Unpredictable

results

can

occur

when

nonmatching

controller

CRUs

are

present

in

the

same

DS4100

chassis.

v

After

the

new

controller

in

a

DS4100

single-controller

storage

server

completes

the

boot

process,

its

WWNN

will

change.

If

you

have

any

applications

that

rely

on

the

previous

WWNNs,

such

as

fibre

channel

switch

zoning

definitions,

you

must

update

the

applications

with

the

new

WWNNs.

v

All

factory-delivered

DS4100

RAID

controllers

are

shipped

with

a

recent

version

of

controller

firmware

loaded

on

the

RAID

controller,

but

that

firmware

version

might

not

match

precisely

the

firmware

version

of

the

failed

RAID

controller

you

have

replaced.

When

you

replace

one

of

the

RAID

controllers

in

the

DS4100

base

storage

server,

the

newly

replaced

controller

will

automatically

be

updated

with

the

controller

firmware

version

of

the

existing

controller

in

the

DS4100

chassis.

However,

when

you

replace

the

RAID

controller

in

the

DS4100

single-controller

storage

server,

if

the

firmware

version

of

the

replacement

RAID

controller

is

determined

to

be

incompatible

with

the

configuration

database

during

the

boot

process,

the

DS4100

single-controller

storage

server

will

enter

a

Stop

State

and

will

not

allow

any

DS4000

Storage

Manager

operations

to

be

performed.

In

this

case,

you

must

manually

upgrade

or

downgrade

the

replacement

RAID

controller

firmware

to

match

the

version

required

by

the

configuration

database.

See

“Manually

upgrading

the

firmware

for

the

DS4100

single-controller

storage

server”

on

page

103.

Do

not

use

the

RAID

controller

replacement

procedure

in

this

section

to

upgrade

a

DS4100

single-controller

storage

server

to

a

DS4100

base

storage

server.

Currently

there

is

no

support

for

upgrading

a

DS4100

single-controller

storage

server.

When

such

support

is

available

in

the

future,

the

DS4100

single-controller

storage

server

upgrade

kit

and

the

revised

edition

of

this

document

will

provide

the

upgrade

instructions.

In

a

DS4100

base

storage

server,

you

can

hot

swap

one

controller

while

the

other

is

still

active.

The

figures

in

this

procedure

show

the

base

storage

server.

If

your

storage

server

is

the

single-controller

storage

server,

controller

slot

B

will

have

a

blank

controller

rather

than

the

second

controller

as

shown

in

these

figures.
