2 Servicing the Storage System
Use this chapter to perform removal and replacement procedures on the HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000
Storage systems.
CAUTION: Before servicing any component in the storage system, prepare an Electrostatic
Discharge-safe (ESD) work surface by placing an antistatic mat on the floor or table near the storage
system. Attach the ground lead of the mat to an unpainted surface of the rack. Always use a
wrist-grounding strap provided with the storage system. Attach the grounding strap clip directly to
an unpainted surface of the rack.
For more information on part numbers for storage system components listed in this chapter, see
the Illustrated Parts Catalog (page 56).
Service Processor Onsite Customer Care

SPMAINT (Service Processor Maintenance) in the Command Line Interface (CLI), where you perform
various administrative and diagnostic tasks to support both the storage system and the SP.
To open SPOCC, enter the SP IP address in a web browser and enter your user name and password.
Figure 27 SPOCC Support page
Accessing the HP 3PAR Management Console

To access the HP 3PAR Management console:
1. Double-click the exe to open the console.
2. Enter your user name and password.
3. Under the Systems tree in the left panel, select the storage system to be serviced to connect.
CSR
HP products are designed with many Customer Self Repair (CSR) parts to minimize repair time
and allow for greater flexibility in performing defective parts replacement. If during the diagnosis
Service Processor Onsite Customer Care 25

period HP (or HP service providers or service partners) identifies that the repair can be accomplished
by the use of a CSR part, HP will ship that part directly to you for replacement.
The materials shipped with a replacement CSR part specify whether a defective part must be
returned to HP. When required, you must ship the defective part to HP within a defined period of
time, normally five business days. The defective part must be returned with the associated
documentation in the provided shipping material. Failure to return the defective part could result
in HP billing you for the replacement. With a CSR component, HP pays all shipping and part return
costs and determines the courier/carrier to be used.
For more information about CSR, contact an HP-authorized service provider or go to http://
www.hp.com/go/selfrepair. To order parts, contact an HP-authorized service provider or go to
http://www.hp.com/buy/parts.
NOTE: Some HP parts are not designed for customer self repair. To satisfy the customer warranty,
HP requires that an authorized service provider replace such parts.
Types of CSR
Mandatory You order the part directly from HP and repair the product yourself. Onsite or
return-to-depot repair is not provided under warranty.
Optional You can order the part directly from HP and repair the product yourself, or you
can request that HP repair the product. If you request repair from HP, you may be charged
for the repair, depending on the product warranty.
NOTE: In some instances, remote support by an HP authorized service provider may be

needed to fully diagnose a part failure.
No The replaceable part is not available for self repair. For assistance, contact an
HP-authorized service provider to replace the part. These parts include the drive and node
enclosures, the I/O modules, PCMs, and internal components of the controller node in the HP
3PAR StoreServ 7000 systems.
Types of CSR components include:
Disk drive
Controller node
Small Form-Factor Pluggable Transceiver (SFP)
Accessing Replacement Videos

HP produced videos of the procedures to assist you in replacing components. To view the videos,
go to the HP Customer Self Repair Services Media Library website and navigate to your product:
http://www.hp.com/go/sml
Parts-only Warranty Service

Your HP Limited Warranty may include a parts-only warranty service. Under the terms of parts-only
warranty service, HP provides replacement parts free of charge. For parts-only warranty service,
CSR part replacement is mandatory. If you request HP to replace these parts, you are charged for
the travel and labor costs of this service.
Identifying a Replaceable Part

Parts have a nine-character spare part number on their labels. For some spare parts, the part
number is available in the system. Alternatively, the HP call center can assist in identifying the
correct spare part number.

