1 Introduction to the hp Carrier Grade BladeServer bh3710

The HP bh3710 carrier grade blade server is a new concept of modular system design focused on network-centric

environments like ISP and Telecom data centers. The bh3710 systems are implemented using the form factor andconnector technology of the open CompactPCI® specification. Each system is implemented on one or more

CompactPCI® form factor boards and interfaces to a backplane with an embedded high speed, inter-system fabric.The interface to this high-speed storage and networking fabric is composed of open, industry standard interfaces,

and as such, any architecture that supports the standard fabric connections can be used as the basis of the system

module.

The chassis is based on CompactPCI® standards, and will accommodate 10 full size CompactPCI® cards (6U x160mm) in the front slots, and 10 half size CompactPCI® cards (6U X 80mm) called Rear Transition Modules

(RTM) in the rear slots. Power is supplied by two –48VDC n+1 power supply units (PSU) housed below the main

chamber in an independent enclosure. They are fed through separate filter modules from either A or B feeds. The

CompactPCI® cards in the main chamber are cooled by 6 fans mounted on a tray. In the event of a fan failure, the

tray assembly slides in and out allowing easy replacement. Each PSU is cooled independently by its own set of fans. 

The bh3710 incorporates two separate Local Area Networks (LANs). The Management Blade also controls aManagement LAN that receives, transmits, and routes signals specific to system management and configuration.

The block diagram of the chassis blades is shown in Figure 1-1. This figure shows the HP Server bh3710 PA-RISC

 blade, the Management blade, the Management LAN blades, each with fibre channel bypass capability, and the

Storage Blades. The blades install into a two-sided “backplane” that provides connections to LAN and control

functions, as well as supplying DC power.

Blade Descriptions

Management Blade

The Management Blade contains all necessary logic to run the bh3710 system and to communicate with an external

console. The Management Blade must reside in slot F10. Both the bh3710 chassis and the blade are identified with

a sticker containing a square logo, as shown in Figure 1-5 and are color-coded HP Flint Gray.

Figure 1-5: Management Blade Identification Legend Marking

Configuring the Management BladeThe Management blade arrives from the factory pre-configured.

Management LAN Blade

At least one Management LAN is required for Ethernet communication with the Management blade. The

Management blade implements an Ethernet switch with the Management LAN providing the external port for theManagement blade. The Management LAN blade provides communication expansion using either copper-based or 

fiber-based channels. Management LAN blades are half depth blades installed in the rear of the bh3710. The

Management LAN must reside in the slot directly opposite the Management blade in slot R10. There is a second

Management LAN Blade located in slot R9. The identification sticker for the Management LAN is illustrated in

Figure 1-7. The blade and its slot are also color-coded HP Pewter Gray.

Figure 1-7: Management LAN Identification Legend Marking

bp2200 Server Blade

One bp2200 Server Blade resides in the chassis in slots F1/F2. The operating system does not reside on the Server 

Blade but rather on the FC Storage Blade which comes pre-configured with HP-UX. A sticker, shown in Figure 1-9, 

matches the blade to chassis slots, which are color-coded HP Light Blue.

FC Storage Blade

FC Storage Blade provides mass storage capability for the Server Blade. The storage blade can be populated with

one or two disk drives. The storage blade(s) resides in F5/F6 and F3/F4. The initial Storage Blade is inserted in

F5/F6 and comes pre-configured with HP-UX. A second Storage Blade can be added and it will be inserted in slotsF3/F4. The FC storage blade is hot swappable. Storage Blade slots are marked with the glyph shown in Figure 1-11, 

and are color-coded HP Light Purple.

Figure 1-11: Storage Blade Identification Legend Marking

Other bh3710 ComponentsThe other components in the bh3710 are described in this section. Components include the chassis, power supplies,

and fan tray assembly.

bh3710 Chassis

The chassis has 10 slots on the front and 10 slots on the rear for blades and provides a centrally located backplane for all blade interconnection. The front and rear views of the chassis are shown in Figure 1-13 and Figure

Fans

A fan tray assembly, shown as Figure 1-17, contains six fans that provide system cooling. Although there are no

visible LEDs on the chassis to indicate that a fan has failed, there are two ways to detect fan failure. A fail message

will be sent to the Management Blade console and an error message will be seen in the System Event Log (SEL). Inthe event of a single fan failure, the entire fan tray will need to be replaced. The fan tray assembly is hot swappable

and is located on the front of the chassis on the right side. Two captive screws secure the fan tray to the system

chassis.

Figure 1-17: Fan Tray Assembly

CAUTION  It is recommended that the replacement fan assembly tray be unpacked and ready to install

 prior to removing a faulty fan assembly tray.

Removal and replacement of fan assembly trays must be completed WITHIN 20

SECONDS or the server blades will begin to shut down and data being transmitted to the

 blades will be lost

3 Power Supplies for the hp Carrier Grade BladeServer bh3710

Two n+1 -48VDC 400W Power Supply Units (PSU) are included with the chassis. Each PSU contains a converter module and a DC inlet module. The converter module, Figure 3-1, is installed/removed from the front of the chassis

and the DC inlet module, Figure 3-2 is installed/removed from the rear of the chassis.

