Storage planning considerations include: • System and performance expectations • Striping methods • RAID levels • Disk drive sizes and types • Spare drives • Array sizing (capacity) NOTE: For the minimum supported configuration, and other configuration information, see the QuickSpecs for the disk enclosure.
During the rebuilding process, the array is operating in a reduced state and, unless it is a RAID6 or RAID1+0 array, it cannot tolerate another disk failure in the same array. If another disk D2600/D2700 Disk Enclosure User Guide...
fails at this time, the array becomes inaccessible and information stored there must be restored from backup. After the rebuild of the data onto the spare is completed, when a replacement drive is inserted to replace the failed drive, the system will automatically transfer the data from the spare onto the replacement drive and return the spare to an available-spare state.
For HP ProLiant server environments, consider using Rack Builder, a software tool that provides a simplified method to planning and configuring racks and rack-mountable products. Rack Builder is available on the Options tab of the ProLiant Home page of the HP servers website: http:// www.hp.com/country/us/eng/prodserv/servers.html.
The disk enclosure can be installed into most standard server racks. To verify that your rack is supported for use with the disk enclosure, see the QuickSpecs for the disk enclosure, available on the D2000 website: http://www.hp.com/go/D2000. CAUTION: Install disk drives in the enclosures only after mounting the enclosures in the rack.
Slide the device into position on the rails (1) and then tighten the thumbscrews on the front of the device to secure the device to the rack. NOTE: The rear ends of the rails have a bracket that must engage the device chassis to secure the rear of the chassis to the rails. D2600/D2700 Disk Enclosure User Guide...
Depending on the enclosure model, 12 or 25 disk drives can be installed in the enclosure. A variety of disk drive models are supported for use, including dual-ported and single-ported models. For more information about supported disk drives, see the QuickSpecs for the disk enclosure, available on the D2000 website: http://www.hp.com/go/D2000. Disk drive guidelines CAUTION: Follow industry-standard practices when handling disk drives.

Determine the status of the hard drive (see Drive status reporting). IMPORTANT: For proper airflow and cooling, a drive blank must remain installed in all unused drive bays. D2600/D2700 Disk Enclosure User Guide...
• Install all operating-system-specific service packs, patch kits, or other required tools. • Install HP system management and monitoring tools, such as HP Systems Insight Manager (HP-SIM) and the Array Configuration Utility (ACU). NOTE: For detailed installation and configuration information about the server or the software tools, see the documentation provided with the server or software.
Use supported SAS cables and power cords. A variety of cables and cable lengths are supported for use with this disk enclosure. For more information, see the QuickSpecs for the disk enclosure, available on the D2000 website: http://www.hp.com/go/D2000. • Use the shortest possible cable between devices. Shorter cables reduce the possibility of signal degradation that might occur over longer distances.
Connecting SAS cables to the server or controller enclosure To connect the first disk enclosure to the server or controller enclosure, use a standard mini-SAS cable. IMPORTANT: When connecting this disk enclosure in a single-domain environment, only the top I/O module (I/O module A) in the disk enclosure is supported for use.
The number of supported cascaded disk enclosures varies per disk enclosure model and installation environment. For more information, see the QuickSpecs for the disk enclosure, controller, or con- troller enclosure, available on the HP storage website: http://www.hp.com/go/storage. Observe the following guidelines: •...
Connecting power cords When connecting power cords, use the cords shipped with the disk enclosure. The power cord should be approved for use in your country. The power cord must be rated for the product and for the voltage and current marked on the electrical ratings label of the product. The voltage and current rating for the cord should be greater than the voltage and current rating marked on the product.
CAUTION: When you power on the server, the monitor might display a “New Hardware Found” message. Cancel out of this window to prevent the installation of unsupported software. Verify that each component is operating properly. D2600/D2700 Disk Enclosure User Guide...
Verifying the operating status of the disk enclosures To verify that the disk enclosures and disk drives are operating properly, view the enclosure and disk drive LEDs and compare them with the patterns described in the following table. If LED patterns are not as expected, check cable connections between the devices, check the availability of your power source, review the installation procedures, and remove and reinsert the module.
Which tools are supported for your installation environment is determined by the controller or controller enclosure to which the disk enclosure is connected. For support information, see the QuickSpecs and user documents for the controller or controller enclosure. D2600/D2700 Disk Enclosure User Guide...
IMPORTANT: When you power on the server, the monitor might display a “New Hardware Found” message. Cancel out of this window to prevent the installation of unsupported software. Verify that each component is operating properly. D2600/D2700 Disk Enclosure User Guide...
To determine currently-installed firmware and software versions on system components, use management software utilities such as the HP System Management Homepage, HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM), Storage Management Utility (SMU), or Command Line Interface (CLI).

Dual domain example — best fault tolerance cabling This example illustrates cabling for a dual-domain configuration in a pattern that offers best possible fault tolerance. In this configuration, note the following: • A multi-port, dual-domain controller in the host and dual-port disk drives in the disk enclosure are required for dual-domain deployments.
When using Large Form Factor disk enclosures, more than one additional disk enclosure can be cascaded. For more information, see the QuickSpecs for the Large Form Factor disk enclosure. Host (server or controller enclosure) Primary disk enclosure Cascaded disk enclosure Primary path Additional path D2600/D2700 Disk Enclosure User Guide...
Dual domain—alternative cabling This example illustrates cabling for a dual-domain configuration in a pattern that offers a balance of fault tolerance and performance. In this configuration, note the following: • A multi-port, dual-domain controller in the host and dual-port disk drives in the disk enclosure are required for dual-domain deployments.

Recognizing disk drive failure In an HP enclosure, a steadily glowing fault LED indicates that a disk drive has failed. Other indications of failed disk drives are as follows: • ACU represents failed drives with a distinctive icon. • HP SIM can detect failed drives remotely across a network. (For more information about HP SIM, see the documentation on the Management CD.)
Failure of another drive during rebuild If a non-correctable read error occurs on another physical drive in the array during the rebuild process, the Online LED of the replacement drive stops blinking and the rebuild abnormally terminates. If this D2600/D2700 Disk Enclosure User Guide...
situation occurs, restart the server. The system might temporarily become operational long enough to allow recovery of unsaved data. In any case, locate the faulty drive, replace it, and restore data from backup. Handling disk drive failures If the controller was configured with hardware fault tolerance, complete the following steps after a disk drive failure: Determine which physical drive failed.
Verifying component failure • Consult HP technical support to verify that the hardware component has failed and that you are authorized to replace it yourself. • Additional hardware failures can complicate component replacement. Check your management utilities to detect any additional hardware problems: •...