Figure 28 Product label with HP Spare part number
Swappable Components
Colored touch points on a storage system component (such as a lever or latch) identify whether
the system should be powered on or off during a part replacement:
Hot-swappable Parts are identified by red-colored touch points. The system can remain
powered on and active during replacement.
CAUTION: Disk drives are warm swappable even though they have yellow touch points.
However, they should only be removed on the advice of a qualified 3PAR administrator or
HP service technician after the fault LED is turned on, and after all the data has been vacated
and reconstructed to other drives.
Warm-swappable Parts are identified by gray touch points. The system does not fail if the
part is removed, but data loss may occur if the replacement procedure is not followed correctly.
Cold-swappable Parts are identified by blue touch points. The system must be powered off
or otherwise suspended before replacing the part.
CAUTION:
Do not replace cold-swappable components while power is applied to the product. Power off
the device and then disconnect all AC power cords.
Power off the equipment and disconnect power to all AC power cords before removing any
access covers for cold-swappable areas.
When replacing hot-swappable components, allow approximately 30 seconds between
removing the failed component and installing the replacement. This time is needed to ensure
that configuration data about the removed component is cleared from the system registry. To
prevent overheating due to an empty enclosure or bay, use a blank or leave the slightly
disengaged component in the enclosure until the replacement can be made.
Nodes must be replaced within 30 minutes and all other parts within 6 minutes.
Before replacing a hot-swappable component, ensure that steps have been taken to prevent
loss of data.
Getting Recommended Actions

This section explains the steps required to get from an alert message to the action associated with
the alert.
The Component line in the right column lists the cage number, magazine number, and drive number
(cage:magazine:disk). The first and second numbers are sufficient to identify the exact disk in a
StoreServ system, since there is always only a single disk (disk 0) in a single magazine. The
information displayed in the Component line depends on the type of components causing the alert.
Getting Recommended Actions 27

1. Follow the link to alert actions under Recommended Actions (see Figure 29 (page 28)).

The following describes how to power the storage system on and off.
WARNING! Do not power off the system unless a service procedure requires the system to be
powered off. Before you power off the system to perform maintenance procedures, first verify with
a system administrator. Powering off the system will result in loss of access to the data from all
attached hosts.
Powering Off
Before you begin, use either SPMAINT or SPOCC to shut down and power off the system. For
information about SPOCC, see Service Processor Onsite Customer Care (page 25).
NOTE: PDUs in any expansion cabinets connected to the storage system may need to be shut
off. Use the locatesys command to identify all connected cabinets before shutting down the
system. The command blinks all node and drive enclosure LEDs.
The system can be shutdown before powering off by any of the following three methods:
Using SPOCC
1. Select StoreServ Product Maintenance.

2. Select Halt a StoreServ cluster/node.
3. Follow the prompts to shutdown a cluster. Do not shut down individual Nodes.
4. Allow 2-3 minutes for the node to halt, then verify that the node Status LED is flashing green
and the node hotplug LED is blue, indicating that the node has been halted. For information
about LEDs status, see Understanding LED Indicator Status (page 7).
5. Turn off power to the node PCMs.
6. Turn off power to the drive enclosure PCMs.
7. Turn off all PDUs in the rack.
Using SPMAINT
1. Select option 4 (StoreServ Product Maintenance).
2. Select Halt a StoreServ cluster/node.
3. Follow the prompts to shutdown a cluster. Do not shut down individual Nodes.
Using CLI Directly on the Controller Node if the SP is Inaccessible

1. Enter the CLI command shutdownsys halt. Confirm all prompts.
CAUTION: Failure to wait until all controller nodes are in a halted state can cause the system
to view the shutdown as uncontrolled. The system will undergo a check-state when powered
on if the nodes are not fully halted before power is removed and can seriously impact host
access to data.
Powering On
1. Set the circuit breakers on the PDUs to the ON position.
2. Set the switches on the power strips to the ON position.
3. Power on the PCMs on all the drive enclosures sequentially.
NOTE: To avoid any cabling errors, all drive enclosures must have at least one or more
hard drive(s) installed before powering on the enclosure.
4. Power on the node enclosure PCMs.