Either converter module or DC inlet module can be removed one at a time without affecting performance however,one main converter module and its matching DC inlet module must be in place and operating normally or power to

the CompactPCI cards in the chassis will be lost.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/bh3710-servguide 59/169

 

Removing and Replacing Power SuppliesThe bh3710 has dual power supplies. When operating normally, a green LED will glow constantly. If a power 

supply fails, it will be indicated by a solid yellow LED. If this condition is detected or if it is detected through

remote monitoring, the power supply should be replaced as soon as possible.

CAUTION The DB9 connector (located on each DC inlet module) on the rear of thechassis was installed for use during the manufacturing process. It cannotbe used for anything else. If an RS232-type plug is used in this receptacle,it could cause the power supply to reset, thereby losing data beingtransmitted to the blades.DO NOT TRY TO USE THIS RECEPTACLE FOR ANY PURPOSE.

The DB9 connector is shown in Figure 3-2 above.

Because of the high velocity, positive pressure airflow, the mechanical integrity of the system must be maintained atall times to ensure proper cooling.

To ensure power supply replacement within the requisite time window, plan the installation in advance:

• Ensure you are properly grounded before commencing

• Have the replacement power supply ready for installation and near the bh3710

• Have the required tools handy

• Familiarize yourself with the operation before you begin

Required Tools:

•  Number 1 Philips screwdriver 

• Flat Blade screwdriver 

Power Supply Removal

1. Remove the new converter module and DC inlet module from the protective packaging, and place on an

antistatic surface.

2. Unplug the DC power cable from the DC inlet module at the rear of the chassis.

3. Loosen and remove the four screws on the DC inlet module located on the rear of the chassis. Pull the inlet

module out of the chassis.

4. Loosen the captive screw on the converter module located at the front of the chassis. Pull the converter module

out of the chassis.

The Management Blade has five basic functions. These functions are defined in Table 4-1. 

Table 4-1: Management Blade Functions

Function Description

HardwareHousekeeping Monitors health, logs blade parameters, controls fanspeed, shuts down faulty blades, drives status LEDs on

chassis.

Hot Swap Monitor Monitors the hot swap signals from each hot swap

component and controls shutdown process.

User Interface to

 bh7310

Communicates with users via RS-232 console program

and Telnet console.

Remote Firmware

Update

Handles logic to acquire and update the Management

Blade firmware.

Console Management

LAN Switch

Has integrated switch that provides 10/100 base-T access

to all other blades.

GlossaryTerms used in this chapter are defined in the following glossary.

Table 4-2: Glossary

Term Definition

Alarm Event

The generic term used to indicate an alarm or event raised by the SMA. This covers

 both alarms in the traditional sense and also information.

AEM

Alarm Event Manager. The host processor blades connect to a LAN network via theManagement Blade. This allows them to be managed from a central location. On this

network, a computer runs the AEM. The Server Management Application sends anyalarm and event messages to this manager.

CM

Configuration Manager. This is a processor, remote from the management platform,

responsible for downloading/uploading configuration information to/from the SMA.

CompactPCI

Download

Compact Peripheral Component Interconnect Download. This term is used to describe

the process of a transfer of configuration data to a given entity, from an external entity.

See “Upload”. Also known as cPCI.

Configuration

Menu

Allows the technician to view status information and configure the system. It may be

accessed locally via the serial port, or remotely over the Management LAN.

EEPROM

Electrically Erasable Programmable ROM. This type of non-volatile storage is used onvarious devices that may be attached to the bh7800 chassis, including the Management

Blade.

FLASH

A type of constantly powered non-volatile memory that can be erased and

reprogrammed in units of memory called blocks. The Management Blade does not

have any magnetic disc storage, thus software and downloaded configuration

information is stored in FLASH.

Term Definition

FC and LAN

RTM

Fibre Channel and Local Area Network Rear Transition Module. The term

“Management LAN Blade” refers to either of the two FC and LAN RTM blades

associated with the Management Blade.

IPMBIntelligent Platform Management Bus. A protocol defining a byte-level transport for transferring IPMI messages between intelligent I2C devices.

IPMI

Intelligent Platform Management Interface. A standard defining an abstracted interface

to platform management hardware.

Management

Server Management Blade. A cPCI blade that provides a hardware platform for the

SMA firmware, and the hardware interfaces required between the SMA firmware, and

other hardware external to the Management Blade.

Management

LAN

The SMA connects to a LAN that sends status information and receives downloadconfiguration information. This information pertains to the management of the

monitoring system, as distinct from the monitored LAN.

 NVRAM Non-Volatile RAM

SEL System Event Log. A buffer of all events recorded by the SMA.

SMA

Server Management Application. The firmware, as defined in this document, that runs

on the Management Blade.

SNMPSimple Network Management Protocol. The SMA uses an SNMP agent to

communicate with the AEM and the CM.

TCP Telecom Computer Platform.

Upload The process of a transfer of configuration data from a given entity to an external entity.

External InterfacesThe Management Blade electrically connects to the other components through the backplane. In most cases the

interface is via I2C bus. These busses allow bi-directional communication so that status information can be sent to

the SMA and configuration information sent from the SMA.

Operating Phases

The SMA has three distinct phases of operation. These phases are:

• Start-up — Entered on power-up or reset and controls the sequence needed to make the SMAoperational. The SMA also provides the minimal configuration information to allow the chassis to

communicate on the Management LAN.

4-3

•  Normal Operation — Entered after the Start-up mode is completed. This mode monitors all other devices and logs events internally. Normally the SMA has full communication with the Alarm Event

7/30/2019 BH3710-SERVGUIDE

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/bh3710-servguide 64/169

 

Manager; but, when the Management LAN is not available, the SMA loses the ability to report errors

to the management system.

