FibreCAT SX Series Operating Manual
1 Introduction
This guide describes how to install, initially configure and operate FibreCATSX series
storage system, and applies to the following models:
FibreCAT SX60 Fibre Channel (FC) Controller Enclosure
FibreCAT SX80 Fibre Channel (FC) Controller Enclosure
FibreCAT SX88 Fibre Channel (FC) Controller Enclosure
FibreCAT SX80 iSCSI Controller Enclosure
FibreCAT SX100 Fibre Channel (FC) Controller Enclosure
FibreCAT SX Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) Expansion Enclosure
This guide does not apply to the FibreCAT SX40 model which is covered by separate
documents.
If there are no differences between the five controller enclosure models, from now on the
together are referred to as FibreCAT SX controller enclosure.
1.1 Product Overview
FibreCAT SX storage systems are high-performance storage solutions that combine
outstanding performance with high reliability, availability, flexibility, and manageability.
FibreCAT SX storage systems are modular, rackmountable, and scalable from a single
controller enclosure configuration to a maximum configuration of eight expansion enclo-
sures behind one controller enclosure.
A controller enclosure can contain two RAID controller modules, which interact and provid
failover capability for the data path. The enclosures can use SAS (with SX80 / SX88 /SX10
only) or SATA disk drives and provides RAID functionality, caching, and disk storage.
The different characteristics of the FibreCAT SX models are itemized in Technical Data o
page 11.
The enclosures can be installed in Fujitsu PRIMECENTER racks or in standard 19-inch EI
racks.

Management Software Introduction
8 FibreCAT SX Series Operating Manual
1.2 Management Software
The embedded management software FibreCAT SX Manager (FSM) includes the tools
outlined in the following topics:
FibreCAT SX Managers Web Based Interface (WBI) FibreCAT SX Managers Command Line Interface (CLI)
1.2.1 FibreCAT SX Manager Web-Based Interface
The FSM web based interface (WBI) is the primary interface for configuring and managing
FibreCAT SX family arrays. A web server resides in each controller module. WBI enables
you to manage FibreCAT SX family arrays from a web browser that is properly configured
and that can access a controller module through an Ethernet connection.
The WBI also includes monitoring and diagnostic features that enable you to view and
collect information that enhances the reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) of
FibreCAT SX family arrays. You can configure the transmission of event notifications(alerts), which can be sent to the screen or to email addresses, and Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) traps, which can be sent to a host system. Events are
recorded in an event log, which you can view.
Information about using the WBI is in its online help and in the FibreCAT SX Series Admin-
istrators Guide.
To access the WBI for the first time, each FibreCAT SX controller module has a default IP
address (IP 10.0.0.1 and Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0). It can be used if the IP address
setting via CLI (see Setting the IP Address Using the CLI on page 73) can not be
performed, e. g. the appropriate serial cable is not on hand.
1.2.2 FibreCAT SX Manager Command-Line Interface
The FSM embedded command line interface (CLI) enables you to configure and manage
an array using individual commands or command scripts through an out-of-band RS-232 or
Ethernet connection.
NOTE
As first time configuration of a FibreCAT SX controller enclosure the IP addresses
of its RAID controller(s) is/are to be set. This step can only be performed by using
the CLI through a RS-232 connection, which you will do in Setting the IP Address
Using the CLI on page 73.
All subsequent usage of the CLI can be performed with a terminal emulationthrough an Ethernet connection.
Information about using the CLI is in the FibreCAT SX Manager Command Line Interface
(CLI) manual.

2.8 Site Requirements
This chapter provides requirements and guidelines that you must address when preparing
your site for the installation.
CAUTION
When selecting an installation site for the system, choose a location that avoids
excessive heat, direct sunlight, dust, or chemical exposure. These conditions
greatly reduce the systems longevity, and might void your warranty.
2.8.1 Physical Requirements
This section provides dimension and weight specifications, weight and placement guide-
lines, and ventilation requirements.
2.8.1.1 Dimension and Weight Specifications
The floor space at the installation site must be strong enough to support the combined
weight of the rack, controller enclosures, expansion modules, and any additional
equipment. The site should provide sufficient space for installation, operation, and servicing
the enclosures, and also requires sufficient ventilation to allow a free flow of air to all enclo-
sures.
The following table lists enclosure dimensions and weight. Weights are based on an
enclosure having 12 drive modules, 2 controller or expansion modules, and 2 power and
cooling modules installed.

