using the DS4000 Storage Manager to add the LUN mapping of
the logical drive that will be promoted to primary role to
the original server(host computer).
6. Promote the Logical Drive to Primary role and hot_add it in
the original server. If you are unable to hot_add the logical
drive or the data still appears to be mismatched, you must
reboot the server.
5. The supplied SMrepassist utility did not utilize Microsoft Volume
Shadow Services APIs to quiesce the LUNs. Appropriate steps are
still need to shut down/quiesce the applications like MS Exchange
and SQL Server before the FlashCopy logical drive can be made.
6. Uninstalling RDAC may cause Windows Dynamic disks to fail. After the
new RDAC is installed and the server is rebooted, these disks must be
reactivated and Chkdsk must be run. The work-around is to stop the
applications and remove the drive letters or the mount points to
these disks before uninstalling and reinstalling RDAC.
7. The current RDAC driver will coexist with STORport model driver as
long as it is not the driver for the adapter that talks to the LUNs
in the DS4000 storage subsystems. Note: the current release drivers
for all of the Fibre Channel host bus adapters that DS4000 Storage
Servers support are based on the SCSIport model.
8. This following behavior applies for the direct Fibre Channel
connection setup between the DS4300 storage subsystem host ports and the
server HBA ports only. If all DS4300 host ports are occupied, the
DS4300 event log may show "host-side data rate negotiation failed"
error when the server is booted up, this is normal error that were
generated during the host rate negotiation routine inside the DS4300
storage subsystem.
9. In a direct Fibre Channel connection between the DS4000 storage
server and the HBAs in the host server, the system blue screen may occur
if the DS4000 storage subsystem is powered off. The work around is to
power down the server first before powering down the DS4000 storage
server.
10. Only logical drives that are configured as "Basic Disks" in the
Windows Disk Management folder can have FlashCopy made. The
FlashCopy of a logical drive configured as "Dynamic Disk" type
will always be failed by the DS4000 storage subsystem when it is
added to the host server.
11. There is not an IA-64 version of the DS4000 Management Suite Java
(FAStT_MSJ). Use the 32-bit version of the DS4000 Management Suite
Java for the Windows Server 2003 64-bit edition. However, one
should uninstall it once the diagnostic is completed. It could
cause the server to blue screen in heavy IO loads.
12. When managing the DS4000 storage subsystems with firmware version
05.3x.xx.xx, the Help window of the Subsystem Management window may
not be displayed correctly the topics that are listed as result of
executing a full text search.
13. When migrating array(s) from a dual controller DS4000 storage subsystem to
a single controller DS4000 storage subsystem, you must first set the
preferred owner of the to-be-migrated array(s) to be controller A
before inserting it into the drive slots of a single controller DS4000
storage subsystem. Otherwise, the array(s) will not be added to the single
controller DS4000 storage subsystem correctly which might cause problems.
14. When managing a single controller DS4000 storage subsystem model, do not
use the menu option - Configuration->Automatic... - in the Subsystem
Management window to create LUNs. You might not be able to access
or manage LUNs that are created this way.
15. After you replace a controller with a new controller in the single
controller models of DS4000 storage subsystems, the premium features
become unauthorized and are out of compliance. Any premium features not
supported by the firmware of the new controller are unavailable. The
work-around is to upgrade the firmware in the new controller to the same
level as the removed controller and re-enable the premium features using
the key files that you were provided when the premium feature was
originally enabled.
16. When migrating drive Customer Replaceable Units (CRUs) from multiple
DS4000 storage subsystems into a single destination DS4000 storage
servers, all of the drive CRUs from the same DS4000 storage subsystem
should be moved as a 憇et?into the new destination DS4000 storage
server. Before moving the next 憇et?of drive CRUs, ensure that all
of the drive CRUs for a single 憇et?have been moved to the
destination DS4000 storage subsystem. If drive CRUs are not moved as a
憇et?to the destination DS4000 storage subsystems, the newly relocated
array may not appear in the Subsystem Management window.
17. Enclosure IDs may be listed incorrectly in the Subsystem Management
window, even if the Enclosure ID switch settings appear to be
correct. This is because of the physical design and movement of the
Enclosure ID switch, it is possible to leave the switch in a 揹ead
zone?between ID numbers, which will return an incorrect Enclosure ID
(this value is 0 in most cases) to the storage management software.
When setting the Enclosure ID, ensure that the switch has actuated
completely and has settled where the value is clearly visible in the
viewing window.
18. To download controller firmware, you must select the drive where the
firmware is located. If the drive you select does not respond, the File
Selection dialog box will revert to the A: drive and display an error
message that drive A: is not ready if there are no media in drive A:.
19. You must suspend all I/O while ESM firmware downloads if you select
multiple enclosures for downloading ESM firmware. If you select only
one enclosure for download at a time, you can download ESM firmware
with I/Os. However, IBM recommends that you suspend all I/O activity
to perform firmware upgrades.
