Prerequisites for Installation

Security Information
To understand the security issues relevant to initial installation of the Oracle ZFS Storage
Appliance, refer to the Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance Security Guide, Release 2013.1.5.0.

Safety Information
Take the following precautions when installing disk shelves and controllers into a rack.

Note - If your rail kit shipped with installation instructions, use those instructions instead.

■ Before you begin installation, read the Safety Agency Compliance Statements section in the
Safety and Compliance Guide for your controller.
■ For safety reasons, mount the heaviest equipment, typically disk shelves, at the bottom of
the rack. For rack-mounting guidelines, refer to the Safety and Compliance Guide for your
controller.
■ Always load equipment into a rack from the bottom up so that it will not become top-heavy
and tip over. Deploy the anti-tip bar to prevent the rack from tipping during equipment
installation.
■ Ensure that the temperature in the rack will not exceed the equipment's maximum ambient
rated temperatures. Consider the total airflow requirements of all equipment installed in the
rack to ensure that the equipment is operated within its specified temperature range.
■ Always use the width spacer alignment tool when installing rails into racks that use cage
nuts and mounting screws. Failure to use the spacer can cause the glides and sliders to jam
and damage the rail.
■ Do not remove a component if you do not have an immediate replacement. The disk shelf
must not be operated without all components in place.
■ Do not lift a disk shelf by the handles on the power supply with fan modules; they are not
designed to take the weight.

Cabinet and Tool Requirements

Use one of the following racks for a DE2-24C or DE2-24P disk shelf:

Note - Position the rack where the shelf is to be installed adjacent to the rack where the
controller is installed, if separate. Stabilize the cabinet and lock the casters. To facilitate access,
remove doors from cabinets.

12 Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance Installation Guide • February 2016

 Prerequisites for Installation

■ Sun Rack II 1042/1242 cabinet

■ Any 19-inch wide, 4-post, EIA-compatible rack or cabinet with a front-to-back depth
between vertical cabinet rails of 61 cm to 91 cm (24 in. to 36 in.). The cabinet can have
threaded or unthreaded cabinet rails. Threaded cabinets must be M6 or 10-32 cabinets.
Cabinets must be able to support the weight of all equipment contained within them.

Use one of the following racks for a Sun Disk Shelf:

Note - Position the rack where the shelf is to be installed adjacent to the rack where the
controller is installed, if separate. Stabilize the cabinet and lock the casters.

■ Sun Rack 900/1000 cabinet

■ Sun Fire cabinet
■ Sun StorEdge Expansion cabinet
■ Sun Rack II 1042/1242 cabinet
■ Any 19-inch wide, 4-post, EIA-compatible rack or cabinet with a front-to-back depth
between vertical cabinet rails of 61 cm to 91 cm (24 in. to 36 in.). The cabinet can have
threaded or unthreaded cabinet rails.

To install a disk shelf, you need the following tools:

■ A Phillips-head No. 2 screwdriver that is a minimum of 4 inches long.

■ A T20 Torx driver, if using a threaded cabinet (DE2-24P).
■ A mechanical lift is highly recommended because the chassis can be too heavy to lift
otherwise. At least three people are required: two to install the shelf and one spotter to
engage the rails.

Note - For DE2-24 disk shelves, if a mechanical lift is not available, you can remove the
power supply with fan modules to reduce the weight. See “Servicing the Disk Shelves” in
Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance Customer Service Manual for instructions.

■ A flashlight for the spotter to ensure the shelf is engaged in the rails.

To install a controller, you need the following tools:

■ No. 2 Phillips screwdriver

■ ESD mat and grounding strap
■ Pencil, stylus, or other pointed device, for pushing front panel buttons
■ Optional mechanical lift

You also need a system console device, such as one of the following:

■ Workstation
■ ASCII terminal
■ Terminal server
■ Patch panel connected to a terminal server

How to Disconnect an RJ-45 Cable

Use the following procedure to properly disconnect an RJ-45 cable.