• Hot Swap — Entered when there is an attempt to remove the blade from the chassis. An advancewarning of the power fail is available to allow the software to shutdown gracefully.

The operation in each of these phases is defined in detail in the following sections.

Key FunctionsDuring normal operation, the SMA firmware has the following main functions.

MonitoringWhen the SMA is operating in the Normal or Stand Alone Modes it continuously monitors the health of the chassis

and its components. The SMA typically monitors:

• Chassis Environment (e.g. temperature, fans, input signals)

• Removal and Insertion of other blades

• Operational state of the other FRUs

Configuration Commands

During normal operation, the SMA accepts and performs configuration commands. These commands are used toconfigure the chassis for desired operations.

Commands can originate from the blade-front serial connection or from a Telnet connection to the Management

LAN.

Alarms and EventsThe SMA reports alarm events to an onboard Alarm Event Manager. The Alarm Event Manager determines what to

do with the alarm or event and instigates any recovery or reconfiguration that may be needed. There may be some

exception handling taken by the SMA in case of critical temperature conditions.

 Normally all known alarm events are reported. However, a blackout mechanism is employed to avoid flooding theAlarm Event Manager or the system event log.

A System Event Log (SEL) keeps a record of the alarms and events. This is held in non-volatile memory and ismaintained over power cycles, and resets of the SMA. The SEL contents can be viewed using the Configuration

Menu described in Chapter 2.

Communicating with the Management Blade

Complete configuration menu screen captures appear in Chapter 2.

Command Line User Interface (CLUI)

The Management Blade supports a set of CLUI commands. While programming a single system is much easier 

using the Configuration Menu CLUI, writing a script of CLUI commands and then executing them on each blade

server can facilitate programming a group of bh3710 blade servers. There are several thousand parameters in a

complete list of CLUI commands that can be displayed by typing:

smc-cmd –w

smc-cmd –e <string> 

Commands are entered by typing the command at the CLI prompt.The following command allows you to set a parameter of a command:

smc-cmd –s <param> <value> 

smc-cmd –g <param> 

In addition to the smc-cmd command, two other user commands are also available:

smc-ethcfg is used to configure management LAN parameters

smc-flash is used to update onboard management firmware.

Communication with, and configuration of, the Management Blade and the other devices in the system take place

via a Command Line Interface, or the configuration menu.

You can search for commands by specifying part of the command name. This is a much better way to list commands

than to list the entire set using the above command. The following returns a list of all commands that start with the

specified string:

You can get the setting of a parameter with the following syntax:

Configuration Menu CLUI

The Configuration Menu provides an operator interface to the SMA. This allows you to query the status of thechassis and (with the required authority level) change the configuration of the chassis.

There are three levels of authority:

• User: the user level of authority can only use commands that display information.

• Operator: the operator level of authority can use all commands except those with the highest security

level.

• Super User: the super-user level of authority can use all commands.

Configuration Upload / DownloadThe Configuration Menu allows a connected user to transfer configuration information between the SMA andanother location, whether uploading or downloading.

When a configuration upload or download is requested by a Super User or Operator, the terminal displays a prompt

for the name of the configuration file to transfer. The file can be stored and retrieved, even remotely.

Management Blade On-Board BatteryThe SMA periodically monitors the status of the backup battery on-board the Management Blade.

The battery management device on the Management Blade provides a single status bit that indicates whether or not

the battery power is sufficient. On detecting that the battery is low, the SMA raises the alarm.

Blades InstalledBlade Present Detection

The SMA uses the “blade present” signal to detect if a blade is present or not in any given slot.

The SMA maintains a record of all the blades installed in the chassis along with their type, hardware revision and

serial number. This is stored in the Hardware Installed table, which can be viewed using the configuration menu.

Blade TypesThe SMA can determine the types of blades installed in the chassis. Each of these blades has an EEPROM. If a

 blade is present in a slot and fails to respond to an I2C poll to that EEPROM then an alarm event is reported.

These blades are:

•  bp2200 Server Blades

• Management LAN Blade (RTM)

• FC Storage Blades

New Blade DetectedWhen a new blade is detected, the SMA creates an alarm event.

When a new blade has been detected the SMA polls the identification EEPROM on that blade. Once the EEPROM

is successfully read, the information in the Hardware Installed table is updated.

Blade RemovalThe SMA detects blade removal by monitoring the “blade healthy” signal for each blade. When the SMA detects

that a blade has been removed, the alarm event is generated, and the Hardware Installed table is updated.

Blade Operating StatusThe SMA monitors the operating state of the Host Processor Blades. The SMA periodically posts an IPMI query to

each of the blades to ensure that they are operational. If the query fails then an alarm event is reported.

In addition, the SMA receives IPMI event messages autonomously generated by the Host Processor Blades.

Host Processor - PingThe SMA periodically uses the ping command to verify the communication path to each of the Server Blades. If 

the ping to one of the Server Blades fails, an alarm event is raised.

The SMA uses the IP address defined in the configuration to address each of the Host Processor Blades.

Checking TimeThe SMA confirms that the UTC time returned by the Host Processor is within a suitable window of the UTC time

that it contains. If the time returned by the Host Processor is outside this window then an alarm event is raised.