5. Verify the status of the LEDs, see Understanding LED Indicator Status (page 7).
Disengaging the PDU Pivot Brackets

To access the vertically mounted power distribution units (PDU) or servicing area, the PDUs can
be lowered out of the rack.
1. Remove the two top mounting screws.
2. Pull down on the PDU to lower.
Disengaging the PDU Pivot Brackets 29

NOTE: If necessary, loosen the two bottom screws to easily pull down the PDU.
3. Ensure the PDUs are in a fully lowered position before accessing.
Figure 30 Disengaging the PDU Pivot Brackets
Repairing a Disk Drive

Verify that you have the correct drive model replacement and that the drive is supported with the
current HP 3PAR operating system patch level. For example, if using CLI, use the following
commands:
showversion -a -b (for HP 3PAR OS and patch level)

showpd -failed (failed disk(s) ID, location, type, and capacity)
showpd -i (for drive model)
showversion -a -b
showpd -failed
showpd -i

Use the following instructions for replacing failed disk drives or solid-state drives (SSD).
WARNING! If the StoreServ is enabled with HP 3PAR Data Encryption feature, only use the
self-encrypting drives (SED). Using a non-self-encrypting drive may cause errors during the repair
process.
CAUTION:
Disk drives are warm swappable even though they have yellow touch points. However, they
should only be removed on the advice of a qualified 3PAR administrator or HP service
technician after the fault LED is turned on, and after all the data has been vacated and
reconstructed to other drives.
If you require more than 10 minutes to replace a disk drive, install a disk drive blank cover
to prevent overheating while you are working.
To avoid damage to hardware and the loss of data, never remove a disk drive without
confirming that the disk fault LED is lit. Removal of a drive before verifying its status can at
best cause the 3PAR operating system to mark the drive as failed and prevent re-installation,
even though the drive is mechanically sound, and at worst cause data corruption or loss.
NOTE: SSDs have a limited number of writes that can occur before reaching the SSD's write
endurance limit. This limit is generally high enough so wear out will not occur during the expected
service life of an HP 3PAR StoreServ under the great majority of configurations, IO patterns, and
workloads. HP 3PAR StoreServ tracks all writes to SSDs and can report the percent of the total
write endurance limit that has been used. This allows any SSD approaching the write endurance
limit to be proactively replaced before they are automatically spared out. An SSD has reached the
maximum usage limit once it exceeds its write endurance limit. Following the product warranty
period, SSDs that have exceeded the maximum usage limit will not be repaired or replaced under
HP support contracts.

failed drive is dismissed and dropped from the display.
4. Open a CLI session. Issue the checkhealth command to verify the system is working properly.
Controller Node Replacement Procedure

When the failure notification is received customers should contact their Authorized Service Providers
(ASPs) for assistance with failure verification, identification of the exact component to be replaced,
and the location of the failed node, if replacement is required.
CAUTION:
Customers should replace a controller node only on StoreServ 7200 Storage; other internal
components should be serviced by ASPs.
Alloy gray-colored latches on components such as the node mean the component is
warm-swappable. HP recommends shutting down the node (with the enclosure power remaining
on) before removing this component. Contact your ASP for node diagnosis and shutdown.
To prevent overheating, node replacement requires a maximum service time of 30 minutes.
Ensure that cables are labeled before shutting down the node and removing the cover.
Be sure to put on your electrostatic discharge wrist strap to avoid damaging any circuitry.
NOTE: Do not order a replacement node until the ASP has verified the failure, including a
procedure to reset the node.
Preparation
When the replacement part has been received, complete the following steps before contacting
your ASP for assistance with preparation for replacement:
1. Unpack the replacement node and place it on an ESD safe mat.
2. Remove the node cover:
a. Loosen the two thumbscrews that secure the node cover to the node.
b. Lift the node cover and remove.
3. If a PCIe adapter exists in the failed node:
a. Unpack the replacement PCIe adapter and place it on a ESD safe mat.
b. Remove the PCIe adapter riser card from the replacement node by grasping the blue
touch point on the riser card and pulling the riser card up and away from the node.
c. Insert the replacement PCIe adapter onto the riser card.
Controller Node Replacement Procedure 37

d. Replace the PCIe adapter assembly by aligning the recesses on the adapter plate with
the pins on the node chassis. This should align the riser card with the slot on the node.
Snap the PCIe adapter assembly into the node.
4. Replace the node cover:
a. While aligning the node rod with the cutout in the front, and the guide pins with the
cutouts in the side, lower the node cover into place.
b. Tighten the two thumbscrews to secure the node cover to the node.
5. Pull the gray node rod to the extracted position, out of the component.
Node Identification and Shutdown

Contact your ASP for assistance in completing this task.
Node Removal
1. Allow 2-3 minutes for the node to halt, then verify the Node Status LED is flashing green and
the Node UID LED is blue, indicating that the node has been halted.
CAUTION: The system will not fail if the node is properly halted before removal but data
loss may occur if the replacement procedure is not followed correctly.
NOTE: The Node Fault LED may be amber, depending on the nature of the node failure.
Figure 41 Verify Node LED Status
2. At the rear of the rack, remove cables from the failed node.
3. Pull the gray node rod to remove the node from the enclosure.
4. When the node is halfway out of the enclosure, use both hands to slide the node out completely.
5. Set the node on the ESD safe mat next to the replacement node for servicing.
6. Push in the failed nodes grey rod to ready it for packaging and provide differentiation from
the replacement node.
Node Installation
1. Move both SFPs from the onboard FC ports on the failed node to the onboard FC ports on
the replacement node:
a. Lift the retaining clip and carefully slide the SFP out of the slot.
b. Carefully slide the SFP into the FC port on the replacement node until fully seated and
close the wire handle to secure it in place.

2. If a PCIe adapter is installed in the failed node, move the SFPs from the PCIe adapter on the
failed node to the PCIe adapter on the replacement node:
a. Lift the retaining clip and carefully slide the SFP out of the slot.
b. Carefully slide the replacement SFP into the adapter on the replacement node until fully
seated. Close the wire handle to secure it in place.
3. On the replacement node, ensure that the gray node rod is in the extracted position, pulled
out of the component.
4. With your hands grasping each side of the replacement node, gently slide it into the enclosure.
Ensure the node is aligned with the grooves in the slot.
CAUTION: Ensure that the node is correctly oriented; alternate nodes are rotated 180.
5. Keep sliding the node in until the it halts against the insertion mechanism.
CAUTION: Do not proceed until the replacement node has an Ethernet cable connected.
Without an Ethernet cable, node rescue cannot complete and the replacement node will not
be able to rejoin the cluster.
6. Reconnect the cables to the node, including the backend SAS cables. On the 4-node arrays,
also reconnect the node interconnect cables.
7. Push the extended gray node rod into the node to ensure the node is correctly installed.
CAUTION: If the blue LED is flashing, it is an indication that the node is not properly seated.
Pull out the grey node rod and push it back in to ensure that the node is fully seated.
NOTE: Once inserted, the node should power up and go through the node rescue procedure
before joining the cluster. This may take up to 10 minutes.
8. Verify the node LED is blinking green in synchronization with other nodes, indicating that the
node has joined the cluster.
9. Follow the return instructions provided with the new component.
NOTE: If a PCIe adapter is installed in the failed node, leave it installed. Do not remove and
return it in the packaging for the replacement PCIe adapter.
Controller Node Replacement Procedure 39

Node Verification
1. Verify the node is installed successfully:
a. Under the Systems tree in the left panel, double click the storage system just serviced.