1. Using your index finger, press down fully on the RJ-45 release tab. Be sure the
tab is fully disengaged from the port.

2. Using your thumb and middle finger, apply a slight downward pressure while
pulling the plug out of the port. Do not pull the plug upward or pinch the release
tab with your fingers below the plug, as shown below.

14 Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance Installation Guide • February 2016

 Cabinet Configuration Guidelines

Cabinet Configuration Guidelines

This section contains guidelines for properly placing and connecting the disk shelves.

Cabinet Configuration
■ For safety reasons, mount the heaviest equipment, typically disk shelves, at the bottom
of the cabinet. Refer to the appropriate Oracle Safety and Compliance Guide for rack-
mounting guidelines.
■ To best prepare for cabling controllers to disk shelves, now and in the future, mount
controllers in the middle of the cabinet.
■ Do not span disk chains across multiple cabinets.
■ Do not remove cabinet panels to run cables between cabinets.

Load Distribution
■ To maximize performance, use the maximum number of disk chains supported by the
controller's SAS HBAs. For example, four SAS HBAs with eight chains and eight disk
shelves will have better performance than two SAS HBAs with four chains and eight disk
shelves.
■ Balance the number of disk shelves across the disk chains in your system.
■ The maximum number of disk shelves supported by each disk chain is six.
■ Connect each disk chain to two HBAs if available.
■ Do not mix disks with different capacities or rotation speeds within a single disk shelf.
■ If SAS-2 and SAS-3 drives are in the same disk chain or same disk shelf, the SAS-3 drives
operate at SAS-2 speeds.

Cable Lengths
■ The maximum cable length between DE2-24 disk shelves is two meters.
■ The maximum cable length between Sun Disk Shelves is 0.5 meters.
■ The maximum cable length between a controller and disk shelves is six meters.

Installation Prerequisites and Hardware Overviews 15

Maximum Disk Shelves per Controller

Using DE2-24 and Sun Disk Shelves Together

■ For controllers that support using DE2-24 and Sun Disk Shelves together, the controller
must use 4X4 port SAS-2 HBAs.
■ Do not use DE2-24 and Sun Disk Shelves in the same disk chain.

Maximum Disk Shelves per Controller

The following table shows the maximum supported controller configurations.

Note - Controllers cannot use 2X4 port SAS-2 HBAs and 4X4 port SAS-2 HBAs at the same

Overview of Disk Shelves

Oracle disk shelves are high-availability serial attached SCSI (SAS) devices that provide
expanded storage. The main components are hot-swappable, including drives, I/O Modules
(IOMs) or SAS Interface Module (SIM) boards for connecting to controllers and other disk
shelves, and dual load-sharing power supply with fan modules. This provides a fault-tolerant
environment with no single point of failure. Component status is indicated with lights on the
disk shelf, and in the Maintenance > Hardware screen of the BUI.

Refer to “Replacing the Disk Shelf Hardware” in Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance Customer
Service Manual for procedural information about replacing disk shelf components.

 Cabling the Appliance

This section contains cabling procedures for appliance installation, including connections to
the controller service processor (SP) and network, as well as cabling between disk shelves and
controllers.

Use the following procedures to cable the appliance:

■ “How to Connect System Cables” on page 115
■ “How to Connect Disk Shelf and Controller Cables” on page 116

For cabling and cabinet guidelines, see “Cabinet Configuration Guidelines” on page 15. For
a wide range of specific cabling configurations, refer to the Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance
Cabling Guide.

How to Connect System Cables

Use the following procedure to make a physical serial or network connection to Oracle
Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM), located in the SP. This connection is used for initial
setup and configuration.

It is strongly recommended that you use a serial SP connection for configuring the primary
network interface and for initial configuration because you can monitor progress, especially
during system reboots. Afterwards, it is recommended that you remove the serial connection
if you do not need it for CLI access. Instead, make a network SP connection, which
allows for better collection of platform data, as described in “Troubleshooting Hardware
Faults” on page 139.

