EMC AX150-Series Integrated Management Software Release Notes
On a disk module removal, the blue lights for the other disk modules
return to a normal state: on or blinking due to I/O in progress.
The storage system appears to have resumed normal operation.
Database disk module replacement
You should replace disk module 0, 1 or 2 only when the storage system
is fully operational. The disk modules in these slots are FLARE OE
database disk modules. Each database disk module contains an image of
the storage-system configuration and current operating status. FLARE
OE software ensures that the newly inserted disk module has the correct
database information copied to it when it is installed while the storage
system is running. If you insert a disk module into one of these slots
when the storage system is powered off, the correct FLARE OE database
information is not written to the replaced database disk module. As a
result, storage-system configuration problems may occur when the
storage system is powered up or if another database disk module fails. If
you install a FLARE OE database disk module and you find that existing
virtual disks are not enabled, contact your service provider.
Software image disk module replacement
The FLARE software image is stored on disk modules 0 and 2 for the
AX150SC and AX150SCi and disk modules 0, 1, 2 and 3 for the AX150
and AX150i. Disk modules 0 and 2 mirror the software for the AX150SC
and AX150SCi SP and for the AX150 and AX150i SP A. Disk modules 1
and 3 mirror the software for the AX150 and AX150i SP B. You should
never remove and/or replace both disk modules in one of the mirrors at
the same time. If you do, no software exists to support that SP, and the
SP becomes nonfunctional.
Navisphere Integrator management of non-AX150 CLARiiON storage
systems on the same subnet as AX150-series storage systems
If you install an AX150-series storage system on the same network as
other CLARiiON storage systems that you manage with Navisphere
Integrator, you must upgrade to Navisphere Integrator version 6.16 or
higher.
Linux server notes
Admsnap
Admsnap does not support Linux 2.2 kernels.
Snapshot management
The reboot of the Linux server may be slow if deactivated snapshots
exist. Activating the snapshots allows the reboot to complete normally.
