There are CLI-guided and scripted procedures that guide you through replacements step by step including gathering health check and diagnostics information. The FRU replacements are typically started with the command VPlexadmin replace-fru and then select the faulted FRU from the replacement menu. On the other hand, there are some manual replacement procedures. No script guides you through the needed steps. The FRU manual lists all the steps which need to be executed manually. This manual process starts with disabling the call-home, gathering health information, and verifying the faulted unit for replacement. Another important area for FRU replacements is to know if the procedure is performed on an un-configured VPLEX VS6 Cluster, which means the configuration commands for EZ Setup have not been run. An example could be that a faulted Management Module Control Station (MMCS) failed the EZ-Setup and it was determined to replace this MMCS. In this case the replacement procedure for an un-configured MMCS should be used. However, if an MMCS fails in a successfully configured VPLEX VS6 Cluster then the replacement procedure for a configured MMCS needs to be used.

The red Ethernet service cable connected to MMCS-A should be available to connect to the service laptop. The service laptop needs PUTTY version 0.60 or later for SSH connections, WinSCP or a similar tool for copying files to the VPLEX management module control stations, and a web browser and Flash Player version 10.0.0 or higher for the VPLEX GUI poration. ved. \VPLEX VS6 Field Replaceable Units (FRUs)PuTTY Configuration for Service Port When connected to the red Ethernet service cable, the laptop should automatically get an IP address from the DHCP server running on the MMCS. Use an SSH tool like PUTTY and configure it to the service IP address 128.221.252.2 with the default port 22 for the connection type SSH. You can then save the session and open the session to the MMCS-A. Copyright 2016 EMC Corporation. all rights reserved. PLEX VS6 Field Replaceable Units (FRUs) 6Web Server Connection - Illustrations pcs in PUTTY You can also connect to the same service port IP address 128.221.252.2 with a browser using HTTP. In the FRU replacement screen, the commands are listed to start the scripted FRU replacement procedure. After you have logged into the MMCS-A and connected to the VPlexeli using SSH, you execute these commands. While going through the FRU Replacement script, there are entries for illustrations in the GUL. They can help with an easier selection and show how to remove and replace a FRU through illustrations. copyright 2016 &? ‘eeporation ll thts reserve.

A warning message is generated if a FRU is degraded. If a FRU is faulted, an error message is sent. The information in the call-home messages and the information gathered through troubleshooting come from the EMC support center and generate service calls. VPlexcli context information and health check commands can also be used to detect and verify faulted FRUs. In Unisphere for VPLEX, certain failures are displayed under the Monitoring tab in System Health. Service tasks can also be generated out of troubleshooting an issue. Some FRUs might not generate call homes or unique warning or error messaging. Performance issues can be one of the symptoms. Replacing an SFP or I/O Module might be a direct result from troubleshooting @ customer SR.

Serial and part numbers can easily be found on the faulted unit. First we see pull-out tags for the engine chassis and the BBUs. Each fan module has its serial number and part number in the front. The management as well as the 1/O modules have their serial and part number on the handle. The pull-out tag with serial and part number is from an InfiniBand switch. Other FRU components also have the S/N and part number easily available. Copyright 2018 EMC Corporation. All rights reserved \VPLEX VS6 Field Replaceable Units (FRUs) 9In the scripted procedures, VPLEX VS6 uses amber marker LEDs for engine, director, and unit to physically identifying the selected or faulted FRU to avoid errors. Here the engine marker and director marker can be seen. During a FRU replacement for a PSU, for example, the script also marks the PSU that was chosen in the menu and needs replacement. Another example for the use of amber marker LEDs is with a director fan. Fan replacements are a manual procedure, not script driven. The amber LED used for a faulted fan is enabled when the fault occurs and not activated with a replacement script. poration. all tghts reserved. \VPLEX VS6 Field Replaceable Units (FRUs) 10Director DIMM.

This is a list of all the FRUs in the VPLEX VSG. All these FRUs have replacement procedures that must be followed when a replacement is needed. Perform this procedure only after a VPLEX cluster has been configured for operation by running the EZ-Setup utility. Do not run the procedure on a new cluster that has not yet been configured. FRUs listed here with an asterisk also have a procedure when the VPLEX cluster has not been configured. Make sure you use the correct replacement procedure. Copyright 2016 EMC Corporation.

The director chassis itself is a FRU. The director replacement chassis needs to be populated with the SSD, DIMM, BBUs, and Fans of the faulted director. The director FRU has two replacement procedures for the configured and un-configured state of the VPLEX cluster (after and before EZ-Setup).

Click the Launch button to view the replacement demonstration. MC In this FRU replacement scenario both management module control stations need to be replaced. A possible scenario could be that it was determined that internal network issues resulted from two faulty MMCSs. The MMCS modules provide Ethernet management network connectivity for the cluster. The Dual MMCS replacement sequence will first replace MMCS-B, then replace, re-image and restore MMCS-A. The factory image on MMCS-B is used to re-image MMCS-A to the cluster version. After a successfully completed replacement of MMCS-A, MMCS-B is re- image and restored. Click the Launch button to view the dual MMCS replacement demonstration.

It provides connectivity to the customer management network (black cable), as well as the redundant internal management networks in dual and quad engine configurations. The lime-colored (A-side) cable is the .252 subnet within the VPLEX cluster. The purple- colored (B-side) cable is the .253 subnet. The MRI21 cable assembly replacement follows 2 manual procedure.

With dual and quad engine clusters, the replacement can be performed with continued production. There might be a reduction in performance. Shown is the engine chassis of the VPLEX VS6 - the replacement chassis would come without the disk fillers which also have to be moved from the faulted engine chassis to the replacement chassis, just like both directors with BBUs and director fans, and all the 1/0 modules and MMs or MMCSs. The engine chassis has a configured and un-configured procedure. A transport lift is needed because of the weight of the 4-U VS6 engine. poration.
