Introduction

This document provides an overview of the inspection process for VxFlex Ready Node

servers.

When the node is powered on, the front panel blue LED should light up and be steady.

In addition, neither the power supplies nor drives should have any amber LEDs lit.

If the front panel LEDs are either blinking or colored amber, or if the drives light up an

amber LED, use the information in the following sections to check the nodes. The

sensor information and the Event log information are available via the BMC. You can

access the information on the drives from the PERCCLI utility.

Before you begin, ensure that you know the IP address of the BMC (iDRAC) port on

the server.

Perform the following steps to inspect a server:

lCheck the hardware installation.

Server Inspection Guide

Introduction 3

lCheck the sensors.

lEnable the disk utility.

lVerify the drive status.

lPrepare the hardware for failure analysis, if necessary.

Hardware installation checklist

Prerequisites

Prerequisites for inspecting a server in the VxFlex Ready Node environment are as

follows:

General prerequisites

lEnsure that you know the IP address range, subnet, and gateway IP addresses for

the BMC (iDRAC) port for all servers.

lTo connect via a service PC or laptop computer using SSH/RDP, ensure that the

computer has a functional network port and an available IP address (and subnet

and gateway) on the management network.

lFor console operations (KVM access), ensure that you have either a VGA tool kit

to allow console connection from a laptop computer to a server, or a computer

screen and keyboard connection to the rack.

Java requirements

Use Required version

VxFlex OS GUI Java 1.8 latest update

Server Inspection Guide

Prerequisites 5

Use Required version

BMC (iDRAC) management client (Java

console)

Java 1.7 latest update

In your Internet browser, ensure that pop-ups are enabled (or enabled just for the

Java console features).

Internet browsers

The following internet browsers are supported:

lFirefox 30 or higher

lInternet Explorer 8 or higher

lGoogle Chrome

Verify the status of the system hardware, storage

controller, and disks

Verify the status of the system hardware, storage controller, and disks on a VxFlex

Ready Node server.

Before you begin

Ensure that you know:

lThe IP address of the BMC (iDRAC) port

lThe username and password for the BMC (iDRAC) portal (default username and

password are root and password)

Procedure

1. From a browser, go to http://

2. In the DELL Console Login window, type the user name and password, and

then click Login.

The Dashboard displays the high-level status of all hardware devices in the

System Health pane.

In an ideal scenario, all hardware sensors are green.

3. Navigate to Maintenance > System event log.

The System Event Log pane is displayed with color-coded severity levels.

4. Check whether the System Event Log displays either of the following RAID

controller errors:

lThe PERC1 battery has failed

lIntegrated RAID Controller 1 is unable to recover cached

data from the Battery Backup Unit (BBU).

If either of these alerts appears in the system event log, it is possible that the

RAID storage controller has failed and requires replacement. Refer to the

VxFlex

Ready Node v 2.x Integrated Storage Controller Card Replace FRU Guide

. In order

to avoid data loss or data integrity issues, ensure that you follow the special

procedure for preparing the server for part replacement when RAID controller

errors occur.

5. Check whether either of the following errors occurs for a physical disk:

Maintenance

6Maintenance

lThe rebuild of Disk 0 in Backplane 1 of Integrated RAID

Controller 1 failed due to errors on the source physical

disk.

lA block on Disk 0 in Backplane 1 of Integrated RAID

Controller 1 was punctured by the controller.

If either of these alerts appears in the system event log, one of the disks on the

SDS may have failed and requires replacement. Refer to the relevant

VxFlex

Ready Node v2.x Disk Replace FRU Guide

. In order to avoid data loss or data

integrity issues, follow any additional instructions for replacing a disk when

either of these errors occurs.

6. Ensure that any power supply- and fan-related events in the event log are non-

repetitive. Repetitive events may be due to the intermittent nature of faults,

such as poor physical connections.

For repetitive events, it is recommended that you remove the relevant hardware

module and replace it in its socket.

7. In the navigation pane, select Storage > Overview > Controller.

A table displays the controller-related information, with the controller type in

the Name column. For example:

lESXi: PERC H740P Mini (Embedded)

lLinux: PERC H740P Mini (Embedded)

lWindows: PERC H740P Adapter (PCI Slot 4)

8. In the navigation pane, select Storage > Physical Disks.

A table displays information regarding the physical disks, and an option to

Blink/Unblink the selected disk.

9. Verify that no disk is in failed state.

If any of the disks is failed, refer to the relevant Disk Replace FRU.

10. In the navigation pane, select System.

11. In the Inventory pane, verify that the server drivers and firmware in the

Firmware Inventory list match the required versions, as published in the

ScaleIO Ready Node Driver and Firmware Matrix.

If the driver and firmware versions do not match the matrix, you must update

them. See "Updating the BIOS, firmware and settings" in the

VxFlex Ready Node

Hardware Configuration and Operating System Installation Guide

for the relevant

operating system.
