Storage-system components
The AX4-5 series storage system consists of rack-mountable
storage-system enclosures, 3.5 inches (2U) high, that contain 4 to 12
serial advanced technology attachment (SATA) or serial attached SCSI
(SAS) disk drives.
The AX4-5 and AX4-5SC storage systems use a Fibre Channel arbitrated
loop (FC-AL) or Fibre Channel switch (FC-SW) as an interconnect
interface to host servers. The AX4-5i and AX4-5SCi storage systems use
the Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) protocol.
The AX4-5 and AX4-5SC are also called the AX4-5F and AX4-5FSC, respectively.
Models with four Fibre Channel host ports per controller are called AX45F8
or AX45FX, and AX45SCF4 or AX45FSCX. The AX4-5i and AX4-5SCi are
also called the AX4-5I and AX4-5ISC, respectively.

Navisphere management software manages the storage systems from

any qualified workstation on a shared Ethernet LAN. Sophisticated
RAID (redundant array of independent disk) technology and data
caching prevent data loss in case of component failure. Redundant
hardware options provide levels of high availability usually restricted
to much larger (and more expensive) storage systems. Besides
economical disks, the AX4-5 series storage systems include the
following major components:

A disk-processor enclosure (DPE-AX). A DPE-AX contains one

(AX4-5SC or AX4-5SCi) or two (AX4-5 or AX4-5i) storage processors
(SPs), each with:
z

One dual-inline memory module (DIMM)

One serial port (mini DB9 connector) for service

One 10/100/1000 Ethernet LAN port (RJ45 connector) for

management

For the AX4-5 or AX4-5i, one serial port for connection to a

standby power supply (SPS)

One input/output (I/O) module per SP, each with:

For the AX4-5 or AX4-5SC, two or four 4-Gbps Fibre Channel

host ports with small form factor pluggable (SFP) connectors

Hardware and Operational Overview

For the AX4-5i or AX4-5SCi, two Gigabit Ethernet (GigE)

ports

Two power supply/system cooling (power/cooling) modules

AX4-5 and AX4-5i systems include a standby power supply (SPS); a

second SPS is optional. AX4-5 and AX4-5i systems support as many as
four optional disk array enclosures (DAE-AXs). Like the DPE-AX, each
DAE-AX includes two power/cooling modules and can contain a total
of twelve disk drives. Instead of SPs, a DAE-AX has two link control
cards (LCCs) that manage disks on a single redundant back-end bus.
You can install, upgrade, or replace all of the major storage-system
components without professional assistance.

Each DPE-AX includes at least four hard disk drives. The first four
disks, marked 0-3, are system disks (sometimes called vault disks) and
contain vital software specific to the physical slot they occupy in the
chassis. Do not move a system disk from its assigned slot to another slot.
Remove a system disk only if you need to replace it because it failed.

CL3880

Figure 5

DPE-AX system (vault) disks

If a drive fails, you can replace it with another while the storage system
continues running; software rebuilds the contents of the original disk
onto its replacement.
DPE-AX and DAE-AX chassis have twelve slots for disk modules. Any
unoccupied disk module slot requires a filler module to maintain air
flow.

Disk modules
Each disk module, shown in Figure 6, consists of one disk drive in a
carrier. You can add or remove a disk module while the storage system
is powered up, but you should exercise special care when removing
drives while they are in use.

Hardware and Operational Overview

Figure 6

Disk module

Disk drives
The disk drives are standard 3.5-inch (8.75-cm) by 1.0-inch (2.54-cm)
serial advanced technology attachment (SATA) or serial attached
SCSI (SAS) drives. AX45 systems also support 2.5inch SAS drives
mounted in 3.5inch drive carriers. For a detailed list of supported
disk drives and the minimum revision of the FLARE operating
environment (OE) that supports each disk, refer to the Disk and FLARE
OE Matrix under Technical description on the Learn page on the
storage-system support website or contact your service provider.
Drive carrier
The disk drive carrier is a plastic assembly that provides smooth,
reliable contact with the enclosure slot guides and system board
connectors. It has a handle with a latch and spring clips. The latch
holds the disk module in place to ensure proper connection with the
connectors.

Hardware and Operational Overview

Storage processors (SPs)

The storage processor (SP) is the storage systems intelligent component
and acts as the input/output (front end) and data storage (back end)
control center. Besides the processor board and memory DIMM, each
SP includes an I/O module that determines the connection protocol
to host servers.
DPE-AX systems with two SPs support write caching for increased
performance. The redundant storage processors also provide high
availability should one SP fail or lose power.

