Solution

DISPATCH INSTRUCTIONS*

WHAT SKILLS DOES THE ENGINEER NEED:(IS A SITE ENGINEER AVAILABLE?)
S3000 series training

TIME ESTIMATE: 15 minutes

TASK COMPLEXITY: 1

PROBLEM OVERVIEW:
FC cable going from a host/switch to the array is marginal/damaged or failed and needs to be replaced.

WHAT STATE SHOULD THE SYSTEM BE IN TO BE READY TO PERFORM THE RESOLUTION ACTIVITY? :

System can be up and running with I/O enabled as long as the connection between the hosts/switches and the array is redundant
(i.e. alternate path and path failover mechanism in place). In case it is not , I/O should be stopped.

WHAT ACTION DOES THE CUSTOMER NEED TO TAKE:

1) Identify the defective cable by looking at the array SFP link status LEDs. If a link status LED is off, it means that the SFP is empty, it has no FC connection,
or the FC connection has failed.

2) Unplug the defective FC Cable from the SFP in the array

3) Unplug the defective FC cable from the SFP in the HBA or switch

4) Plug one end of the new FC cable into the SFP in the array

5) Plug the other end of the new FC cable into the SFP in the HBA or switch

6) Check array log to confirm path is available


WHAT ACTION DOES THE CUSTOMER NEED TO TAKE TO RETURN THE SYSTEM TO AN OPERATIONAL STATE:

Verify path(s) are accessible to the hosts and fibre channel loops are online

Resume I/O if needed