Furthermore, if the EXP100 ESM firmware version is 953x or earlier,
no IOs are allowed during the duration that the EXP100 ESMs are
being updated with new firmware, including clustering reservation
checking IOs.
20. The DS4000 storage subsystem when configured with the DS4000 EXP100
SATA Drive Expansion Unit is currently reporting a higher frequency
of informational events such as Destination Driver Events (DDEs) and
Fibre Channel link up/down events ... in the DS4000 Controller event
log compared to the DS4000 storage subsystem configured with Fibre
Channel drives. Slower response times of SATA disk drives compared to
Fibre Channel disk drives cause higher I/O retries from the DS4000
storage subsystem controllers, resulting in a greater number of
informational events logged. In addition, the number of information
events reported in the DS4000 storage subsystem event log will also grow
in proportion to the increase in I/Os to the Logical Drives. In all
cases, the DS4000 storage subsystem controller will always successfully
service the timeout I/O on the subsequent retries.
21. When saving the DS4000 storage subsystem event log entries, it may take up
to several minutes to save all entries in the event log depending on
the DS4000 management workstation resources. However, the DS4000 Storage
Manager client GUI will show the completion of the event log saving
almost instantly. The work around is to check the file size of the file
that the event log entries are saved periodically; if the file size
does not change, the event log saving is completed.
22. Do not perform other storage management tasks, such as creating or
deleting logical drives, reconstructing arrays, and so on, while
downloading the DS4000 storage subsystem controller firmware and DS4000
EXP ESM firmware. It is recommended that you close all storage
management sessions (other than the session that you use to upgrade
the firmware) to the DS4000 storage subsystem that you plan to update.
23. Interoperability with tape devices is supported on separate HBA and
switch zones.
24. Interoperability with IBM Enterprise Storage Server and SDD multipath
device driver is supported on separate HBA and switch zones.

1.5 Dependencies
-----------------
ATTENTION:
1. DS4000 storage subsystem CONTROLLER FIRMWARE VERSION 06.1X.XX.XX
REQUIRES THAT THE FIRMWARE VERSION OF AN ATTACHED EXP700 ENVIRONMENTAL
SERVICE MODULE (ESM) BE AT VERSION 9326 OR HIGHER. IF THE EXP700 ESM
FIRMWARE IS EARLIER THAN THE 9326 VERSIONS, THE EXP700 ENCLOSURE AND
THE INSTALLED DRIVES MAY NOT BE DISPLAYED IN THE DS4000 SUBSYSTEM
MANAGEMENT WINDOW AFTER THE CONTROLLER FIRMWARE IS UPGRADED. THE
CURRENT RELEASE ESM FIRMWARE VERSION FOR THE EXP700 ESM IS 9330.
2. DS4000 STORAGE SUBSYSTEM CONTROLLER FIRMWARE VERSION 06.1X.XX.XX
REQUIRES THAT THE FIRMWARE VERSION OF AN ATTACHED EXP100
ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICE MODULE (ESM) BE AT VERSION 955X OR HIGHER. IT
IS NOT POSSIBLE TO UPGRADE EXP100 ESM FIRMWARE VERSIONS THROUGH 953X
TO VERSION 955X WHEN THE CONTROLLER FIRMWARE IS AT 06.1X.XX.XX. TO
DETERMINE THE FIRMWARE LEVEL OF AN EXP100 ESM, IDENTIFY THE PRODUCT
LABEL LOCATED AT THE REAR OF THE EXP100 ENCLOSURE. ONLY LABELS ON
WHICH THE FIELD REPLACEABLE UNIT (FRU) PART NUMBER READS 25R0156
POSITIVELY INDICATE THAT AN ESM MODULE IS RUNNING FIRMWARE VERSION
955X OR HIGHER. IF THERE IS NO LABEL OR THE PART NUMBER ON THE LABEL
DOES NOT READ 25R0156, THE ESM MAY STILL HAVE THE FIRMWARE VERSION
955X OR HIGHER IF IT HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY UPGRADED. IF NECESSARY,
CONTACT YOUR IBM REPRESENTATIVE, SUPPORT, OR RESELLERS FOR
ASSISTANCE. IN ADDITION, IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO UPGRADE THE ESM
FIRMWARE FROM VERSION 953X TO VERSION 956X OR LATER DIRECTLY. THE
953X ESM MUST BE UPGRADED TO VERSION 9554 FIRST BEFORE IT CAN BE
UPGRADED TO VERSION 956X.
