power cord plug or the power cord.
If the power cord is disconnected during operation, it could cause data loss or failure.
To prevent electric shock, connect the power cords of the disk array unit and extended
BBU to outlets that have ground terminals.
Grounding to an object such as a gas pipe is hazardous and must never be done.
Warnings concerning batteries
The batteries of the disk array unit could explode if brought near flames or soaked in
water.
When lithium batteries (button batteries) and nickel metal hydride batteries no longer
operate correctly due to their life spans, do not disassemble, exchange, or charge them
yourself, but contact your sales or maintenance service agent.
x
CAUTION
It is recommended that setup and maintenance of the disk array unit be entrusted to
service engineers with specialized knowledge from your maintenance service agent.
For details, contact your sales agent.
Although installation and maintenance of the disk array unit can be done by customers
themselves, they must understand that Bull and its sales agents shall not assume
responsibility for any damage to the disk array unit, its components, or connected
devices or for any outcome occurring during, before, or after operation when customers
do these things themselves.
When installing the disk array unit, follow the documentation in the Disk Array Unit
Installation Guide.
The Disk Array Unit Installation Guide is included in the accompanying CD.
Because the disk array unit is precision equipment, do not expose it to strong vibrations
or shock, regardless of whether the power is on or off.
Do not disconnect a disk drive, cable, or other part while the power is on.
If customers themselves change connections of the disk array unit system once it has
been configured, there is a risk of operation ceasing or data disappearing. To change
connections, it is recommended that you ask your maintenance service agent.
To expand the system, turn off the power of the disk array unit and remove power cords
from outlets.
Not doing so could cause failure or electric shock.
xi
CAUTION
Be sure to perform backup of the data of the disk array unit regularly.
It is recommended that particularly important files be backed up on media such as
magnetic tape.
Reason: The disk array unit, which is available on strictly hard failures, cannot cope
with unexpected vibrations or shocks, power cuts due to electrical outages, or soft
faults. Damage from soft faults can be kept to a minimum by performing backups.
A hard failure is a phenomenon such as a disk drive being damaged or a disk drive
being unable to rotate.
A soft fault is a phenomenon such as a human error or a host malfunctioning.
It is recommended that the latest software and firmware for the disk array unit be used.
The disk array unit could be destroyed if you power it off or it becomes powered off
while updating its firmware. Be sure that it does not become powered off during a
firmware update.
Do not power off the disk array unit or the host unit or reset the host unit if the
ACTIVE/FAULT LED (green or orange) of a disk drive of the disk array unit is
blinking, if the host unit shows that a disk is being accessed, or if it shows that
initialization is in progress.
If a fault occurs in the disk array unit, the SERVICE LED of the disk array unit and the
FAULT LED corresponding to the faulted component illuminate.
When faults occur, contact your sales or maintenance service agent.
Cautions concerning power
If a component of the disk array unit normally is not fully inserted or is loose, or if a
cable normally is not fully inserted or is loose, it could cause failure.
Always connect all power supplies of the disk array unit and pass current through them.
If no current is passed, data is not duplicated and data may be lost. A power supply that
is not connected is judged to be abnormal.
xii
CAUTION
Cautions concerning disk drives
A disk drive is an electronic device.

When handling one, take measures against static electricity, such as using a wrist strap.
If you do not have a wrist strap, firmly place one hand on the unpainted metal surface of
the disk drive before handling it.
Mount three disk drives in the disk array unit at locations 00, 01, and 02 of the unit. If
these are not mounted, data may be lost.
Do not remove more than one of the drives at locations 00, 01, and 02 of the disk array
unit while the power to the unit is off. Moreover, do not turn off the power if more than
one of the drives at locations 00, 01, and 02 are removed. If you remove drives, data may
be lost.
When adding disk drives or changing the locations at which disk drives are mounted, be
sure to work on one at a time in powering them on. Install the next disk drive after
confirming that the installed disk drive is ready.
When installing a disk drive, lock the ejector after it has been inserted fully. Not inserting
it fully may cause failure.
Do not change the locations at which disk drives are installed if logical disks have been
configured. Data may be lost.
xiii
CAUTION
Cautions concerning batteries
The batteries of the disk array unit have a life span.

