Disk I/O module LEDs
The disk I/O module LEDs status conditions are defined in “Disk I/O module LEDs” on page 15.
Starting the drives
Unless otherwise selected during installation, all drives in the enclosure should start automatically.
If they do not start, there may be a power problem (an alarm and power fault indication would
normally be active).
Disk drive LEDs
Each drive carrier incorporates two indicators, an upper (green) and lower (orange).
• In normal operation, the green LED is ON and flickers as the drive operates.
• The orange LED is OFF In normal operation. It is only ON if there is a drive fault.
• If the green LED is OFF when the orange LED is ON, a power control circuit failure is indicated.
Starting StorView
At start-up, embedded StorView looks at the user preferences settings to determine if an IP address
exists. If one is defined, StorView initializes the network interface using that IP address. In the event
an IP address is not defined, StorView attempts to get a DHCP IP address. You need to contact your
network administrator for the IP address assigned by the DHCP server. To identify the new IP
address, you can look for esv0 or esv1 in your DHCP manager software. If an IP address cannot
be determined, StorView uses a default IP address of 10.1.1.5 for controller 0 and 10.1.1.6 for
controller 1. If an error is encountered, it assigns the embedded StorView server the IP address
10.1.1.7.
The first time you start StorView, you need to configure the network settings. On the first startup,
you are prompted for a user name and password. The default user name is admin and the default
password is password. You should change your password to protect your array. See the Gateway
E-842R StorView Storage Management Software User Guide for additional information.
Power down
You can turn off the enclosure at any time. If cached contents are present (look at the Cache Active
LED on the controller module), they are saved by the internal battery. If the enclosure is left in
this state for extended periods, the batteries discharge and the cached data is lost. Therefore, we
recommend that you shut down the controller prior to powering off the enclosure, especially if
the unit is to be powered down for an extended period. This ensures that the cache is flushed to
disc and prevents the battery from being discharged. Discharged batteries may also result in
reduced performance when the array is again powered up, because the write-back cache is
disabled until the batteries are fully charged.
To power down the enclosure:
1 Shut down the controller through the GUI interface. For more information, see the Gateway
E-842R StorView Storage Management Software User Guide.
2 Disconnect AC power at the power source.