3. CURRENTLY, THE ONLY DS4000 STORAGE SUBSYSTEMS THAT ARE SUPPORTED BY
THE 06.12.XX.XX CONTROLLER FIRMWARE VERSION ARE THE DS4100 - ALL
MODELS, THE DS4300 WITH STANDARD (DUAL CONTROLLER) OR TURBO OPTIONS,
THE DS4400 AND THE DS4500. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS CONTROLLER FIRMWARE
ON ANY OTHER DS4000 STORAGE SUBSYSTEM. THERE IS NOT ANY CHECKING FOR
THIS RESTRICTION INSIDE THE STORAGE MANAGER CLIENT PROGRAM.
4. The only DS4000 storage subsystems that are supported by the
06.14.xx.xx or higher (06.14.xx.xx, 06.15.xx.xx, 06.16.xx.xx,
or 06.19.xx.xx) controller firmware version are the DS4200
(06.16.88.xx or higher), DS4300 Standard-dual controller or Turbo
models (06.19.xx.xx or higher), and the DS4500 (06.19.xx.xx or
higher), DS4700 (06.16.4x.xx or higher) and DS4800 (06.14.xx.xx
or higher) storage subsystems. Currently, there are not any
controller firmware packages version 06.14.xx.xx and higher for
other DS4000 storage subsystems. Do not download this controller
firmware on any other DS4000 storage subsystems.
5. Always check the README files (especially the Dependencies section)
that are packaged together with the firmware files for any required
minimum firmware level requirements and the firmware download
sequence for the DS4000 drive expansion enclosure ESM, the DS4000
storage subsystem controller and the hard drive firmware.
6. If the managed DS4000 storage subsystem had the FC/SATA intermix
premium feature enable, do not upgrade the controller firmware from
version 06.10.xx.xx to version 06.12.xx.xx until a FC/SATA intermix
premium feature key file is generated and available. Once the
controller firmware is upgraded to version 06.12.xx.xx, the FC/SATA
intermix premium feature will be shown as out-of-compliance and the
FC/SATA intermix premium feature key file is required to re-enable
the feature. When the FC/SATA intermix premium feature is in out-of-
compliance state, LUNs management functions like creations,
deletions and modifications will not be operational. Please refer to
the FC/SATA intermix premium feature activation card that was
shipped with the FC/SATA intermix premium feature kit for
instructions to generate the required premium key file.
7. The DS4800 storage subsystems do not support the attachment of the
DS4000 EXP700 drive expansion enclosures. The EXP700 enclosure must
be upgraded into DS4000 EXP710 enclosure using the DS4000 EXP700
Models 1RU/1RX Switched-ESM Option Upgrade Kit before it can be
attached to the DS4800 storage subsystems.
8. THE DS4000 STORAGE SERVER WITH CONTROLLER FIRMWARE VERSION 05.41.1X.XX
MUST BE UPGRADED TO CONTROLLER FIRMWARE VERSION 05.41.5X.XX FIRST BEFORE
IT CAN BE UPGRADED TO CONTROLLER FIRMWARE VERSION 06.1X.XX.XX OR LATER.
OTHERWISE, THE ERROR 231-FIRMWARE INCOMPATIBLE WILL BE DISPLAYED.
9. DS4000 storage subsystem controller firmware versions 6.12.16.xx or
higher and EXP100 storage expansion enclosure ESM firmware version
9563 or higher are required to provide support for the new 400G SATA
drive options and CRUs (P/Ns 39M4570 and 39M4575, respectively) in
addition to the new 250G SATA drive CRUs (P/N 40K6837.) This new 250G
SATA drive CRU is functionally equivalent to the previously-released
CRUs (P/N 90P1349).
10. This version 06.16.xx.xx of the DS4800 controller firmware is not
compatible with the EXP100 SATA drive expansion enclosures. DO NOT
download it into the DS4800 storage subsystems that have EXP100 drive
expansion enclosures attached. After the 06.16.xx.xx controller
firmware is activated, the DS4800 storage subsystem will not recognize
the drives in EXP100 enclosures, causing loss of data availability to
the raid arrays and logical drives that are defined in those drives.
The controller firmware version 6.15.xx.xx and earlier must be
installed in the DS4000 storage subsystems that have EXP100 SATA drive
expansion enclosure attached instead.
11. Controller firmware 06.16.xx.xx is required to support EXP810 storage
expansion enclosures.
12. Controller firmware 06.16.4x.xx and higher is required for the
DS4700-all models and the DS4800-model 80A/80H. These models do not
support older 06.16.xx.xx versions of controller firmware. The
attachment of EXP100 enclosures is not supported for these models.
13. Controller firmware 06.16.88.xx and higher is required for the
DS4200-all models. These models do not support older 06.16.xx.xx
versions of controller firmware. The attachment of EXP100, EXP710
and EXP810 enclosures is not supported for these DS4200 models.