If batteries are used past their life span, the backup time cannot be guaranteed and user
data may be destroyed on a power outage.
When replacing batteries due to their life span, a request for battery purchase and
maintenance must be made.
Ask your sales or maintenance service agent for details.
As the life span of this equipments battery, it will be short if there is many times of
backup.
The life span of battery is set up just for the condition of unexpected power supply
cutting like a power failure.
For normal use, please cut the power supply according to a regular power supply
cutting procedure. (There is an exception partly. For the details, please refer to 5.2
Notes on Turning Off the AC Power.)
In addition, the life span of this equipments battery shortens with condition of a high
temperature.
The life span is for 5 years with condition of 25 degrees Celsius, but with condition of
plus 10 degrees Celsius the life span becomes about a half of that (2 years and a half).
Performance may deteriorate while charging the battery of the disk array unit.
Reason: Fast writing in which a cache is used is not done unless the battery is fully
charged, since backup time on a power outage cannot be guaranteed.
When disposing of batteries of the disk array unit, do so in accordance with local
government regulations.
For details, contact your local government. The unit is equipped with batteries as follows.
Each controller: Lithium battery (button battery)
Each controller: Nickel metal hydride battery
Each extended BBU: Nickel metal hydride battery
xiv
CAUTION
Cautions concerning cables
For the SAS cables used in connections in the disk array unit, use cables and cable
lengths specified by Bull. If cables other than those specified are used, data can be lost.
Check cable specifications and connectors so that there will be no wiring errors.
If the unit were operated with wiring errors, data could be lost. When correcting wiring, it
may be necessary to erase all disk drive data.
When installing, confirm that there is no bending or other damage, dust adhesion, or dirt
on connectors or contacts.
Do not forcibly insert cable connectors.

A connector cannot be connected unless it is inserted with the correct orientation and at
the correct angle.
When inserted correctly, they go in smoothly without applying excessive force. If you
cannot insert one successfully, do not forcibly insert it, but check the orientation and
shape of the connector.
Handle cable connectors carefully so that they are not dropped on a floor and damaged.
Do not place excessive strain on the connector portion or the cable portion of an installed
cable.
Do not deform a cable by stepping on it or putting heavy objects on it.
Treat SAS cables with care and respect. Rough treatment of the cables may cause
deterioration of characteristics or mechanical damage (line disconnection).
(How to treat SAS cables)
1. Make allowance for cable forming.
2. Do not forcibly stretch a cable or otherwise stress it.
3. Ensure a minimum bending radius of 80 mm.
xv
CAUTION
Cautions concerning LAN
In connecting to the Storage Manager, be sure to connect to a LAN port and not to a MNT
port.
Assign different addresses for the IP address of the CONT#0 LAN and the IP address of
the CONT#1 LAN. This disk array unit does not support several features, including
teaming.
Set Auto Detect for servers, hubs, and other devices connected to the LAN.
Reason: Connecting to a device in full duplex mode could cause abnormal operation.
If settings do not match, it may be impossible to connect intermittently even if
a connection is established temporarily.
To set Speed and Detect settings other than Auto Detect, ask your sales or
maintenance service agent.
Use a shielded straight cable to connect a LAN cable via a hub or a shielded cross cable to
connect it directly.
Do not place excessive strain on the cable portion or connector portion of an installed
LAN cable. Do not deform the cable by stepping on it or putting heavy objects on it.
Cautions concerning UPS
Constructing a system configuration in which a UPS is used allows the system to operate
stably even if an accidental power interruption or momentary AC power outage occurs.
Consult your sales or maintenance service agent concerning configuring a system in
which a UPS is used.
Do not use a UPS other than the ones specified.

Operation is not guaranteed if you use one other than one that is specified.
xvi
Indication on Safety
The warning label is attached to components with possible danger or their vicinity in your disk array
unit to inform the user that a hazardous situation may arise when operating the disk array unit. (Do not
intentionally remove or damage any of the labels.)
If you find any labels totally/partially removed or illegible due to damage, contact your sales
representative.

