DS8000 Service Documentation Version 6.3.3

Routing and connecting customer cables to the storage facility

Procedure

  1. Record the date and time as follows:
    1. Record the stop date and time for the HMC Customization and Communication Tests phase in Table 3, in section Recording information for the installation report.
    2. Record the start date and time for the End of Install and Clean-up phase in Table 3, in section Recording information for the installation report.
  2. Has the customer ordered the remote power control feature?
    • Yes, go to the next step.
    • No, go to step 4.
  3. Route the remote power control cables  1  from each host up through the tailgate to the ZLR remote power control card connectors  3 . Use cable ties to fasten the cable to the frame  2 . See Figure 1.
    Figure 1. Remote power control cables from host to ZLR card
    Remote power control cables from host to ZLR card
    Attention: The remote power control feature will be enabled in the next step. Remind your customers that they must test it.
  4. Ask the customer to supply a diagram or output from the DS8000® Storage Manager to define the connectivity between the DS8000 host card ports and system host card ports.
  5. Label fibre host cables from each customer host adapter.
  6. Route the cables  1  to the rear of the appropriate DS8000 frame. See Figure 2.
    Note: To allow correct connection and disconnection of external cables, label cables using the customer's current cable-identification plan and the labels provided by your customer.
  7. In the tailgate, squeeze the black release levers  2 , pivot the retention bracket up and then remove it.

  8. This step provides information useful for connecting customer host cables to the I/O enclosure host adapter card ports.
    1. The customer may reference the host adapter port locations by using the information displayed in the DS Storage Manager or DS CLI.
    2. For an example of DS Storage Manager I/O port information, see Figure 3.
    3. For an example of DS CLI I/O port information, see Figure 4.
    4. For an example of host adapter card port location codes used in serviceable event FRU lists, see Figure 5.
    5. For information on Rack-1 rear view of I/O enclosure HA Port locations and IOPORT numbers, see Table 1.
    6. For information on Rack-2 rear view of I/O enclosures HA Port locations and IOPORT numbers, see Table 2.

  9. Feed the host cables up through the tailgate and route them to the destination I/O enclosure and host card and plug them in.
    Notes:
    • Save the wrap tools removed from each Fibre host card. The wrap tool can be used as a dust cover and also a wrap tool for diagnosis and repair.
    • There are two types of Fibre Channel cards:
      • Short wave
      • Long wave
  10. Secure the host cables in the cable guide by pressing them into the slots.
  11. Reinstall the retention bracket removed earlier.
  12. Reinstall the tailgate brackets in all frames using the screws  2  removed earlier. Tighten all four screws  1  and  2 . See Figure 6
    Figure 6. Tailgate frame bracket

  13. Continue with Finish installation and cleanup.