14. When using STORport miniport version of the Fibre Channel host bus
adapter device driver, Windows Server 2003 service pack 1 must be
installed along with the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 STORport hot-
fix KB916048 - An updated Storport storage driver (version
5.2.3790.2723) is available for Windows Server 2003. The Windows
Server 2003 service pack 1 and the STORport hot-fix 916048 are
available for download at the Microsoft support web site.
15. The latest version of Microsoft Windows SCSIport and the STORport FC
HBA device drivers do not support the BUSCHANGE=0 parameter. It
requires the DS4000 storage subsystem controller firmware to be
compatible with the MS Plug and Play driver. Not all versions of the
DS4000 storage subsystem controller firmware are compatible with the
Microsoft Plug and Play driver. Currently, only the controller
firmware versions that are listed in the table below for each of the
DS4000 subsystems, which support the SCSIport device drivers with
BUSCHANGE parameter set to Microsoft required default value of 2, are
compatible with the MS Plug-and-Play driver.
------------------------------------------
| DS4000 | Controller Firmware |
| Storage Subsystem | Version Required |
-------------------------------------------
| DS4700 | 06.16.8x.xx or later|
| DS4800 | 06.15.2x.xx |
| | 06.16.8x.xx or later|
| DS4500 | 06.12.27.xx or later|
| DS4400 | 06.12.27.xx or later|
| DS4300 | 06.12.27.xx or later|
| DS4200 | 06.16.88.xx or later|
| DS4100 | 06.12.27.xx or later|
------------------------------------------
Do not use STORport miniport device driver or FAStT/DS4000 FC HBA
SCSIport device driver version 9.1.2.11 and higher in the Microsoft
Windows servers that have IO access to the DS4000 storage subsystems
with controller firmware that are not listed in the controller
firmware table above. Please check with your IBM reseller, IBM
representative, or the DS4000 interoperability matrix for information
on future DS4000 storage subsystems support of this device driver
without BUSCHANGE=0 parameter.
16. Controller firmware 06.19.xx.xx is required for the DS4300-
standard-dual controller or Turbo models and the DS4500-all
models, for attaching the EXP810 storage expansion enclosures.
IBM DS4000 Storage Manager version 9.19 provides full management
support for DS4000 storage subsystems that have controller firmware
version 05.xx.xx.xx or higher.
The only IBM DS4000 Storage Manager version 09.1x management function
supported on DS4000 storage subsystems with controller firmware
version 04.xx.xx.xx up to 04.01.xx.xx is controller firmware and
NVSRAM download.
=======================================================================
2.0 Installation and Setup Instructions

c. Install the IBM DS4000 Host Adapter device driver by using the
instructions provided in the readme.txt file located in either the
Host_Adapter directory on this installation CD or from the
appropriate driver package that is downloaded from the IBM Support
Web site.
2. If there is previous version 7.x, 8.x or 9.10 of the IBM DS4000
storage manager host software installed in the system, you have to
uninstall it first before installing the new version of the storage
manager host software.
IMPORTANT: For servers with boot LUNs in the DS4000 storage subsystems
(aka. SAN Boot or Root Boot), a special utility in the
RDAC_UninstallUtil_for_BootFromSANConfigurations directory must be run
first before Uninstalling the RDAC, especially in the following server
configuration - W2K server with DS4000 Storage Manager 8.4 RDAC installed.
Please refer to the README in the
RDAC_UninstallUtil_for_BootFromSANConfigurations directory for
instructions on running the utility. NOTE: This utility can also be used
to recover from a failed uninstalling of the RDAC in non-SAN boot
Microsoft Windows environments which resulted in a failed reboot of the
Windows operating system.
For instruction to uninstall the DS4000 storage manager host software,
please refer to the IBM DS4000 Storage Manager version 9 Installation and
Support Guide for Windows 2000/Server 2003, NetWare, ESX Server, and
Linux.
If the previously installed DS4000 storage manager version is of 9.12 or
later, the DS400 storage manager host software can be updated with the new
code from the installer without the need of uninstalling the existing
storage manager host software packages first. Just click "Yes" in the
window that the installer displays, stating that there are already
installed DS4000 storage manager host software in the server and whether
you want to update it with the new code.
3. Install the new storage manager host software from the appropriate
CD-ROM directory for your Operating Systems or from the host software
package that you downloaded from the IBM Support Web site. Refer to
the IBM DS4000 Storage Manager version 9 Installation and Support Guide
for Windows 2000/Server 2003, NetWare, ESX Server, and Linux for detailed
installation instructions.
4. If the managed DS4000 storage subsystem with controller firmware version
06.10.xx.xx installed had the FC/SATA intermix premium feature enable,
do not continue with the next step until a FC/SATA intermix premium
feature key file is generated and available. Once the controller
firmware is upgraded to version 06.12.xx.xx, the FC/SATA intermix
premium feature will be shown as out-of-compliance and the FC/SATA
intermix premium feature key file is required to re-enable the
feature. When the FC/SATA intermix premium feature is in out-of-
compliance state, LUNs management functions like creations, deletions
and modifications will not be operational. Please refer to the FC/SATA
intermix premium feature activation card that was shipped with the
FC/SATA intermix premium feature kit for instructions to generate the
required premium key file.