2.8.1.2 Weight and Placement Guidelines
As you prepare for installation, follow these guidelines:
Ideally, use two people to lift an enclosure. However, one person can safely lift an
enclosure if its weight is reduced by removing the power and cooling modules and driv
modules.
Do not place enclosures in a vertical position. Always install and operate the enclosurein a horizontal orientation.
When installing enclosures in a rack, make sure that any surfaces over which you mig
move the rack can support the weight. To prevent accidents when moving equipmen
especially on sloped loading docks and up ramps to raised floors, ensure you have a
sufficient number of helpers. Remove obstacles such as cables and other objects from
the floor.
To prevent the rack from tipping and to minimize personnel injury in the event of a
seismic occurrence, securely anchor the rack to a wall or other rigid structure that is
attached to both the floor and to the ceiling of the room.
2.8.1.3 Ventilation Requirements
As you prepare for installation, follow these requirements:
Do not block or cover ventilation openings at the front and rear of an enclosure. Neve
place an enclosure near a radiator or heating vent. Failure to follow these guidelines ca
cause overheating and affect the reliability and warranty of the product.
Leave a minimum of 15 cm at the front and back of an enclosure to ensure adequate
airflow for cooling. No cooling clearance is required on the sides, top, or bottom of encl
sures.
Leave enough space in front and in back of an enclosure to allow access to enclosurcomponents for servicing. Removing a component requires a clearance of at least
137 cm in front of and behind the enclosure.

2.8.3 Electrical Requirements
This section provides electrical guidelines and site wiring, power, and cabling requirements.
2.8.3.1 Electrical Guidelines
Each enclosure is shipped with two AC power cords that are appropriate for use in a typical
outlet in the destination country. Each power cord should connect one of the power and
cooling modules to an independent, external power source. To ensure power redundancy,
connect the two power cords to two separate circuits; for example, to one commercial circuit
and to one uninterruptable power source (UPS).
Safety status of I/O connections comply with Separated Extra Low Voltage (SELV) require-
ments.

Important Notes Site Requiremen
FibreCAT SX Series Operating Manual 2
As you prepare for installation, follow these guidelines:
The enclosures work with single-phase power systems having an earth ground
connection. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not plug an enclosure into any othe
type of power system. Contact your facilities manager or a qualified electrician if you arnot sure what type of power is supplied to your building.
Enclosures are shipped with a grounding-type (three-wire) power cord. To reduce the
risk of electric shock, always plug the cord into a grounded power outlet.
Do not use household extension cords with the enclosures. Not all power cords have
the same current ratings. Household extension cords do not have overload protection
and are not meant for use with computer systems.
2.8.3.2 Site Wiring and Power Requirements
Each enclosure has two power and cooling modules for redundancy. If full redundancy is
required, use a separate power source for each module. The AC power supply unit in eac
power and cooling module is auto-ranging and is automatically configured to an input
voltage range from 88264 VAC with an input frequency of 4763 Hz. The power and
cooling modules meet standard voltage requirements for both U.S. and international
operation. The power and cooling modules use standard industrial wiring with line-to-
neutral or line-to-line power connections.
As you prepare for installation, follow these requirements:
All AC mains and supply conductors to power distribution boxes for the rack-mounted
system must be enclosed in a metal conduit or raceway when specified by local,
national, or other applicable government codes and regulations.
Ensure that the voltage and frequency of your power source match the voltage and
frequency inscribed on the equipments electrical rating label.
To ensure redundancy, provide two separate power sources for the enclosures. Thes
power sources must be independent of each other, and each must be controlled by a
separate circuit breaker at the power distribution point.
The system requires voltages within minimum fluctuation. The customer-supplied fac
ities voltage must maintain a voltage with not more than 5 percent fluctuation. The
customer facilities must also provide suitable surge protection.
Site wiring must include an earth ground connection to the AC power source. The
supply conductors and power distribution boxes (or equivalent metal enclosure) musbe grounded at both ends.