This check is not performed when the SMA is operating from a default time.

NOTE The UTC is now optional. Local time can be used.

Dial InIf there is a modem attached to the modem port specified in the downloaded configuration, the SMA configuration

indicates whether it is to be initialized to permit a user to dial-in, or whether auto-answer should be disabled. If 

enabled, the application detects any incoming call to the modem and enables a PPP session via the modem. If the

caller is confirmed as one of the configured users then the SMA will hang up the connection, dial out to a number 

configured for that user and start a PPP session. The user may then connect a Telnet session to the SMA or to any

other connected Host Processor.

Dial OutIf there is a modem attached to the configured modem port, then this may be used to dial out to generate pager 

events under certain circumstances.

Error ReportingAll alarms and status changes are reported via alarm events. When any part of the software needs to report a change

of status, it is done with this common procedure. Under certain alarm conditions (as defined by the configuration

 parameters for a specific pager user), the paging service will be invoked.

Alarm Event Generation

State ChangesTwo types of alarms may be raised by the SMA:

• “One-shot alarms” to indicate a one-off event (i.e. maintains no state).

• “Transition alarms” that occur when a change of state occurs (i.e. set when an alarm goes active andcleared when rectified).

“Transition alarms” are raised when a change of status occurs (i.e. for both an alarm going active and for it going

clear).

DestinationAlarm events may be reported to any combination of the following destinations:

• The internal event log

• The Host Processor Blades

• The Management Blade front panel LEDs

• The chassis LEDs

• The Alarm Event Manager 

• A logged in user (Telnet, RS-232 console)

• A registered pager user

Chassis Slot ResetThe SMA can be instructed to reset a blade in any one of the chassis slots, and each is controlled independently.

The reset signal is applied for a duration of at least 100 milliseconds.

Temperature Threshold ControlThe Alarm and Critical temperature thresholds may be set for the chassis temperature sensor, the Management Blade

temperature sensor, and the PSU temperature sensor.

RS-232 Port ControlThe RS-232 ports are initialized at power up to operate in the configured state for RS-232 port initialization. The

default configuration is for eight data bits, no parity and one stop bit.

The SMA does not provide any commands to specifically control the serial ports. If required, the parameters may be

changed under software control using the existing operating system commands.

Modem Control

NOTE Modem/paging functionality was not available as of this printing. Thisfunctionality is expected in the first half of 2002. Check www.software.hp.com for 

firmware update availability.

If there is a modem attached at power-up, and the downloaded configuration indicates a modem should be presenton that port, then it will be initialized. This will be according to the modem initialization parameter in the

downloaded configuration.

Operator Indicators

The Management Blade has eight LEDs that are used to inform the operator of the operating status of theManagement Blade. The SMA also controls the LEDs located near the chassis fans that are used to inform the

operator of fan operating status. The usage of these LEDs is summarized in Table4-9. 

Table4-9: LED Indicators

LED Type Quantity Color Usage

Hot Swap LED 1 Blue Management Blade hot swap status

Status LEDs 1 Yellow SMA operating status

RTM LANconnections 3x2 Yellow/Green/ Green

Link and speed status of the externalManagement LAN

In addition, the chassis has an LED strip, with two colored LEDs for each slot in the chassis. This is arranged so that

each LED pair is positioned above the corresponding chassis slot.

Management Blade Hot Swap LEDThe Hot Swap LED is off during normal operation. The LED indicates a steady blue during the Hot Swap

 procedure.

Status LEDThe status LED, when illuminated, indicates a fault in the Management Blade.

Management LAN LEDsTwo rows of three LEDs indicates a LAN link and the speed (10/100 baseT) of the two possible Management LANBlade connections, as labeled on the front of the Management Blade.

Chassis LEDsThese LEDs are located on the Fan Tray Assembly bulkhead, on the right side of the server front, and are arrangedvertically so that there is a green (left) and an amber (right) LED beside each chassis slot. They are arranged

horizontally in pairs to avoid any color distinction issues. One LED may be on at a time, either flashing or steady, or 

 both may be off. Both will not be continuously on at the same time.

Resetting the Management Blade Password

If the password should ever be forgotten or compromised, it can be reset to “hpblade!” with an onboard jumper. Toreset the password, follow this procedure:

1. Ground yourself by connecting to the ground connector near the bottom left of the front of the bh7800.

2. Remove the Management Blade from the bh3710 using hot swap techniques. (This procedure begins

on the following page)

3. Locate jumper P6. Looking at the component side of the blade with the bulkhead to the left it is about

one inch to the right of the backup battery near the bottom of the blade.

4. Place a jumper on P6. Wait at least 10 seconds.

5. Remove the jumper.

6. Reinstall the Management Blade.

The password will now be reset.

Management Blade Removal

CAUTION You must complete removal and replacement within 3 minutes to complywith cooling requirements. Failure to do so will result in the systemshutting down.

1. Begin by releasing the button-release lever on the blade. Do this by pressing the red release button on therelease lever. It will release with a “snap”, but only travel about 1/8 of an inch. Do NOT attempt to remove

the blade at this point, as it must be allowed to power down. Figure 4-5 illustrates this step. The blade will

now enter its hot-swap shutdown routine. Blades cannot be removed until they have completed this function,signified by illumination of the blue hot-swap LED.

Figure 4-5: Releasing the Locking Lever

2. While waiting for the blade to shut down, loosen the screws located in the top locking lever and bottom

locking lever. Do NOT attempt to remove the blade at this time.

