    HP StorageWorks Disk System 2120 Setting the SCSI IDs for the Disk Modules Determine which SCSI addresses are not being used on the host system. Refer to your system administration manual for information on determining which SCSI addresses are available on the host system.
  • Page 14: Installing The Disk System

    HP StorageWorks Disk System 2120 Keep in mind that the host bus adapter should have the highest SCSI address priority. See Table 5 below. SCSI Address Priority TABLE 5 SCSI ID 7 Priority Highest Lowest Installing the Disk System See the installation instructions enclosed with your rackmount kit.

  • Page 16: Connecting The Power Cable

    HP StorageWorks Disk System 2120 Connecting the Power Cable Ensure that the connection of multiple units to the supply circuit does not CAUTION overload the supply overcurrent protection or the supply wiring. Refer to the storage electrical ratings when determining the correct branch circuit rating for your installation.
  • Page 17: Power Off The Disk System

    HP StorageWorks Disk System 2120 Power Off the Disk System Back up all data if the disk system is still operational. Ensure that no data on disk modules within the disk system is being accessed. Unmount any file systems associated with the disk system that is going to be powered off.
  • Page 18: Adding Disk Modules

    HP StorageWorks Disk System 2120 Adding Disk Modules Disk modules can be added, removed, and replaced while the disk system is running. Because the disk modules can be handled in this way, they are called hot-pluggable. The SCSI addresses for the disks are set using the addressing switches on the back of the disk system.
  • Page 19: Configure The New Disk Module

    HP StorageWorks Disk System 2120 Installing a Disk Module FIGURE 11 Configure the new Disk Module Configure a new disk module within your application. These procedures should be performed only by qualified system CAUTION administrator. Performing hot-plug operations on an active disk drive can result in data loss or corruption.
  • Page 20: Replace A Disk Module

    HP StorageWorks Disk System 2120 Prepare the software environment to remove the drive. See your operating system documentation for instructions and procedures required to remove a disk module. It may be necessary to unmount file systems associated with the disk drives installed in the disk system.
  • Page 21: Remove The Disk System

    Reverse the installation instructions enclosed with the rackmount kit for your cabinet: A7552A - Hewlett-Packard Rack Systems/E for Enterprise Systems A5680A - all other Hewlett-Packard rack systems for Enterprise Systems purchased before November 1998. If your disk system is a factory-integrated unit, see the figure below for removal instructions.

    HP StorageWorks Disk System 2120 Setting Up the Hardware Event Monitor (HP-UX Only) Hardware event monitors run on HP-UX hosts, versions 10.20 and later. The Disk Monitor (disk_em) monitors all disks bound to sdisk drivers. Consequently, if the Disk Monitor is active on your host, it is already set up to monitor the disks of a new disk system.
  • Page 23: Event Notification (Hp-Ux Only)

    HP StorageWorks Disk System 2120 Event Notification (HP-UX Only) The Disk Monitor, an EMS hardware event monitor, reports changes in disk status. Depending on how the monitor is set up, it sends messages to the console, an e-mail address, a log file, or a third-party application. These messages give early notice of a disk problem.