Site Requirements Important Notes
26 FibreCAT SX Series Operating Manual
Power circuits and associated circuit breakers must provide sufficient power and
overload protection. To prevent possible damage to the AC power distribution boxes and
other components in the rack, use an external, independent power source that is
isolated from large switching loads (such as air conditioning motors, elevator motors,
and factory loads).
2.8.3.3 Cabling Requirements
As you prepare for installation, follow these requirements:
Keep power and interface cables clear of foot traffic. Route cables in locations that
protect the cables from damage.
Route interface cables away from motors and other sources of magnetic or radio
frequency interference.
Stay within the cable length limitations.
2.8.4 Management Host Requirements
A local management host with at least one serial port connection is required for the initial
installation and configuration of a controller enclosure. After you configure one or both of
the controller modules with an Internet Protocol (IP) address, you then use a remote
management host on an Ethernet network to configure, manage, and monitor.
Note
You must use Ethernet cable designated CAT-5 or higher to connect a controller
enclosure to an Ethernet network.

4 Connecting Hosts / Configurations
This chapter describes the FibreCAT SX system cable connections for hosts and shows
typical configurations.
4.1 Connecting Remote Management Hosts
The management host directly manages systems out-of-band over a network. This sectiodescribes how to connect the Ethernet cables and power cords to the management host
1. Locate the Ethernet ports for controller A and controller B at the back of the controlle
enclosure.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable to each Ethernet port.
3. Connect the other end of each Ethernet cable to a network that your management ho
can access (preferably on the same subnet).
4.2 Installing the SCSI Enclosures Services Driver
NOTE
This section applies to Microsoft Windows hosts only.
Installing the SCSI Enclosure Services (SES) driver prevents Microsoft Windows hosts fro
displaying the Found New Hardware Wizard when the storage system is discovered.
1. In a web browser, go to
http://support.ts.fujitsu.com/com/support/downloads.html and download the SCSI
enclosure device driver for FibreCAT SX to a network location that the data host can
access.
2. Extract the package contents to a temporary folder on the host.
3. In that folder, double-click Setup.exe to install the driver.
4. Click Finish.
The driver is installed.

4.3 Connecting Direct Attached iSCSI Configurations
4.3.1 Single Controller FibreCAT SX80 iSCSI With One HostA single-controller configuration is supported but provides no redundancy in the event that
the controller fails. Each data host has one iSCSI port connected to the controller module.
If the controller fails, the host loses access to the volume LUNs.
Single-Controller, Direct Attach Connection to a Single Data Host shows the direct attach
configuration for a single data host
Figure 8: Single-Controller, Direct Attach Connection to a Single Data Host (iSCSI)
The FibreCAT SX80 iSCSI Storage Systems was designed as a fully redundant dual
controller storage array for iSCSI systems. The storage system alternately assigns virtual
disks between the two controllers to support automatic load balancing. It is currently
available as a non-redundant single controller storage system as an entry level option.
When the FibreCAT SX80 iSCSI Storage System has a single controller, every other virtual
disk created will be owned by the non-existent second controller, regardless of the
ownership specified when creating the virtual disk - any storage assigned to the missing
controller is treated as "failed-over" to the existing controller. This choice allows for trans-parent upgrade to a dual controller system in the future. In order for the virtual disks
assigned to the non-existent controller to be visible, the host needs to establish logins to
both iSCSI targets. The IP addresses of the non-existent controller (target) need to be
configured in the storage system. The connected hosts then need to establish iSCSI
sessions (logins) to one or both targets to access the volumes on those virtual disks.

Connecting Hosts / Configurations Host Interface Speed for FibreCAT SX (FC
FibreCAT SX Series Operating Manual 3
For example, if you create 6 virtual disks, then the second, fourth and sixth virtual disks
would be owned by the non-existent second controller. To present volumes created on
these virtual disks to a host, you must assign IP addresses to the same ports on the non
existent controller as ports that are used on the existing controller. The address assigned
to the port of the non-existent controller must be in the same network as the same port othe existing controller. For example, if controller A has the following configuration:
Controller A
Port/Channel: 0 1
IP: 192.168.144.1 10.0.0.1
Netmask: 255.255.255.0 255.0.0.0
You should then set the IP address of the ports on the controller that is not installed to
reserve addresses in the same subnets so those hosts can see the volumes through the
controller, as shown below:
Controller B (currently not installed)
Port/Channel: 0 1
IP: 192.168.144.18 10.0.0.22
Netmask: 255.255.255.0 255.0.0.0
Finally, include these addresses in the iSCSI initiator configuration the same as you woul
the IP addresses of the existing controller.
If you follow this process, all of the volumes created on the FibreCAT SX80 iSCSI Storag
System will be visible through the existing controller host ports. When you are ready to
upgrade to a dual controller system, simply install the second controller with Ethernet
cables pre-attached and all the work will be done automatically by the storage system to
move those volumes to the new controller.