5. Upgrade the DS4000 storage subsystem firmware in the following order - the
DS4000 drive expansion enclosure ESM code, the DS4000 storage subsystem
controller firmware and NVSRAM and then the hard drive firmware code.
Refer to the IBM DS4000 Storage Manager version 9 Installation and

latest supported host adapters, device drivers, and updated readme.
=======================================================================
2.3 Helpful Hints
------------------
1. The DS4500 and DS4300 storage subsystem have new recommended drive-side
cabling instructions. The DS4500 instructions are documented in the IBM
System Storage DS4500 Installation, Users. and Maintenance Guide
(GC27-2051-00 or IBM P/N 42D3302). The DS4300 instructions are documented
in the IBM System Storage DS4300 Installation, Users. and Maintenance Guide
(GC26-7722-02 or IBM P/N 42D3300).
Please follow the cabling instructions in these publication to cable the
new DS4500 and DS4300 setup. If you have an existing DS4500 setup with
four drive side minuhub installed that was cabled according to the previously
recommended cabling instructions, please schedule down time as soon as
possible to make changes to the drive side FC cabling. Refer to the IBM
System Storage DS4500 and DS4300 Installation, Users. and Maintenance Guide
for more information.
2. If you are unable to see the maximum number of drives during
Automatic Configuration, you should be able to use Manual
Configuration to select individual drives and select the maximum
number of drives allowed.
3. Depending on the storage subsystem that you have purchased, you
may have to purchase the DS4000 storage partitioning premium feature
option or an option to upgrade the number of supported partitions
in a storage subsystem. Please see IBM Marketing representatives
or IBM resellers for more information.
- IBM DS4100 storage subsystem (machine type 1724): The standard and
single controller configuration does not have the DS4000 storage
partitioning premium enabled. Four partition, eight partition,
sixteen and an upgrade from four to eight partition storage
partitioning premium feature options can be purchased.
- IBM DS4200 storage subsystem (machine type 1814): Depending on the
ordering channels, the DS420 storage subsystem is either shipped with
2 storage partitions or with a user selected 2, 4, 8, 16 or 64 storage
partitions. If the DS4200 storage subsystem is ordered with less than
64 partitions, various storage partition feature upgrade options can
be purchased to increase the maximum number of supported storage
partitions.
- IBM DS4300 storage subsystem (machine type 1722): The standard
configuration does not have the DS4000 storage partitioning premium
enabled. Four partition, eight partition, sixteen and an upgrade
from four to eight partition storage partitioning premium feature
options can be purchased. The IBM DS4300 Turbo option comes with
8 partition storage partitioning premium option installed. An
upgrade to 64 partitions can be purchased for the IBM DS4300
Turbo option.
- IBM FAStT200 (machine type 3542: The standard configuration has 16
partition storage partitioning premium option installed. No additional
storage partitioning premium feature options can be purchased for
these storage subsystems.
- IBM FAStT500 and DS4400 storage subsystems (machine type 3552 and
1742 - models 1RU and 1RX, respectively): The standard configuration
has 64 partition storage partitioning premium option installed. No
additional storage partitioning premium feature options can be
purchased for these storage subsystems.
- IBM DS4500 storage subsystem (machine type 1742 - models 90X and
90U): The standard configuration has 16 partition storage partitioning
premium option installed. An upgrade from 16 to 64 partition storage
partitioning premium feature option can be purchased.
- IBM DS4700 storage subsystem (machine type 1814): Depending on the
ordering channels, the DS4700-model 70 storage subsystem is either
shipped with 2 storage partitions or with a user selected 2, 4, 8, 16
or 64 storage partitions. Similarly, the DS4700-model 72 storage
subsystem is either shipped with 8 storage partitions or with a user
selected 8, 16 or 64 storage partitions. If the DS4700 storage
subsystem is ordered with less than 64 partitions, various storage
partition feature upgrade options can be purchased to increase the
maximum number of supported storage partitions.
- IBM DS4800 storage subsystem (machine type 1815): Depending on the
ordering channels, the DS4800 storage subsystem is either shipped with
8 storage partitions or with a user selected 8, 16 or 64 storage
partitions. If the subsystem is ordered with less than 64 partitions,
an upgrade from 8 to 16, 8 to 64 or 16 to 64 partition storage
partitioning premium feature option can be purchased.
4. Do not delete the Access LUN or Access Volume. The Access LUN is required
by the SMClient to communicate with the storage controllers when using the
in-band management method.