Note. If the unit is 2 controller model, push power button of either CONT 0 or CONT1.
It is unnecessary to push both buttons.
AC power of disk enclosure part will turn on sequentially, corresponding with the disk array
unit.
55
3. Wait until the POWER LED (green) on the front side turns on and SERVICE LED (orange) LED
turns off.
Note. After turning the power on, SERVICE LED (orange) blinks while initializing and performing a
self-test.
If SERVICE LED (orange) doesnt turn off or POWER LED (green) doesnt illuminate after
ten minutes, there is a possibility of failure.
Refer to Chapter 7 Troubleshooting.
When using snapshot function or data replication function, initializing time and self-test times
will differ from referred to above.
4. Turn on the application server.
Note. Turn on the application server after the disk array unit starts normally.
2.8.3.Notes on Turning On the AC Power

1. Notes on Turning ON from the Battery Backup State
It takes up to 8 hours from the battery being discharged until it is fully charged.
When it is not fully charged, fast writing that uses the cache (Cache Fast Write) is not done, which
lowers performance.
Since the cache cannot be retained at power-off, data is written to the disk without using the cache.
The retention time of a battery that is not fully charged cannot be guaranteed.
2. Startup Procedure when losing the user data
Follow the procedures below when failed to perform backup operation.
<Startup when data in the cache has been lost>

(1) After you turn on the unit, the service LED repeats blinking for 5 seconds ON and 7 seconds
OFF. The unit does not start normally.
(2) Turn off the unit by following 5.1 Power-Off Procedure.
(3) Turn on the unit by following 2.8.2 Power-On Procedure.
Note. Charging the battery takes up to 8 hours.
If the unit does not start normally, there is a possibility of a failure.
3. Instructions for the use of snapshot function
With the snapshot function, the management information for an update difference will be copied
from a disk drive to the cache memory when the disk array device starts.
Therefore, for starting disk array, it delays about 10seconds per 1TB of update difference data.

Manager client offers the following two types of GUI.
- Web-based GUI
- Windows-based GUI
This manual documents installation methods for the Web-based GUI.
If it is necessary to distinguish them specifically in the text, the term Storage Manager client (Web
GUI) is used to indicate just the former and the term Storage Manager client (Win GUI) is used to
indicate just the latter.
The Storage Manager client runs only in a Windows environment.
For details, refer to the Storage Manager Installation Guide accompanying BaseProduct.
In an environment in which the Storage Manager client (Web GUI) is running, if a

product that runs using a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) has already been
installed, they can coexist and operate only if the environment conforms to the
condition below.
- The latest versions of everything within the JRE that is installed in the
environment in question must be supported by both the Storage Manager client
(Web GUI) and the other product.
If this condition is not met, the Storage Manager client (Web GUI) or the other
product must be operated on another machine.
At initial installation, use the JRE that is stored on the Storage Manager CD.
Supported JREs may include versions for which security vulnerabilities have been
reported. Therefore, it is recommended that the latest version among these JREs be
used after installation.
Refer to the pages below for details about security vulnerabilities.

5. Power-Off Procedure
5.1. Power-Off Procedure
1. When powering off, first turn off the power of the application server.
2. Press the power button at the right end of the rear face of the disk array unit for at least five
seconds.
The READY LED blinks rapidly if power is disrupted.
Note. If two controllers are installed, press the power button on either of the controllers. You
need not press both buttons.
Pressing the power button continuously for 10 seconds or longer will forcibly turn off the
power. This may be bad for the disk array unit. Accordingly, stop pressing the button as
soon as possible after power-off is accepted.
3. The power of the disk array unit and of disk enclosures is turned off within ten minutes. (All LEDs
other than those on the power supplies go off and the fans stop rotating.)
4. Turn off the AC power of the disk array unit, extended BBU, and disk enclosures.
Disconnect the AC power of the disk array unit and disk enclosures by unplugging the AC input
receptacle or disconnecting it at a breaker.
- Start power-off for the disk array unit and disk enclosures after power-off of the
application server is completed.
- Turn off the AC power only after the RDY LEDs go off.
- If one or more disk enclosures are connected to the disk array unit, always turn
off the AC power of the disk enclosures after power-off of the disk array unit is
completed.
175
5.2.Notes on Turning Off the AC Power
1. User data backup
If you disconnect the AC power without performing the procedures in 5.1 Power-Off Procedure, the
disk array unit saves the cache by battery.
Product Name Without Extended BBU With Extended BBU