Management Blade Installation

1. Pick up the replacement blade from an antistatic surface using the two locking levers.

2. Holding the Management Blade using the locking levers, align it with the blade guides inside the open slot

and carefully push the blade fully into the chassis as shown in Figure 4-8. 

Figure 4-8: Align Blade With Blade Guides And Push Into Chassis

1. 3. Ensure that the “hooks” on the locking levers engage the blade retaining pins at the top and bottom of 

the blade slot.

2. 4. Once the “hooks” are engaged with the pins on the chassis, grasp the two locking levers and

simultaneously push them toward each other to securely seat the blade in the connector on the backplane,as shown in the figure. It may take additional force to pull the board into final seating, because it must mate

with several connectors on the backplane. Figure 4-9 illustrates the “hooks” engaging the blade retaining

 pins and the direction of force needed to close the locking levers.

PCI Mezzanine Card

The Mezzanine Core IO contains the console LAN, two payload LANs, two Fibre Channel controllers, the

Management Processor and the local-Blade power management circuitry.

The Core I/O can be split into four sections: the primary I/O section, the secondary I/O section, the hot swap

controller, and the 1.60V DC/DC Converter.

The devices in the primary I/O section share a single 66MHz, 64-bit, 3.3V PCI bus, which is driven from one dual-roped Elroy (Elroy 0.) The Primary Core I/O devices consist of a 10/100 Base-T LAN (Intel 21143 MAC), and a

1Gbit FC interface (Agilent Tachyon-TL controller.)

The devices on the secondary I/O section share a single 33MHz, 64-bit, 3.3V PCI bus, which is driven from a

second dual-roped PCI Controller. The secondary core I/O devices consist of a 10/100 Base-T LAN (Intel 21143

MAC), and a 1Gbit FC interface (Agilent Tachyon-TL controller) and the Management Processor (MP). It must benoted the performance of this bus is degraded by the MP processor (SP2.0), which runs at 33Mhz, otherwise the bus

would run at 66MHz.

Both PCI busses are local to the board, and there is no way to attach any external IO cards into the bus. While the

PCI busses are 64-bits wide, the only 64-bit devices on the bus are the PCI Controller and the FC controller – Tachyon TL. When any other device communicates on the bus, it uses only 32 bits.

Storage Device

The bp2200 blade does not include on board disk storage. Disk storage is provided via the FC Storage Blade. Refer 

to Chapter 8 “Mass Storage Installation for the hp Carrier Grade Blade Server bh3710” 

Hot Swap Support

The dual PA-8600 processor module is designed to allow hot insertion or removal without damage to either the

removed assembly or other components. The LAN/Management provides the ability to power off the assembly inthe event of overheating or for reset purposes.

A blue LED, located on the blade bulkhead, is illuminated when the board can be extracted. This LED indicates that

system software is ready to allow extraction of the board. The hardware connection layer provides protection onlyfor the hardware during insertions and extractions.

Upon insertion, the LED is illuminated automatically by the hardware until the hardware connection processcompletes. The LED then remains OFF until used by software to indicate that extraction is once again permitted.

Management Processor (MP)

The MP provides both a firmware and OS visible console device as well as a secondary seat of control for out-of-

 band communication and control to the platform hardware, independent of the operational state of the primarycomputing resources. The software is a VxWorks RTOS application running on an ARM processor with integrated

I/O devices.

Removing and Installing the bp2200 Server Blade

Cooling System Constraints

Before discussing blade installation, it is important to understand the cooling system constraints within the contextof a live system. The bh3710 uses a closed, pressurized cooling system. The CompactPCI® cards in the main

chamber are cooled by 6 fans mounted on a tray which slides in and out allowing easy access to the fans for replacement. Each PSU is cooled independently by its own set of 4 fans. All CompactPCI® Cards, Fan Tray and

PSU's are hot swappable.

Figure 6-6: Cooling System Operation

Because of the high velocity, positive pressure airflow, the mechanical integrity of the system must be maintained atall times to ensure proper cooling.

• Blade installation must be completed within three minutes to ensure air flow maintenance.

• If the three minute installation time limit cannot be met, slot blockers must be installed in empty slotsto ensure proper airflow

Any deviation from these requirements may result in the Management Blade either shutting down other blades, or 

the entire system, due to an over-temperature condition inside the chassis.

bp2200 Server Blade Removal

CAUTION   You must complete removal and replacement within 3 minutes to complywith cooling requirements. Failure to do so will result in the systemshutting down.

The best way to ensure blade replacement within the required time window is to plan your replacement in advance:• Ensure that you are properly grounded before commencing and connect to the ground lug on the front

of the chassis.

• Have the replacement blade ready for replacement and near the server.

• If removing a blade without replacement, have a slot blocker ready.

• Have the required tools available.

• Familiarize yourself with the operation before you begin.

WARNING  Make sure that the rack is anchored securely before removing any componentsfrom the Blade Server. Failure to do so may cause serious injury or damage to

the Blade Server.

Required ToolsA number 1 Philips screwdriver is required to successfully remove and replace the bp2200 Server Blade.

Figure 6-7: Releasing Locking Levers

1. Slide a thumb or forefinger under the front lip of the red tabs, located on the inside of both left and rightlocking levers and gently pulling out. This action begins the blade shut-down procedure. Figure 6-7

illustrates the location of the red tabs.