1. To prepare for configuring the primary network interface, perform one of the
following SP connections:
■ For a serial SP connection (recommended), attach a serial cable from the SER MGT port on
the rear panel of the controller to the serial port on the administrative client. Use a DB9 to
RJ45 adapter if necessary.
■ For a network SP connection, attach an Ethernet cable from the NET MGT port on the rear
panel of the controller to your Ethernet switch.

Cabling the Appliance 115

How to Connect Disk Shelf and Controller Cables

2. If clustered controllers, repeat to perform an SP connection for the second

controller.

3. Connect an Ethernet cable from the NET-0 port on the rear panel of the controller
to your Ethernet switch.

4. If clustered controllers, connect an Ethernet cable from the NET-1 port on the
second controller to your Ethernet switch.

How to Connect Disk Shelf and Controller Cables

Use the following procedure to connect the cables between storage controller(s) and disk
shelves.

Caution - Do not connect the power cables until instructed to do so in “Powering On the
Appliance” on page 119.

The cabling configuration for your appliance depends on the number and type of controllers and
disk shelves, as well as the number of host bus adapters (HBAs) in your system. Disk shelves
attach to other disk shelves with daisy-chained serial attached SCSI (SAS) cables. Controllers
attach to each disk shelf chain with a longer SAS cable connected via HBAs located in specified
PCIe slots of the controllers. Clustered controllers are attached via three Ethernet cables that
provide redundant communication channels: two serial links and an Ethernet link. The cabling
methodology designed for the appliance includes bottom-to-top cabling for easier growth with
optimum safety, strategic slot placement for optimum load distribution and performance, and
interface redundancy for clustered controllers, ensuring no single point of failure.

1. Locate the appropriate cabling configuration for your system in the Oracle ZFS
Storage Appliance Cabling Guide.

■ Cabling DE2-24 Disk Shelf to 4X4 Port SAS-2 HBAs

■ Cabling DE2-24 Disk Shelves to 2X4 Port SAS-2 HBAs
■ Cabling Sun Disk Shelves
■ Cabling Mixed DE2-24 and Sun Disk Shelves

2. Connect cables between disk shelves and between storage controller(s) and
disk shelves.
If clustered controllers, be sure to connect the cluster cables as described in Connecting the
Cluster Cables in Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance Cabling Guide.

How to Configure Management Interfaces

How to Configure Management Interfaces

Use the following procedure to configure a network interface card (NIC) port as a management
interface.

The ports correspond to the interfaces as described in the following table. The interface names
are subject to change.

Port Interface
NET-0 igb0
NET-1 igb1
NET-2 igb2
NET-3 igb3

All standalone controllers should have at least one NIC port configured as a management
interface. All cluster installations should have at least one NIC port on each controller
configured as a management interface. In addition, the NIC instance number must be unique on
each controller.

For clustered controllers, it is recommended that you lock the management interfaces. See
“How to Lock Cluster Management Interfaces (BUI)” on page 135 and “How to Lock
Cluster Management Interfaces (CLI)” on page 136.

1. In the BUI, navigate to Configuration > Network.

2. Click the plus icon next to Interfaces.

3. Enter a name for the interface.

4. Check the boxes for "Enable Interface" and "Allow Administration."

The "Allow Administration" option makes it a management interface, enabling BUI
connections on port 215 and CLI connections on ssh port 22.

5. Choose an IP address protocol.

6. Click APPLY.

 How to Lock Cluster Management Interfaces (BUI)

How to Lock Cluster Management Interfaces (BUI)

Use the following procedure to lock the management interfaces on clustered controllers after
initial configuration.

A private (locked) management interface provides BUI and CLI access to a controller
regardless of whether the controller is in the active or passive state. Because all non-private
interfaces are taken over by the active controller after a failover, a passive controller must have
a private management interface to remain accessible through its BUI and CLI.

Caution - Failure to configure locked management interfaces on clustered controllers may lead
to longer than necessary fault diagnosis and resolution times.