Optima1500i 24 hours 72 hours (3 days)
Table 5.1 Battery Backup Retention Time
- User data cant be retained over battery backup retention time. When passing the
retention time, user data may loss.
- When cases more than the prescribed battery backup retention time exceed 4
times a year, life of the battery shortens. (The battery cannot be guaranteed.)
- The extended BBU varies by product name.
2. Instruction when using Data Replication Function
Update difference Information* managed by data replication function is built on the storage system
volume or cache memory. When that storage system volume is not built, the information of update will
be built on cache memory. So the device changes in a battery backup state when it stops however the
power supply of a disk array unit is cut exactly according to procedure in 5.1 Power-Off Procedure.
In this state, when it is over battery backup time limit of a disk array device, storage system
information on a cache memory disappears, and it will be in condition as follows.
* Information of storage system
Activity State Synchronous State State of Pair

Separated
A difference becomes all domains.
(separated)
Separate State
Separate Execution The state becomes fault and copy is
(sep/exec) stopped.
Synchronous Execution

(rpl/sync)
Restore Execution The state becomes fault and copy is
(rst/exec) stopped.
Restore State A difference becomes all domains,
Synchronous State
replication starts again from the beginning
(rst/sync)
automatically.
Table 5.2 Data Replication Function
176
For restoration of the pair which became fault, please perform the following replication work.
1. Perform Forced Separate operation in RV object.

2. Perform restoring operation again. ( Replicate Separate or Restore )
Caution. Copying will be started again, all domains of an ethic disk become objective, it will be full
copy.
In the case of using replication function, we recommend firmly to use a storage system information
saving function and build storage system volume from the Storage Manager. Capacity of storage
system volume is 8.9 GB.
Turning off the power supply in a normal procedure, storage system information will be saved in the
storage system volume. In the condition of not being built storage system volume, turning off the
power make the life span of battery short, although storage system information is saved on cache
memory within time of backup. When you dont use storage system volume, we recommend turning it
on within 24 hours.
Note. Storage system information saving function means the function to save storage system
information like a map for a difference of the duties volume (MV) and the reproduction
volume (RV) on the disk drive.
5.3.Auto-Shutdown (Auto cache flush) Function

The auto-shutdown is a function to save user data, difference map, and composition information in a
cache to a disk drive automatically when host IO are not issued for five minutes. When the power is
disconnected without following the normal shutdown procedure with the unwritten data remained on
the cache, battery backup function operates to protect the data on the cache. But if the battery remains
at this status for a long time, the battery will be discharged and the data on the cache may be lost.
As the auto-shutdown function guarantees the data on the cache to be written to the disk drive, data
will be protected although the unit is powered off without following the shutdown procedures.
Completion of the automatic shutdown can be judged by the rapid blinking of the POWER LED.
177
6.Expansion Methods
6.1.Notes on Expansion
Check the precautions and working methods below when performing installation tasks for options
installed in the disk array unit.
Options and cables should be parts that Bull specifies. There is a charge for repairs associated with
malfunction, failure, or damage to the unit that occurs as a result of using parts other than those
specified.
About electrostatic countermeasures
The internal parts of the disk array unit are electronic parts that are weak against static electricity. Be
careful of component failure due to static electricity when working.
- Wearing a wrist strap (arm band, antistatic glove, or other)
Wrap a wrist grounding strap around your wrist. If you do not have one, touching an uncoated
metal surface of the cabinet before touching a part discharges static electricity stored in your body.
Also periodically touch a metal surface while working so that you discharge static electricity.
- Workplace checks
Work on a floor for which measures to prevent static electricity have been taken or on
concrete.
If working on carpet or another location in which static electricity readily occurs, do the work
after taking measures to prevent static electricity.
- Use of work stands
Place the disk array unit on an antistatic mat and do the work on that as well.
- Clothing
Do not work wearing clothing made of wool and synthetic fibers.
Work wearing antistatic shoes.
Remove precious metals (such as rings, bracelets, or watches) before working.
- Parts handling
Put parts to install in antistatic bags until inserting them in the disk array unit.
Hold the edges of each part and do not touch pins or mounting parts.
When storing or transporting parts, put them in antistatic bags.

initialization
< Summary>
- After a disk array power cut, network
settings can be initialized using DIP
switches and the disk array can be reset
later to match management server
network addresses.
205
(1) Changing Network Setting from Storage Manager 1
If the disk array is monitored from Storage Manager, the disk array unit network settings can be
changed from Storage Manager.
Make changes using [Disk Array Setting] [Network] from the menu [File] [Configuration
Settings/Reference] [Configuration Setting] [Individual Setting/Reference]. For details, refer to
the Configuration Setting Tool Users Manual (GUI).
(2) Changing Network Setting from Storage Manager 2

If there is a host connected to the disk array, changes can also be made using the network relief setting
command (iSMnetconf) from the host. For details, refer to the Configuration Setting Tool Users
Manual (GUI).
206
(3) Re-setting by Changing Management Server Setting
Network setting can also be changed by executing the initialization wizard or Configuration Setting
after temporarily making network settings of the current disk array unit coincide with management
server network settings and changing them to make monitoring from Storage Manager possible.