5. The DS4000 controller host ports or the Fibre Channel HBA ports can not
be connected to a Cisco FC switch ports with "trunking" enable. You might
encounter failover and failback problems if you do not change the Cisco
FC switch port to "non-trunking" using the following procedure:
a. Launch the Cicso FC switch Device Manager GUI.
b. Select one or more ports by a single click.
c. Right click the port(s) and select Configure, a new window pops up
d. Select the "Trunk Config" tab from this window, a new window opens
e. In this window under Admin, select the "non-trunk" radio button, it is
set to auto by default.
f. Refresh the entire fabric.
6. When making serial connections to the DS4000 storage controller, the
baud rate is recommended to be set at either 38200 or 57600. Note: Do
not make any connections to the DS4000 storage subsystem serial ports
unless it is instructed by IBM Support. Incorrect use of the serial
port might result in lost of configuration, and possibly, data.
7. Fabric topology zoning requirement. To avoid possible problem at the
host level, it is best practice that all Fibre Channel (FC) Switches
must be zoned such that a single FC host bus adapter can only access
one controller per storage array. In addition, this zoning requirement
also ensures the maximum number of host connections can be seen and
log into the controller FC host port. This is because if a FC HBA port
is seen by both controller A and B host ports, it will be counted as
two host connections to the storage subsystem - one for controller A
port and one for controller B port.
Note: The DS4000 storage subsystems DS4500, DS4400 and FAStT500 (IBM
machine type 1742 and 3552) have two ports per controller - one per
minihub slot. The DS4000 storage subsystems DS4300 (IBM machine type 1722)
and DS4100 (IBM machine type 1724) have two ports per controller. The
DS4000 storage subsystem FAStT200 (IBM machine type 3542) has only one
port per controller. The DS4800 storage subsystem (IBM machine type 1815)
has four ports per controller.
8. All enclosures (including DS4000 storage subsystem with internal drive
slots) on any given drive loop/channel should have complete unique ID's,
especially the single digit (x1) portion of the ID, assigned to them.
For example, in a maximum configured DS4500 storage subsystem, enclosures
on one redundant drive loop should be assigned with id's 10-17 and
enclosures on the second drive loop should be assigned with id's 20-27.
Enclosure id's with the same single digit such as 11, 21 and 31 should
not be used on the same drive loop/channel.
In addition, for enclosures with mechanical enclosure ID switch like
DS4300 storage subsystems, EXP100 or EXP710 storage expansion
enclosures, do not use enclosure ID value of 0. The reason is with the
physical design and movement of the mechanical enclosure ID switch, it
is possible to leave the switch in a 揹ead zone?between ID numbers,
which return an incorrect enclosure ID to the storage management
software. The most commonly returned enclosure ID is 0 (zero). In
addition to causing the subsystem management software to report
incorrect enclosure ID, this behavior also result in enclosure ID
conflict error with the storage expansion enclosure or DS4000 storage
subsystem intentionally set the ID to 0.
The DS4200 and DS4700 storage subsystems and the EXP420 and EXP810
storage expansion enclosures did not have mechanical ID switches. Thus,
they are not susceptible to this problem. In addition, these storage
subsystems and storage expansion enclosures automatically set the
Enclosure IDs. IBM recommendation is not make any changes to these
settings unless the automatic enclosure ID settings resulting in non-
unique single digit settings for enclosures (including the storage
subsystems with internal drive slots) in a given drive loop/channel.
9. The ideal configuration for SATA drives is one drive in each EXP per
array, one logical drive per array and one OS disk partition per
logical drive. This configuration minimizes the random head movements
that increase stress on the SATA drives. As the number of drive
locations to which the heads have to move increases, application
performance and drive reliability may be impacted. If more logical
drives are configured, but not all of them used simultaneously, some
of the randomness can be avoided. SATA drives are best used for long
sequential reads and writes.
10. IBM recommends at least one hot spare per EXP100 drive expansion enclosure.
A total of 15 hot-spares can be defined per DS4000 storage subsystem
configuration.
11. Starting with the DS4000 Storage Manager (SM) host software version 9.12 or
later, the Storage Manager client script window looks for the files with
the file type of ".script" as the possible script command files. In the
previous versions of the DS4000 Storage Manager host software, the script
window looks for the file type ".scr" instead. (i.e. enableAVT.script for
SM 9.12 or later vs. enableAVT.scr for pre-SM 9.12)
12. When you configure a LUN from the DS4000 storage subsystem as a boot
device, the system displays a blue screen and does not respond when it
is manually or automatically set to hibernate. If you use a LUN in the
DS4000 storage subsystem as a boot device for Windows Server 2003, you
cannot enable the hibernation feature. To ensure that the hibernation
feature is disabled, complete the following steps:
a. Select Start >> Settings >> Control Panel >> Power Options.
b. Select the Hibernate tab.