The blade will now enter its hot-swap shutdown routine. Do NOT attempt to remove the blade at this time or 

data may be lost . When the blade is completely shut down, a blue LED on the right side of the blade bulkhead

will illuminate to indicate that the blade is ready to be removed. It can take up to two minutes for the blue LED

to illuminate.

NOTE The blue LED will remain illuminated until power is removed by loosening the

blade from the backplane

17. 2. While waiting for the blue LED to illuminate, loosen the screws located in the left locking lever and

right locking levers as shown in Figure 6-8. Do NOT attempt to remove the blade at this time.

Figure 6-8: Loosen Locking Screws

18. 3. To release the blade from the backplane, apply pressure to the left locking lever and to the right

locking lever at the same time. You should be able to “snap” the levers away from each other. Figure 6-9

illustrates this step.

Figure 6-9: Releasing Locking Levers

19. 4. After the blue LED illuminates, grasp the two locking levers and push them toward the center to

unlatch the two integral “hooks” from the chassis.

20. 5. Still grasping the locking levers, firmly pull the blade from the chassis (Figure 6-10). The blades fit

snugly in the backplane and it may take additional effort to disengage the blade connectors from the

 backplane.

Figure 6-10: Pull Blade From Chassis

6. Extract the blade completely from the chassis and carefully place it on an antistatic-protected area.

NOTE If the blade will not be replaced within the requisite three minutes, install two slotblockers as follows:

a. Align a slot blocker, open side up (Figure 6-11), with the card guides insidethe open slot and carefully push it fully into the chassis on the side rails.

b. Using the appropriate screwdriver, tighten the small screws on each end of the slot blocker.

DIMM Removal/Replacement

Remove DIMMs in the order shown below. If you are transferring DIMMs from the blade just removed from the

chassis to a replacement blade, load the DIMMs in the same slot locations on the replacement blade.

21. 1. Carefully push down on the ejector handles on each side of the DIMM at the same time to remove each

DIMM from the memory slot (Figure 6-12).

Figure 6-12: Ejecting Memory From Slot

22. Note that the memory DIMM is keyed so that it will only go into the memory slots one way.

Keyed DIMM

3. Ensure that the “hooks” on the locking levers engage the chassis at the left and right edges of the blade slot.Once the “hooks” are engaged, grasp the two locking levers and simultaneously push them toward each other 

to securely seat the blade in the connector on the backplane, as shown in Figure 6-16. It may take additional

effort to push the board into final seating, because it must mate with several connectors on the backplane. The red tabs on the inside of each locking lever will automatically “click” into position. Figure 6-16 the

direction of force needed to close the locking levers.

NOTE The blue LED will briefly illuminated when power is reestablished as the blademates with the backplane connectors.

Figure 6-16: Insert the Blade

4. Using the appropriate screwdriver, tighten the small screws in each locking lever (as shown in Figure6-17). This completes the replacement of a blade

8 Mass Storage Installation for the hp Carrier Grade Blade Server bh3710

Fibre Channel (FC) Disk Carrier Blade InstallationStorage capacity for the bp2200 server blade can be added by installing FC disk carrier blades that hold two

additional disk drives per carrier. The carrier and drives utilize two slots and can be installed in slots F5/F6 (the

default slots) and F3/F4. Slots accommodating FC disk carrier blades are identified by the symbol shown in Figure8-1 below:

Figure 8-1: FC Disk Carrier Legend Marking

NOTE Default slots for the Fiber Channel Disk Carrier are F5 and F6. If the FC DiskCarrier containing the bootable disk is moved to a different pair of slots, thesystem will not automatically boot to UNIX. The system must either bereconfigured to identify the new location, or the FC Disk Carrier must be returnedto its original pair of slots.

Installing the FC Disk Carrier Blade

Required Tools:

A Torx T-10 driver or a number 1 Philips screwdriver may be used.

Remove the Slot Blockers

If you are installing an FC disk carrier blade for the first time or installing an additional FC disk carrier blade, youwill need to remove two slot blockers first:

1. Locate the two slots to be used for FC disk carrier blade insertion (either f5/f6 (default) or f3/f4) and loosenthe screws on each side of each slot blocker.

2. Remove the slot blockers from the chassis and store them for future use.

Installing the FC Disk Carrier 

FC disk carrier blades are designed to operate in both 19 slot (13U) and ten slot (6U) blade servers, but not

automatically. Prior to inserting the blade into the chassis, turn the blade back-to-front and examine the DIP switch

located on the rear circuit card, left side top (as you are looking at it. The backplane connectors will be at the top of the circuit card, as shown in Figure 8-3). Ensure that both slides on the switch are set to the ten slot position. The

DIP switch location is also illustrated in Figure 8-3. 

Backplane Connectors

Figure 8-3: FC Disk Carrier DIP switch location

CAUTION You must complete the following steps within 3 minutes to comply withcooling requirements. Failure to do so may cause loss of data when theblades begin to power down.

3. Grasp the blade by the handles and align it with the card guides inside the open slots.

Figure 8-4: FC Disk carrier blade

4. Carefully push the blade into the chassis until the connecters mate with the backplane.

Configuration (per RTM)

Figure 1 and 2 show a fully configured first release 6U PowerBar. This configuration provides six internal dual ported

disks. When using the configuration shown in Figure 3 for the two RTMs, then all 6 disks are seen from the external FC

connector as well as its corresponding Tachyon TL chip. When the configuration shown in Figure 4 is used then the

Tachyon TL Chip for each loop can only see the two disks located in slot 3 or 4. Also, the external FC connector can

only see the four disks located in slots 5 through 8.The current POR (February 20, 2002) l ists only the 18 GB FibreChannel Disk (Seagate ST318451FC) as supported.

