9.4.3.1 ETERNUS Disk Storage System Fault

This section describes the procedure for replacing the ETERNUS Disk storage system for each cabinet.

When Replacing Primary Storage

  1. When ETERNUS-A fails during operation while the TFO status of ETERNUS-A is "Active", if the Failover mode is "Auto", Automatic Failover is performed. If the Failover mode is "Manual", perform a Manual Failover.

  2. Remove the fiber channel cable connected to the CA port of ETERNUS-A. For iSCSI configurations, remove the LAN cable.

  3. If ETERNUS-A is being operated using the AdvancedCopy Manager Copy Control Module function, stop the management service of AdvancedCopy Manger CCM.
    Refer to "(g) Stopping management service" of "Table 9.7 When Using AdvancedCopy Manager Copy Control Module Function" for the stop procedure of the management service.

  4. Refer to "9.4.3.7 Deleting Storage Cluster Environment" to delete the TFO group.
    For FC configurations, in order to take over the logical WWPN/WWNN set in ETERNUS-B, check the WWPN Handover checkbox and delete the TFO group.
    For iSCSI configurations, the WWPN Handover checkbox is displayed but grayed out.

  5. Remove ETERNUS-A.

  6. In ETERNUS-C, create the same business volume as ETERNUS-A that is in the process of being removed. At this time, do not hard wire the business server and ETERNUS-C.

  7. Configure the Storage Cluster environment with ETERNUS-B as the Primary Storage and ETERNUS-C as the Secondary Storage.
    For iSCSI configurations, be sure to configure the CA port of ETERNUS-C after configuring a TFO group.

  8. Connect the fiber channel disconnected in step 2 to the CA port of ETERNUS-C and hard wire the connection to the business server. For iSCSI configurations, connect the LAN cable and hard wire the connection to the business server.

  9. After confirming that the TFO group phase of ETERNUS-B is "Normal", perform a Manual Failover.

  10. Remove the fiber channel cable connected to the CA port of ETERNUS-B. For iSCSI configurations, remove the LAN cable.

  11. Refer to "9.4.3.7 Deleting Storage Cluster Environment" to delete the TFO group.
    For FC configurations, in order to take over the logical WWPN/WWNN set in ETERNUS-C, check the WWPN Handover checkbox and delete the TFO group.
    For iSCSI configurations, the WWPN Handover checkbox is displayed but grayed out.

  12. Configure the Storage Cluster environment with ETERNUS-B as the Secondary Storage and ETERNUS-C as the Primary Storage.
    For iSCSI configurations, be sure to configure the CA port of ETERNUS-B after configuring a TFO group.

  13. Reconnect the business server to ETERNUS-B which was disconnected in step 10.
    An initial copy from ETERNUS-C to ETERNUS-B is completed, and it returns to former state of the operation.

  14. When operating AdvancedCopy Manager, configure the AdvancedCopy Manager environment.
    Refer to "(d) Configuring the AdvancedCopy Manager environment" in "Table 9.7 When Using AdvancedCopy Manager Copy Control Module Function" or in "Table 9.8 When Using AdvancedCopy Manager Replication Management Function" for the configuration procedure.

Note

Do not reconnect ETERNUS-A after deleting the TFO group set in ETERNUS-B in step 4. For FC configurations, there is a possibility that data corruption may occur due to WWPN/WWNN duplication. For iSCSI configurations, there is a possibility that data corruption may occur due to duplication of the iSCSI IP address.

When Replacing Secondary Storage

  1. Delete ETERNUS-B from the product and remove it so that it is not managed.

  2. If ETERNUS-B is being operated using the AdvancedCopy Manager Copy Control Module function, stop the management service of AdvancedCopy Manger CCM.
    Refer to "(g) Stopping management service" of "Table 9.7 When Using AdvancedCopy Manager Copy Control Module Function" for the stop procedure of the management service.

  3. Refer to "9.4.3.7 Deleting Storage Cluster Environment" to delete the TFO group.

9.4.3.7 Deleting Storage Cluster Environment

To delete the Storage Cluster environment, delete TFO Groups.

Deleting TFO Groups clears the Storage Cluster operation, clearing the synchronization of volumes, too.

For FC configurations and when removing the Primary Storage after failover to the Secondary Storage, the Storage Cluster operation must be canceled and the logical WWPN/WWNN set for the ports to the Secondary Storage must not be canceled but inherited. At that stage, specify WWPN Handover.

Note

  • Do not specify WWPN Handover when the Primary storage is in a connected state.

  • For iSCSI configurations, make sure that one of the following items is satisfied before deleting:

    • The storage device in the standby side or the storage device to be replaced is not connected to SAN.

    • The iSCSI IP address of the iSCSI port is not a duplicate in the same network.

Delete TFO Groups in the following steps:

  1. When operating AdvancedCopy Manager, stop the copy session and delete the AdvancedCopy Manager environment.
    Refer to "(a) Stopping the copy session" and "(c) Deleting AdvancedCopy Manager environment settings" in "Table 9.7 When Using AdvancedCopy Manager Copy Control Module Function" or in "Table 9.8 When Using AdvancedCopy Manager Replication Management Function" for the copy session stop procedure.