Before You Begin In some cases, this may require installation of an additional network interface card on each
controller in a cluster configuration.

1. Failback the appliance to Active/Active mode.

a. Navigate to Configuration > Cluster > Failback.

b. Click "OK" to confirm.

2. In the BUI of the first controller, navigate to Configuration > Cluster.

3. In the BUI of the second controller, navigate to Configuration > Cluster.

4. From the BUI of the first controller, choose the management interface for the
first controller from the Resource list.

5. Click the padlock icon to lock the management interface to this controller.
The interface displays a locked icon next to its name in the Resource list.

6. From the BUI of the second controller, choose the management interface for the
second controller from the Resource list.

7. Click the padlock icon to lock the management interface to this controller.
The interface displays a locked icon next to its name in the Resource list.

controller in a cluster configuration.

1. Failback the appliance to Active/Active mode.

a. Go to configuration cluster and use the failback command.

hostname: configuration cluster failback

Continuing will immediately fail back the resources assigned to the cluster
peer. This may result in clients experiencing a slight delay in service.

Are you sure? (Y/N)

b. Type Y to confirm.

2. Go to configuration cluster resources.

3. Choose the management interface for the first controller using the select
command:

controller-a:> configuration cluster resources select net/igb0

4. Lock the interface by setting the type to private:

configuration cluster resources (uncommitted)> set type=private

configuration cluster resources (uncommitted)> commit

5. Choose the management interface for the second controller using the select
command:

How to Update Controller Software

Use this procedure to update storage controllers to the latest software and associated firmware.
Maintaining controller software in advance of putting your appliance into production enables
you to reap the greatest benefits of recent software enhancements. In many cases, a simple
software update will resolve an issue observed in testing or provide you with new enhancements
that improve productivity.

Before You Begin ■ Ensure that any resilvering operations have completed by checking the Configuration >
Storage screen.
■ Ensure that there are no active problems on the Maintenance > Problems screen.
■ Verify that hardware firmware updates are not in progress on the Maintenance > System
screen.
■ Read the Release Notes associated with the software update and address any release-specific
prerequisites.

1. Click the "Sign In" link at My Oracle Support (http://support.oracle.com).

The Oracle Single Sign-On screen appears.

2. Log in using your Oracle account credentials.

3. Download the desired software update.

The file is downloaded locally.

4. Unzip the downloaded file using an archive manager or by issuing the unzip
command.

 Troubleshooting Hardware Faults

In rare cases, faults associated with uncorrectable CPU errors are not diagnosable or displayed
in the controller. These faults will be preserved by and observable in the Oracle ILOM, located
in the service processor. Connect to Oracle ILOM on the server platform to diagnose hardware
faults that do not appear in the BUI.

Caution - Failure to configure Oracle ILOM connectivity might lead to longer than necessary
hardware fault diagnosis and resolution times.

For more detailed information about Oracle ILOM, see “Using ILOM to Diagnose Hardware
Faults” in Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance Customer Service Manual. Also see the Oracle ILOM
documentation located in the documentation library for this software release at http://www.
oracle.com/goto/zfsstorage/docs.

How to Connect to Oracle ILOM

After configuring the primary network interface and performing initial configuration, it is
recommended that you retain a connection to Oracle ILOM, located in the controller SP, for
troubleshooting hardware problems that do not otherwise appear in the appliance software.

The server Oracle ILOM provides options for (i) network and (ii) serial port connectivity.
Network connection is the preferred choice, as the Oracle ILOM serial port does not always
allow adequate means of platform data collection.

1. Perform one of the following SP connections:

■ For a network SP connection (recommended), attach an Ethernet cable from the NET MGT
port on the rear panel of the controller to your Ethernet switch.
■ For a serial SP connection, attach a serial cable from the SER MGT port on the rear panel
of the controller to the serial port on the administrative client. Use a DB9 to RJ45 adapter if
necessary.

2. For clustered controllers, repeat for the second controller.
