Finish installation and cleanup

Procedure

  1. You must use the next step to ensure that the storage facility power control mode is set to Manual unless the customer selected a different setting on the customer worksheet.
  2. Set the storage facility rack power control mode that the customer chose on the configuration worksheet. For more information, see MAP2460 Configuring and overview of the DS8000 Power Control Mode.
    1. From the navigation area, click Storage Facility Management.
    2. From the right work area, select the radio button for the existing storage facility. The bottom Task area displays a list of tasks you can select.
    3. Click Service Utilities.
    4. Click Storage Facility Power Control
    5. Make the desired customer selections from the worksheets.
  3. Compare the control switch settings that are defined on the Customization Worksheet with the default settings in Table 1.
    Table 1. Control switch default settings
    Control Switch Setting Default Value
    AS400 LUN Serial Suffix number 0
    CUIR support 0 (false)

    Do the customization worksheet control switch settings match the default settings in Table 1?

    • Yes, continue with the next step.
    • No, from the HMC GUI perform the following steps to alter the Control Switch Settings for each storage facility image that must be updated.
      1. From the navigation area, click Storage Facility Management > storage facility > SF image.
      2. From the bottom Task area, click Service Utilities > Enable/Disable Control Switches. The Control Switches - SF Image window opens.
      3. Update the values from the Customization Worksheets. Click Set.
      4. Continue to the next step.
  4. Place the following items in the document enclosure or customer-provided storage for future use or reference:
    • Copies of the configuration worksheets
    • Spare ship group components
    • CDs/DVDs
    • Spare labels
    • Cable planning worksheets
    • Host card wrap tools
    • DVD drive
  5. Use the Network Topology Tool to verify connectivity with all nodes (Ethernet ports) on the DS8000 private network and then save the topology. The following lists examples of nodes.
    • Local HMC ports.
    • HMC ports on second HMC (if installed).
    • CEC enclosure service processor Ethernet ports (HMC ports).
    • LPAR (partition) ports on the CEC enclosure Ethernet adapter.

    Start the Network Topology tool as follows:

    1. From the navigation area, click HMC Management.
    2. In the right work area, go to the Operations section and click View Network Topology.
    3. Wait several minutes for the tool to gather and present the results.
    4. A window opens and displays the current network topology (port connections) listed on top, and the saved topology from the last time the tool was run and the Save button was selected. Normally the saved topology should be from results when all nodes on both private networks were fully present and operational.
      Note: The option to save the topology is used after all nodes on both private networks are determined to be present and operational.
    5. Determine if all expected nodes are present. Refer to Figure 1, Figure 2, and the saved topology nodes list.
    6. Are any nodes missing or failing?

    Figure 1 shows an example of a Network Topology window with a single management console. Figure 2 shows an example of a full topology tree for a single HMC and single storage facility.

    Notes:
    • The tool provides a hierarchical view of the network from the management console which you logged in to.
    • The Current Topology view shows the status of detected nodes on each of the two DS8000 private networks at the time the tool was started or when Refresh was selected.
    • The service processor cards are accessed through one of the two networks, so they will not appear on both. This is normal.
    • The Storage Facility system status information is displayed along with the associated service processor card, so it will not appear on both networks. This is normal.
  6. If there is a second HMC in this storage complex, use the Network Topology tool (step 5) on the second HMC, then go to step 7.
  7. In the View Network Topology panel, click Close to close the panel.
  8. Store the customer provided configuration worksheets in the Rack 1 document enclosure (left rear of rack).
  9. Use the View Storage Facility Status utility to ensure there are no unreported or unexpected problems or conditions.
    1. From the navigation area, click Storage Facility Management > storage facility.
    2. From the bottom Task area, click Service Utilities > View Storage Facility State.
    3. A window opens listing passed/failed status for 25 or more system checks. You can display the details for each system check.
      Note: Further explanations and options are detailed in MAP1100 View storage facility state (end of call).
  10. At the front of the rack, observe the CEC enclosure system attention blue LED indicator  C  on the operator panel above the disk drives.
    Is the indicator lit?
    • Yes. Because the prior step determined that there are no unexpected or reported problems, this is a false system attention indication. You must switch off the system attention indicator. Go to MAP4050 Switching off the CEC enclosure system attention indicator (lit solid), then return here and continue with the next step.
      Note: When the CEC enclosure attention indicator is lit solid, the system attention LED  5  on the management enclosure operator panel will also be lit solid. See Figure 5
    • No, go to the next step.