IMPORTANT: If the Hibernate tab does not appear in this dialog, then
your system does not support hibernate. No additional action is
required.
c. Is the Enable Hibernate Support check box selected?
| Yes ?Unselect the check box, select Apply, and then go to step d.
| No ?Go to step d.
d. Select the Power Schemes tab.
e. From the Turn Off Hard Disks drop-down menu, select Never.
f. Select OK.
13. (Windows Server 2003) Cluster resources might fail on a host after
rebooting if the "Failback immediately" option is checked in the
Microsoft Cluster Server software. With this option checked, you might
see failed resources or devices not associated with their preferred
node. The current workaround is to make sure that the "Prevent
failback" option is checked under Group Properties. This is the default
option. Do not use the "Failback immediately" option.
14. (Windows 2000) In a Microsoft Cluster Server (MSCS) environment
configured with VERITAS DMP, rebooting a server node owning the
resources might take a long time (10 to 15 minutes). It is possible
that the long server boot time might cause some Windows delayed write
failures. The workaround is to move all the resources from the server
node you are planning to reboot to another node before rebooting.
15. (Windows Server 2003) When in a server cluster environment, a failed
disk in the storage subsystem does not show as failed in the Cluster
Administrator. The host still receives I/O errors, and the disk is
shown as failed in the storage management software.
This is a known issue with the Windows Server 2003 operating system.
Choose one of the following workarounds:
?Workaround 1 ?Reboot the host that owns the disk resource. The
Cluster Administrator should now show the proper state of the disk
resource.
?Workaround 2 ?Change the ownership of the disk resource to a
different node in the server cluster configuration.

3.0 Configuration Information
-----------------------------
3.1 Configuration Settings
--------------------------
1. For the Microsoft Windows servers in MSCS configuration, the IBM DS4000
FC2, FC2-133 single or dual port and FC 4Gbps single or dual port FC HBA
adapter "Port Down Retry Count" BIOS parameter must be change to 70 from
the default of 30. You can either use the Qlogic SANsurfer (aka. FAStT
Management Suite Java (FAStT MSJ)) program or the FC HBA Fast!UTIL
program to change the setting in 32bit or X64 64bit servers. To invoke
the Fast!UTIL program, perform the following steps:
1. Reboot the server
2. Press when the statement "Press for Fast!UTIL " is
displayed when the server scan the FC-133 adapter during boot to get
invoke the Fast!UTIL program.
3. If there are multiple FC2-133 HBAs in your server, a list of the
HBAs will be displayed. Select the appropriate HBA and press enter to
get to the Fast!Util Options menu. Then, select the Configuration
Settings menu option followed by Advanced Adapter Settings menu
option to display the menu that the Port Down Retry Count parameter
is displayed. Select the parameter and press enter to edit the new
value.
4. Press ESC twice to get to the "Save setting" menu. Select appropriate
option to save the settings and return to the Fast!UTIL Options menu.
You can either select another HBA for modification or press ESC and
select Reboot System when you are prompted.
Alternatively, you can also use the Qlogic SANsurfer program to modify
the setting from the Microsoft Windows operating system environment.
This is also the recommended method to change NVSRAM setting in Intel
Itanium II 64bit (IA64) servers. However, you must reboot the servers
for the changes to become effective.
In addition, the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Disk registry value
must be increased to 120 from the default setting of 60. A utility,
SMRegUpdate.reg, is provided in the SMUtil host software package to
facilitate this registry change.
The QLogic SANsurfer program can be downloaded from the DS4000 System
Storage support web site.
2. If a host in a cluster server configuration lost a physical path to a
DS4000 storage subsystem controller, the logical drives that are mapped
to the cluster group will periodically failover and then failback
between cluster nodes until the failed path is restored. This behavior
is the result of the automatic logical drive failback feature of the
RDAC multipath driver. The cluster node with a failed path to a DS4000
controller will issue a failover command of all logical drives that were
mapped to the cluster group to the controller that it can access. After
a programmed interval, the nodes that did not have failed path will
issue failback command for the logical drives because they can access
the logical drives both controllers, resulting in the cluster node with
the failed path not be able to access certain logical drives. This
cluster node will then issue a failover command for all logical drives,
repeating the logical drives failover-failback cycle.
The workaround is to disable this automatic failback feature. For Windows,
change the DisableLunRebalance registry setting of the
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\rdacdisk\Parameters]
registry key from 0 to 3 in each cluster node. Then, reboot each node
for the changes to take effect.