Hardware and Operational Overview

Link control cards (LCCs)

Optional disk array enclosures (DAE-AXs) do not include SPs, but use
link control cards (LCCs) to support additional disk capacity. The LCCs
in each DAE-AX connect to expansion ports on SPs or other LCCs with
serial-attached SCSI (SAS) expansion cables to create a redundant
back-end bus that can support both SATA and SAS drives. Each LCC
includes a display indicating the enclosure address of the DAE-AX; the
address is assigned automatically by the system. LCCs also include a
service port connector. An LCC receives input from the previous SP
or LCC on the bus through a primary connector (marked by a circle
symbol) and can pass input to the next LCC on the bus through an
expansion connector (marked by a diamond symbol).
Figure 7 shows a DAE-AX with two LCCs below the power/cooling
modules.

Power/cooling modules
Each power/cooling module integrates an independent power supply
and blowers into a single module. The power supply in each module
is an auto-ranging, power-factor-corrected, multi-output, offline
converter.
The power/cooling modules, A and B, are located above the SPs
or LCCs. They share load currents and provide power and cooling
for an entire enclosure. An SP, LCC, or power/cooling module with
power-related faults does not adversely affect the operation of any
other component. If one power/cooling module fails, the other
compensates until the failed module is replaced. If the failed module is
in a dual-SP DPE-AX, the system also disables write caching. Removing
a power/cooling module from the enclosure causes a cooling fault that
will shut down the enclosure within two minutes.

Hardware and Operational Overview

Standby power supplies (SPSs)

A 1U, 1000-watt SPS provides backup power for power supply A. An
optional second SPS supports power supply B. During a power failure,
the SPSs allow write caching to continue, which prevents data loss. A
faulted or not fully charged SPS disables the write cache. Each SPS rear
panel has one AC inlet power connector with power switch, AC outlets
for the DPE-AX SPs, and one connector for serial connection to an SP.
Figure 8 shows the SPS connectors and status lights.

Hardware and Operational Overview

Powerup and powerdown sequence

A DAE-AX does not have a power switch. It powers up immediately once it
is connected to a live power source.

Powering up the storage system

1. Verify the following:

Master switch/circuit breakers for any cabinet/rack power strip

are off.

The power cord for power/cooling module A in the DPE-AX

(viewed from the rear, A is the right side of the enclosure) is
plugged into the SPS, if present, and the power cord retention
bails are in place. In a storage system without an SPS, the power
cord for power/cooling module A is plugged directly into a
power source.

The power cord for power/cooling module B is plugged into the

nearest power distribution unit on a different circuit feed than
the SPS or module A. In systems with two SPSs, power/cooling
module B is plugged into its corresponding SPS.

In a dual-SP system, the serial connection (sense cable) between

SP A and SPS A is in place. If the system has two SPSs, the serial
cable between SP B and SPS B is in place.

The power cords for the SPSs and any DAE-AXs are plugged
in; the power cords for the A and B sides do not share a power
source; and, the power cord retention bails are in place.

Any other devices in the cabinet are correctly installed and

ready for powerup.

Figure 9 shows a storage system with one SPS correctly cabled for
high availability.

The storage system can take 5-6 minutes to complete its powerup.
If disk modules 0-3 shipped separately from your DPE-AX, the system
writes vital information to those disks during the first powerup. The
process extends the first powerup by 25-30 minutes.

storage system management software is available to help you

troubleshoot the system.
If the power buttons do not remain solid/steady green, contact
your authorized service provider.

Powering down the storage system

CAUTION
Never shut down a DPE-AX by disconnecting the AC power cords for
its power/cooling modules. Bypassing the controlled powerdown in
that manner prevents the system from saving any write cache data to
the system drives, and may result in data loss.
1. Stop all I/O activity to the DPE-AX. If the server connected to the
DPE-AX is running the AIX, HP-UX, Linux, or Solaris operating
system, back up critical data and then unmount the file systems
on storage-system virtual disks.
Stopping I/O allows the SP to save any cache data to the system drives,
and may take some time. The length of time depends on criteria such as the
size of the cache, the amount of data in the cache, the type of data in the
cache, and the target location on the disks, but it is typically less than one
minute. We recommend that you wait five minutes before proceeding.

2. For a dual-SP system, after five minutes, use the power switch on
each SPS to turn off power to its corresponding SP.
SPs with power/cooling modules connected to an SPS power down
within two minutes.
3. Push the power button on SPs that are not connected to an SPS:
