Preparing to add host interface cards
Before adding HICs to E5700 controller shelves, you must perform a number of steps using SANtricity System Manager and
SANtricity Storage Manager to prepare your system. You must back up the storage array's configuration database, collect
support data, and stop host I/O operations. You must also power down the controller shelf.
Steps
1. From the home page of SANtricity System Manager, ensure that the storage array has Optimal status.
If the status is not Optimal, use the Recovery Guru or contact technical support to resolve the problem. Do not continue with
this procedure.
2. Back up the storage array's configuration database.
If a problem occurs when you remove a controller, you can use the saved file to restore your configuration.
a. Open the Enterprise Management Window (EMW) for SANtricity Storage Manager on your management station.
b. Select the storage array.
c. Select Tools > Execute Script.
d. Type the following command in the text box.
save storageArray dbmDatabase sourceLocation=onboard contentType=all file="filename";
In this command,
filename
is the file path and file name to which you want to save the database. Enclose the file name
in double quotation marks (" "). For example:
file="C:\Program Files\CLI\logs\dbmdata.zip"