3. By default, the IBM DS4000 Storage Manager 8.3 and higher firmware does
not automatically map logical drives when the IBM DS4000 storage
partitioning premium feature is enabled. This means that the logical
drives after being created are not automatically presented to the host
systems.
a. For a new installation, after creating new arrays and logical drives,
create a storage partition with the host type of Windows 2000/Server
2003 non-clustered or Windows 2000/Server 2003 clustered and map the
logical drives to this partition.
b. If you are upgrading the NVSRAM with Storage Partitions, you may have
to change the default host type to match the host system OS. After
upgrading the NVSRAM, the default host type is reset to Windows
2000/Server 2003 non-clustered for DS4000 storage subsystem with
controller firmware version 06.14.xx.xx or later. For DS4000 storage
server with controller firmware version 06.12.xx.xx or earlier, it is
reset to Windows non-clustered (SP5 or higher), instead.
Refer to the IBM DS4000 Storage Manager online help to learn more about
creating storage partitions and changing host types.
4. When you are configuring IBM machine type 1722, 1742, 1814, 1815, 3542
or 3552 storage controllers as boot devices, contact IBM support for
supported configurations and instructions for configuring LUNs in IBM
DS4000 storage subsystems as boot devices.
5. Running script files for specific configurations. Apply the
appropriate scripts to your subsystem based on the instructions you have
read in the publications or any instructions in the operating system
readme file. A description of each script is shown below.
- SameWWN.script: Setup RAID controllers to have the same World Wide
Names. The World Wide Names (node) will be the same for each
controller pair. The NVSRAM default sets the RAID controllers
to have the same World Wide Names.
- DifferentWWN.script: Setup RAID controllers to have different World
Wide Names. The World Wide Names (node) will be different for each
controller pair. The NVSRAM default sets the RAID controllers
to have the same World Wide Names.
- EnableDriveMigration.script: The Enable drive migration script
scans the drives for configurations when they are added to a storage
system and will also attempt to use configurations found on the newly
added drives. The NVSRAM default will enable drive migration.
- DisableDriveMigration.script: The disable drive migration script
allows the addition of disk drives while the system is running. In
addition, it identifies the drives as unused capacity regardless of
past drive configuration. The NVSRAM default will enable drive
migration.
- EnableAVT_W2K_S2003_noncluster.script: The script will enable automatic
logical drive transfer (AVT/ADT) for the Windows 2000/Server 2003
non- cluster heterogenous host region. The default setting is to
disable AVT for this heterogenous host region. This setting is one
of the requirements for setting up the remote boot or SAN-boot. Do
not use this script unless it is specifically mentioned in the
applicable instructions. (This script can be used for other host
type if modifications are made in the script, replacing the Windows
2000/Server 2003 non-cluster host type with the appropriate host
type that needs to have AVT/ADT enabled)
- DisableAVT_W2K_S2003_noncluster.script: The script will disable the
automatic logical drive transfer (AVT) for the Windows 2000/Server
2003 non-cluster heterogenous host region. This script will reset
the Windows 2000/Server 2003 non-cluster AVT setting to the default.
(This script can be used for other host type if modifications are
made in the script, replacing the Windows 2000/Server 2003 non-
cluster host type with the appropriate host type that needs to have
AVT/ADT disabled)
6. When you are configuring IBM machine type 1722, 1724, 1742, 1814, 1815
or 3552 storage subsystems in host cluster Remote Mirror configurations,
contact IBM support for supported host cluster configurations and
instructions for configuring IBM storage controllers in clustered Remote
Mirror configurations.

enclosures. In addition, it does not support Fibre Channel disk drive
options.
6. The DS4800 (machine type 1815 - models 80A/88H) does not support the
the attachment of the DS4000 EXP100 (SATA) drive expansion enclosure
because it does not support the DS4800 controller firmware 6.15.xx.xx.
7. The IBM DS4000 EXP420 Expansion Enclosure is not supported attached
to any other IBM DS4000 Storage Controllers except the DS4200.
8. The DS4100 with Single Controller option does not support the
attachment of the DS4000 storage expansion enclosures.
9. The DS4300 storage subsystem with Single Controller option does not
support the controller firmware version 06.1x.xx.xx. The correct
firmware version for these DS4300 storage subsystem models is
05.34.xx.xx.
10. Fibre Channel loop environments with the IBM Fibre Channel Hub,
machine type 3523 and 3534, in conjunction with the IBM Fibre Channel
Switch, machine types 2109-S16, 2109-F16 or 2109-S8. In this
configuration, the hub is connected between the switch and the IBM
Fibre Channel RAID Controllers.
11. The IBM Fibre Channel hub, machine type 3523, connected to IBM
machine type 1722, 1724, 1742, 1814, 1815, 3542 and 3552.
12. A configuration in which a server with only one FC host bus
adapter connects directly to any DS4000 storage subsystem with dual
controllers is not supported. The supported configuration is the
one in which the server with only one FC host bus adapter connects
to both controller ports of any DS4000 storage subsystem with dual
controllers via Fibre Channel (FC) switch (SAN-attached
configuration.)