This disk supports concurrent access from each port. Each port will share the same hard address (minus the path of 

the Tachyon TL controller) unless another device with the same address exists on the same loop.

Figure 5-8 shows two possible configuration based on two fully loaded 6U PowerBar Chassis'. The differences between

the two possible configuration is in how you connect the two boxes together. The blue dashed lines show a cross-over 

connection, wherein loop A in one box connects to loop B in the other box. This other setup (red solid lines) show the

straight through method. These two connection types are effectively the same. Each PA blade will see the same possible

disk addresses irregardless of connection type. (assuming the user connects both cables up.)

 An important note to consider in this configuration is that the user will be required to change the SGA Jumper settings on

the second box. This will change the hard addressing for the disks of the second box, preventing any conflicts from

occuring on the Arbitrated Loop.

Monitoring System OperationThe Event Monitoring Service (EMS) Hardware Monitors are an important tool for maintaining system availability.

The EMS hardware monitors allow you to monitor the operation of a wide variety of hardware products and be

alerted immediately if any failure or other unusual event occurs. Hardware event monitoring is available to usersrunning HP-UX 11i, 11.00, or 10.20 (IPR 9902 and later).

Hardware event monitoring provides a high level of protection against system hardware failure. By using hardware

event monitoring, you can virtually eliminate undetected hardware failures that can interrupt system operation andcause data loss.

Configuring Hardware Monitoring

The EMS Hardware Monitors are installed at the same time as the Support Tools Manager. Once the monitoring

software is installed, monitoring is automatically enabled.

By default, messages regarding major warnings and serious or critical events that occur on hardware being

monitored will be handled two ways:

Written to /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log

Sent to e-mail address root.

All events will be stored in /var/opt/resmon/log/event.log.

To configure, enable, or disable hardware event monitoring, run the monitoring request manager:

/etc/opt/resmon/lbin/monconfig .

Documentation

For the latest and most complete information on EMS Hardware Monitors, see the Web page

http://docs.hp.com/hpux/diag/ for details. At this Web site, you will find Overviews, Tutorials, Quick Reference

Cards, Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs), and much other material.

For complete information on installing and using EMS hardware monitors, as well as a list of supported hardware,refer to the "EMS Hardware Monitors User's Guide" available at the above Web site. An electronic copy of this

 book is also included on the Support Plus CD-ROM in the <mount_point>/DIAGNOSTICS directory.

TroubleshootingIf you are having problems installing or booting your Blade Server, this section provides information on the

different tools available for common installation problems, troubleshooting operational problems and error 

messages.

Troubleshooting ToolsThe following tools are available for system troubleshooting:

Event Monitoring Service (EMS). EMS provides a mechanism for monitoring system resources on HP-UX and

sending notifications about these system resources to the user.

Support Tool Manager (STM). STM is a software application that operates from the console to obtain status and

descriptive information about the A6829A adapter, diagnose problems, etc.

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) SNMP is an industry-standard management protocol, originally

designed for managing TCP/IP networks.

Information and operating instructions may be found at:

www.docs.hp.com 

Search for EMS, STM, or SNMP.

Common Installation Problems

The following sections contain general procedures to help you locate installation problems. If you need assistance, itis recommended that you contact your reseller first. If you require assistance from Hewlett-Packard, see the

"Warranty or Service/Support Booklet" or refer to the Blade Server Online Documentation CD-ROM included with

your product.

CAUTION Replace the covers before operating the Blade Server, even for a shorttime. Otherwise, overheating can damage chips, boards, and mass storagedevices.

However, you can safely remove the PCI access panel while the Blade

Server is running to remove and replace PCI Hot Plug boards. For anyother service activity requiring access to the processor baseboard or I/Obaseboard, power down the Blade Server and observe all safetyprecautions.

Troubleshooting Sequence

Most Blade Server problems are the result of incorrect Blade Server and SCSI subsystem configurations. To

troubleshoot an installation problem, perform the following checks in the order given:

1. Check all cable and power connections, including those in the rack, etc.

2. Ensure that the Blade Server is configured properly.

• Check the Quick Setup Utility.

• If the error is a network-related problem, verify that all network configurations have been setup correctly in the Management Blade, the bp2200 MP, and the HPUX Operating system

network.

• Consult your network operating system manual.

3. Verify all cables and boards are securely plugged into the appropriate connectors or slots then verify the

following:

• The bp2200 blade must be in front slot 1.

• The factory configured location of the boot disk is in front slots 5-6. The boot disk is the onenext to the slot status LEDs.

• The Management blade must be in front slot 10.

• The FC LAN and RTMs must be in rear slots 9 and 10

4. Remove any optional blades, one at a time, checking its affect on the Blade Server.

5. Unplug the power cord, wait 20 seconds, plug the power cord in again, and restart the Blade Server.

28. a. Power down the Blade Server.

29. b. Simplify the Blade Server configuration to the minimum required:

30. For normal operation, the minimum configuration is the Server Management Card and Rear Transition

Module fitted to the PowerBar chassis. The Management LAN should be connected to the SMC and beoperational. If the Management LAN is not available then the SMA will operate in Stand Alone mode and

use its last configuration.

