How to Remove and Replace VLE Server System Battery

Solution

CAP PROBLEM OVERVIEW: Replacing System Lithium Battery

DISPATCH INSTRUCTIONS

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

VLE, ZFS, Solaris and Sun X64 Training

TIME ESTIMATE: 150 minutes

TASK COMPLEXITY: 2

FIELD ENGINEER INSTRUCTIONS

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

1. Quiesce all IO between VTSS and the VLE storage appliance and shutdown the server.

To quiesce IO between VTSS and the VLE storage appliance, vary offline all of the VL-RTDs. With
the VL-RTDs offline, no migrations will occur. If a VTV is being migrated at the time, it should be
allowed to complete. VTVs queued to be migrated will remain queued. That may result in some
repetitive error messages from VTCS (e.g. no RTDs available).

Depending on how long the VLE will be offline, customers can choose to live with the messages or they can change applicable management classes to a temporary management class that doesn't require immediate migration. When the VLE is available again, change the management class back to the original.

To shutdown the VLE server, issue the following commands after login:

PLEASE NOTE:
These instructions were written for earlier versions of VLE code and threrefore instructions that must be run with root privileges are prefaced with the 'pfexec' command.  Newer versions of code do not use 'pfexec'.  If you are running more current VLE code then instead of using 'pfexec' preface these kinds of commands with 'sudo'.

# pfexec sync
# pfexec sync
# pfexec init 5

2. Power off the server and disconnect all power cords from the server power supplies.

WHAT ACTION DOES THE ENGINEER NEED TO TAKE:

1. Extend the server to the maintenance position.

2. Remove the top cover.

3. Remove the Battery.

3.1 The Battery is Located just Between USB 2.0 connectors (2) and PCIe card slots 5--9

3.2 Remove the battery from the battery holder by pulling back on the metal tab holding it in place and sliding the battery up and out of the battery holder.

4. Install the Battery.

4.1 Press the new battery into the battery holder with the positive side (+) facing away from the metal tab that holds it in place.

4.2 If the service processor is configured to synchronize with a network time server using the Network Time Protocol (NTP), the ILOM clock will be reset as soon as the server is powered on and connected to the network. Otherwise, proceed to the next step.

4.3 If the service processor is not configured to use NTP, you must reset the ILOM clock using the ILOM CLI or the web interface.

5. Return Server to Operation:

5.1 Install the top cover.

5.2 Return the server to the normal rack position.

5.3 Reconnect all power cords to the server power supplies and power on the server.

5.4 After the battery is replaced, use the BIOS Setup Utility to update the System Time and System Date.

OBTAIN CUSTOMER ACCEPTANCE

WHAT ACTION DOES THE CUSTOMER NEED TO TAKE TO RETURN THE SYSTEM TO AN OPERATIONAL STATE:Restart system and have the System administrator verify functionality of system.