*3: If there is multiple Network Interface Cards (NIC) in the management server, refer to the manual
for each server and OS for the correspondence between IP addresses and Network Interface Card
(NIC).
*4: Since changes to disk array network settings cannot be made until monitoring can be performed
from the Storage Manager server, it is necessary to temporarily change the management server IP
address, subnet mask, and gateway address to configure the disk array so that it can be monitored.
*5: Change the IP address to that of the Network Interface Card (NIC) that is physically connected to
the disk array.
*6: Since the IP addresses of controller 0 and controller 1 cannot be made the same, another IP address
must be set temporarily when switching IP addresses.
*7: To change multiple IP addresses, view device properties in the main screen of the Storage
Manager client and make changes from the side that is not the control path (1).
*8: Since the Storage Manager server environment settings are not changed if the disk array IP address
is changed to an IP address that cannot be monitored after the change, the Storage Manager server
environment settings must be changed manually after making the change.
208
(4) Resetting by Network Setting Initialization
It is possible to initialize the disk array unit network settings in order to perform operations described
in Chapter 4. Initialization of Disk Array from the beginning.
However, only perform this initialization if network setting by the initialization wizard failed.
1. Change DIP switches of the disk array
Change DIP switches by referring to 6.6 Changing DIP Switches.
Changing the second switch (Bit2) of the DIP switches initializes network settings at startup.
Figure 7.2 DIP Switches
If the disk array detects a mismatch between DIP switch memory at the time of unit startup and when
the network was set, it initializes network settings. Accordingly, it is not necessary to restore changed
values (DIP switches).
209
2. Confirmation of Storage Manager server environment setting
If disk array network addresses initialized as mentioned above are registered in the Storage Manager
server Setting Utility program, perform deletion and restart the management server on which Storage
Manager server is installed.
If another disk array is already being monitored, monitoring stops during this interval.
For details about environment setting, refer to the attached Storage Manager Installation Guide.
- When Storage Manager server is a Windows environment

Select the relevant disk array and click the [Delete] button.

3. Execution of initialization wizard from Storage Manager

For disk array DIP switches, controller 0 and controller 1settings need not be the
same.
For initialization, however, change both controller 0 and controller 1.
Make changes to network settings from Configuration Setting for a disk array for
which initialization has already finished and monitoring is being done from Storage
Manager.
If network settings have already been initialized by mistake due to DIP switches,
perform the following minimum necessary setup using the initialization wizard.
1. Initialization wizard startup

Appendix.F. CHAP Authentication
CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) is an authentication method.
1. Overview
At CHAP authentication, a server sends random numbers and characters called Challenge
to a client. The client encrypts its secret (password) by using this Challenge and returns it to
the server. As the server stores the clients secret (password), the server encrypts the secret
similarly. The server compares this result to the encrypted secret returned by the client to
authenticate users.
2. Restrictions on Secret
At this disk array unit, 12 to 32 characters can be used for CHAP secret. But at most initiators,
CHAP secret is limited up to 16 characters (128 bit).As of February, 2009.
Do not set same value to the Initiator CHAP Secret and Target CHAP Secret used at Mutual
CHAP Authentication.
3. Operation mode
a) CHAP authentication of the initiator
Authenticate an initiator from an iSCSI target (disk array side).

Secret is only set to the iSCSI target (disk array side).
b) Mutual CHAP authentication
The iSCSI target (disk array side) and the initiator (server side) perform the authentication
mutually.
Code of the iSCSI targets (disk array side) secret and initiators (server side) secret must be
different.
4. Setting CHAP user name
a) For the CHAP user name of the target side, set the target name CHAP (if assignable).
b) For the CHAP user name of the initiator side, set the initiator name.
Unless otherwise specified, please set the initiator name to the CHAP user name.When setting
other name, set within 256 characters.