31. c. Remove all third-party options, and reinstall each one, one at a time, checking the Blade Server after each installation.

32. d. Reconnect the power cord and other cables.

33. e. Boot the Blade Server. If it does not function properly, refer to the following procedures.

If the Blade Server Will Not Power OnUse these steps to check for power related problems:

1. On the fan tray assembly, verify that the LEDs are illuminated

2. If LEDs are illuminated, the Blade Server is receiving power.

3. If LEDs are not illuminated, ensure that the Blade Server power cords are connected.4. Check the Blade Server's power supplies. Two n+1 -48VDC 400W Power Supply Units (PSU) are

included with the chassis. Each PSU contains a converter module and a DC inlet module. The converter 

module is installed/removed from the front of the chassis and the DC inlet module is installed/removed

from the rear of the chassis.

5. Ensure that both PSUs and both power cords are plugged in to the chassis.

6. Each PSU has two LEDs and the green LED is the Power (PWR) LED. The PWR LED glows a steadygreen when the Blade Server's DC power is on.

7. If the PWR LED on any power supply is not a steady green, reseat the PSU.

8. If you remove the PSU to reseat it, wait 15 seconds before reinstalling. This prevents tripping the inrushcurrent limit of the circuit breaker.

9. Ensure that the blades, FC and LAN RTMs, and the fan module are properly seated.

Blade Server Fan Tray AssemblyFan Tray Assembly trouble shooting consists of the following:

34. 1. If one of the six fans in the Fan Tray Assembly fails, the SMC sends a message to the console and

continues to operate. Replace the Fan Tray Assembly as soon as possible to restore n+1 functionality.

35. 2. If the second fan fails, The Management Blade will begin to shut down the remaining blades to prevent

overheating. The Fan Tray Assembly must be replaced before the Management Blade will boot the

remaining blades.

If the Blade Server Powers On but Shuts Down

Use this checklist to verify the following problems when the Blade Server powers on and then off:• Verify that a conductive item has not been dropped or left inside the server chassis.

• Check the connections on all blades and PSUs.

• Check the cables for bent pins.

• Check the processors for bent pins.

If the Blade Server Powers On but Fails POST (Power-On Self Test)Use this checklist to check for the following problems when the Blade Server fails POST:

• Attempt a recovery boot.

• Run the Event Log Report Utility.

If the Blade Server Powers On but Error Messages Are Displayed.Use these steps to troubleshoot the errors.

36. 1. If an error message displays on the Management blade console screen, read the error message text for 

recommended actions to take.

37. 2. If the actions do not solve your problem, or if no actions are displayed, refer to the Management BladeErrors section for additional information..

38. 3. If there is no error message, follow these steps:

a. Turn off the Blade Server and remove all external peripherals if attached, except the console and

keyboard.

 b. Reboot the Management Blade

c. If the Blade Server still is not operational, turn off the Blade Server and all external devices, and

check the internal hardware, as follows:

i. Unplug the power cords.

ii. Ensure that PSUs, input power modules, and the fan module are firmly seated in their slots.

iii. Verify that all the blades are in the proper order and firmly seated on the backplane.

iv. Ensure that all disk drive power and data cables are securely and properly connected.

v. Verify the FC configuration with the cabling and switch diagrams.

vi. Replace both power cords.

vii. Turn on the monitor.

viii. Check for error messages.

If the Fans Do Not OperateVerify that the fan assembly tray is properly seated.

If the Blade Server’s FC Drives Are Not Recognized During a BCH Search or Boot

1 Check the following if the FC drives are not recognized during a BCH search or boot command:

• Check the seating of the FC drives in the carrier and also check the seating of the FC carrier in thechassis backplane.

• Verify the FC disk carrier is installed in the correct chassis slot.

• Verify that the boot path specified matches the actual path configured. The FC path is dependent on

the chassis slot, FC carrier slot, and the backplane FC address jumpers.

Configuration Menu Command Line Interface Specifications

Interface Definition

TerminologyIn the tables below, the Name column refers to the command used. Most of these commands are for the

Configuration Menu, so their use from the command line is sometimes a little clumsy. The Read/Write columnindicates the user level required to set the value - all values are readable by all users. The Description field is a one-

line summary of what the field does. The Values column indicates how to use the command.

To read (get) a value:

smc-cmd -g name.x

Example: # smc-cmd –g configuration SMC IP Address: ______________ requested field configuration SMC IP

Address Retrieved field Configuration SMC P Address.0 = 15.8.133.217

Use one of the values from the Name column in place of name. If the “.x” is missing, it will default to “.0”. This

value is an index where there are a table of these values.

To write (set) a value:

smc-cmd -s name.x new-value

Example: # smc-cmd –s configuration

Use one of the valid values from the Values column in place of new-value. You must have permissions at least as

great as that indicated in the Read/Write column. “RO” means that the value is read-only. “Manufacture” meansthat only the manu user can perform this operation. “Superuser” means that any superuser can perform the

operation (root is the only default superuser). “Operator” means that any operator can perform the operation (there

are no operators defined by default). Other users cannot change any values (there are no other ‘normal’ users

defined).

The first table in each section contains commands for which only a single index is available. Subsequent tablescontain multiple instances of the same data as appropriate to the command