3 Using Strong Passwords
This chapter explains the strong password functionality in 3PAR operating systems beginning with
the HP 3PAR OS 3.2.2 release. The industry-wide use of static vendor-only service user passwords
is not advised in todays security- and compliance-aware sites. This functionality replaces those
types of passwords in StoreServ systems. There are two modes of support: time-based passwords
and encrypted ciphertext passwords.
Time-based Passwords
Time-based passwords are unique to each service user account and StoreServ. They change each
hour and can only be generated in the HP support center to authorized HP employees and
contractors. If you are operating in time-based mode, you cannot change passwords since they
change automatically each hour.
If you choose time-based passwords, you do not need to change your HP support processes. Service
personnel from HP can acquire the password when needed without your interaction required.
Encrypted Ciphertext Passwords

Encrypted ciphertext passwords are randomly created on the StoreServ for each service user
account. You can change these passwords any time; however, the passwords are not known to
your or to HP. Recovery is only possible by exporting the ciphertext for transmission to HP, where
an authorized support center user can decrypt the ciphertext to provide the password to on-site
HP service personnel or contractors.
If you choose encrypted ciphertext passwords, you need to export the ciphertext and provide it to
the HP personnel working with you. The ciphertext is pasted into a tool at HP that can unwrap and
decrypt the ciphertext to recover the password. After the support activity is complete, you can
change the password so that the recovered password is no longer valid.
Exporting Ciphertext
In the encrypted ciphertext mode, use the controlrecoveryauth ciphertext <user>
command to export the ciphertext for a service account. This command displays the ciphertext
associated with the specified service user account. You can copy and paste that ciphertext into an
email to the HP support center or to the HP support engineer who is working with you.
The ciphertext is protected from exposure if you email it. The random credential contained in the
ciphertext is first encrypted and is then wrapped using a public key. This makes the ciphertext
secure for transmission, because only the corresponding private key at HP can unwrap the encrypted
credential.
Changing the Ciphertext Password

To change passwords in encrypted ciphertext mode, use the controlrecoveryauth rollcred
<user> command. This causes a new random password to be generated and assigned to the
specified service user account.
The two accounts that are affected are root and console. On the StoreServ, these user accounts
are not used for most maintenance actions.
Time-based Passwords 45
Setting or Changing the Password Mode
To query or change the current setting of the strong service account password system, use the 3PAR
CLI command controlrecoveryauth (to change the mode from time-based to encrypted
ciphertext, for example).
To query the current mode, use the command controlrecoveryauth status.
To change the mode, use the command controlrecoveryauth setmethod
[totp|ciphertext], choosing either totp (time-based passwords) or ciphertext.

A Installing Storage Software Manually
WARNING! Use this procedure only if access to HP SmartStart CD or the Storage System and
Service Processor Setup wizards are not available.
This appendix describes how to manually set up and configure the storage system software and
SP. You must execute these scripted procedures from a maintenance laptop after powering on the
storage system.
Connecting to the Maintenance Laptop

You can connect the maintenance laptop directly to a controller node or SP using the connector
cables. Once you have established a serial or Ethernet connection, you can access the CLI to
perform maintenance procedures.
Connecting the Maintenance Laptop to the Controller Node

Connect the RJ45 cable to the controller node MGMT port (known as the public interface) to the
maintenance laptop with a LAN connection.
For a two-node system, both nodes need to be connected to the public network. HP recommends
that each node of a four-node system have a public network connection. If only two connections
are used on a four-node system, each node pair should have a connection. Node pairs are 01
and 23.
Connecting the Maintenance Laptop to the HP 3PAR Service Processor

See the HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 Storage Installation Guide.
Serial Cable Connections

The gray adapter for the maintenance laptop (PN 180-0055) is used on the serial port for connection
to the controller node MFG port. You will need a USB-to-serial adapter on a modern maintenance
laptop to have a serial port.
The black adapter for the SP (PN 180-0059) connects the Ethernet port on the maintenance laptop
to the maintenance port on the SP.
Maintenance Laptop Connector Pin-outs

Connect the maintenance laptop to the serial port on the SP using a standard Ethernet cable and

version for compatibility. Update the SP with the proper InForm OS version before adding
additional systems.

Exporting Test LUNs

As the final step in verifying the storage system installation, create two or three test LUNs and
confirm that the attached host or hosts can access them. After you have created the test LUNs and
verified that the host can access them, notify the system administrator that the storage system is
ready for use.
NOTE: Before you can export test LUNs, you must determine the host Fibre Channel connection
types and set the appropriate port personas for all target ports, or ports that connect to host
computers. See the HP 3PAR Implementation Guides where appropriate.
Defining Hosts
In order to define hosts and set port personas, you must access the CLI. For more information about
the commands used in this section, see the HP 3PAR OS Command Line Interface Reference.
To set the personas for ports connecting to host computers:
1. In the CLI, verify connection to a host before defining a host:
192.168.46.249 cli% showhost
2. Define a new system host as follows:
192.168.46.249 cli% createhost -persona <hostpersonaval> <hostname> <WWN>...
where <hostpersonaval> is the host persona ID number, <hostname> is the name of the
test host, and <WWN> is the WWN of an HBA in the host machine. This HBA must be physically
connected to the storage system.
52 Installing Storage Software Manually

3. After you have defined a system host for each physically connected WWN, verify host
configuration information for the storage system as follows:
192.168.46.249 cli% showhost
4. Use the controlport command to set each target port as follows:
192.168.46.249 cli% controlport config <connmode> [-ct loop | point]

<node:slot:port>
where <connmode> is the name of the disk, host, or rcfc. The -ct subcommand sets the
connection type and is optional. Use loop for the disk; loop or point for the host; and
point for rcfc. The <node:slot:port> specifies the controller node, PCI slot, and PCI
adapter port to be controlled.
5. When finished setting each connected target port, verify that all ports are set correctly.
192.168.46.249 cli% showport -par
Creating and Exporting Test Volumes

For more information about the commands used in this section, see the HP 3PAR OS Command
Line Interface Reference.
To create and export test volumes:
1. In the CLI, create a common provisioning group test to verify the system can create and export
virtual volumes.
192.168.46.249 cli% createcpg test_cpg
2. Create a virtual volume.
192.168.46.249 cli% createvv <usr_CPG> test0 256
3. Create a VLUN of the virtual volume for export to the host.
192.168.46.249 cli% createvlun test0 0 <hostname>
4. Verify that the host can access the VLUN.

5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 for each host.
6. From the SP, type exit to stop the CLI session, then type x and press Enter to return to the
SP main menu. Type x and press Enter again to exit. Type exit and press Enter to log off
the SP. Disconnect the cables between the SP and the maintenance laptop.
Exporting Test LUNs 53

B Connecting to the Service Processor
You can connect the maintenance laptop to the service processor (SP) either through a serial
connection or an Ethernet connection (LAN). When you are connected to the SP by a serial or
Ethernet connection, there are two SP user interfaces know as SPOCC and SPMAINT. Use either
interface to perform various administrative and diagnostic tasks.
NOTE: Connecting to the SP through the LAN (Ethernet) requires establishing a Secure Shell
Session (SSH). If you do not have SSH, connect to the serial port of the SP.
Using a Serial Connection

To use a serial connection:
1. Locate the SP and attach the DB9 crossover serial adapter (P/N 1800055) that is at the free
end of the blue Ethernet cable to the Serial port on your maintenance laptop. Use a standard
Category 5 Ethernet cable with the appropriate RJ-45 to DB9 adapter to connect to the DB9
Serial port of SP.
2. Insert a standard Category 5 Ethernet cable into the SP serial port with the DB9 crossover
serial to RJ45 adapter (P/N 1800055).

# Ports Description
1 Ethernet ports: Use to establish an Ethernet

NIC1 (left) connection to the SP.
NIC2 (right) Use NIC1 for Public.
Use NIC2 for Private (SPOCC).
2 Serial port Use to establish a serial connection

to the SP.
3. Power on the maintenance laptop.
54 Connecting to the Service Processor

4. Use the following table as a guideline to adjust the serial settings of the maintenance laptop
before using a terminal emulator, such as HyperTerminal, Attachmate Reflection X, SecureCRT,
or TeemTalk to communicate with the SP and perform various tasks to support the storage
system.
