access logix & engineering mode in FC4500 1

[siemenslimited]

Hello all
i have a FC4500 storage with access logix firmware which was running before and we had to do a reinstallation so we had to destroy alla LUNS and reinstalled all the servers attached to it after that we were not able to connect to that storage with the navisphere agent ot manager we have even tried to connect to it throw the seriaql cable with the agent but it gives access denied
emc say that you have to shutdown the access logix from the engineering mode
but the problem that i can not go into engineering mode
and i tried the FLARE but i was not able to access it ether
i tried both the CTL+shift+F12 sequance and the {}{} sequance but both didn't work with the storage and by the way it is writing FC4400 when it is starting not fc4500 as it should be
so i was wondering if anyone can give me support about that problem.

 

[maultier]

FC4400 is ok. That is identifying the storage processor. FC4500 is the complete dpe.
If there are no luns, you'll have to go thru the serial port to set at least one up.
You have to have administrator priveledges on the pc you're using to connect to the serial port to escape the 'access denied' message.
For the Ctrl Shift F12 sequence to work, you must have the storage array highlighted in Navi Manager.
Also, the array serial port may be set to 19200 instead of 9600. You might want to give that a try.

 

[squiddog]

A little bit of wrong information given.

Via serial port, if you use a terminal program, you will either land at an FCLI prompt, or a "Starting Serial Mode" with no prompt. If the latter, hit @$@$ to get into debugger prompt "AROM>"

From the debugger, type "menu". From the menu, choose 7 for "nonvol menu", where you can set certain nonvolatile settings.

From there, choose 11, "Serial Mode", and from there, choose "1 - FCLI mode".

Then choose 0 to exit, and then 10 for FLARE menu, and then 5 to start flare.

You should come up to an FLCI prompt.

hit ? for a list of available commands.

From there you can destroy all existing RAID groups and start fresh.

Once you've started fresh, you ~should~ be able to use Navisphere even though there aren't any storage groups yet.

 

[squiddog]

I wanted to add that once you are communicating through Navisphere to the array, you can use the CTRL-SHIFT-F12 sequence, but that requires a password to be typed after it (you won't get a popup dialogue on v5 and prior, you need to just hit CTRL-SHIFT-F12 and then the password).

I probably shouldn't pass along the password, I'm a former EMC employee.

 

[maultier]

You're concerned about giving out a password but don't mind explaining how to get into fcli? Both are company confidential.

 

[squiddog]

You do have a valid point, but let me clarify.

How to get into FCLI mode is referenced on another website, and there are one or more links from this site to that site. All you have to do is use Google and type "CLARiiON FCLI" and you can find all sorts of info about FCLI. If you attempt to find the Navisphere password in a similar fashion, it's much harder to find.

You can find it on this board, however. If someone really wants it, they will find it here.

I also learned the FCLI information on my own, after leaving EMC. I wasn't a CE, I was an SE, and as such I wasn't officially privy to CLARiiON FCLI. Heck, I was selling FC4700, no FCLI there!

On the other hand, I was told about the password for Navisphere when I was employed at EMC. It's confidential information that I learned while employed, which is very different from confidential information leaked to the broad public that I learned well after my departure.

Hope that clears up my stance.

hello thx for your great help after beeing in the flci mode i can't configure a raid group
for example i get for

bind r0 0_1 0_2 0_3 0_4
05/13/2005 21:19:03
fcli> RB error full 0x50040101
part category 0x5 code 0x5004 error num 0x4 status 0x1 type 0x1
Bind ERROR: Bind Array: Category 0x5 Num 0x4 Type 0x1

Sunburst Code: HOST_BIND_BAD_FRU_CONFIGURATION
Status recv'd opcode 0x81 status 0x50040101
HI_BIND


all drives are unbound and they work i have set them to 0. is there a way to get the system back to factory settings? or what is the problem thx kewitz

 

[squiddog]

What FC-series array is that from?

Do all the disks show us as good? What's the output from "lustat", "di -l", and "di 0"?

hello all lights are green i can use the zero_disk all without problems, all disks are unbound seems to be everything ok. is there a way to get the system back to factory default so that we have a starting point.

Definitely looks OK.

I know of no ~direct~ method for setting everything to a factory default. It's really a matter of inspection and changing settings for people like me who have figured this stuff out bit by bit.

How about the output from "o" "o -h", "h", "ctr", "spstat".

I don't know where you can buy Navisphere cheap. Once in a while I have seen them on eBay. I'm pretty sure that EMC's licensing seeks to prevent people reselling their versions, but it happens anyhow from time to time.

Try using "cl" to clear the error log, then reboot the array, then use "getlog" and put a complete output of the log in a post here.

My 4500 has different options shown for "o", it probably has something to do with either a slightly different revision of FLARE, or some bits set somewhere (most likely from the debugger) that restrict options for different OEMs.

I have no idea what "RB error full" could be, the only reference to "RB" that I'm even passingly familiar with is "reallocation block", but your drives are zero'd so I don't think it's that. Note that it is NORMAL for your array to show you some number of options, but then you can't set an option, such as with "o 1". Not all of those "o" settings are valid for your array. The "generic" one is "3". One thing that concerns me is that output:
SPS A: --
SPS B: --

Mine show "OK" for both. So whatever is causing that "RB error full" may also be preventing the system from coming up fully.

How about sending the output from "c" as well. Do you have memory allocated to the system?

Here is my output from that screen:

I don't think it's required to set your memory settings, but you may as well try.

use the cache FCLI command to set the read cache to 74MB (I do recall that errors would prevent me from setting it too low, so if we're lucky, maybe there is just a minimum read cache to set before it becomes useful). Give the rest of your cache to the write cache. You already have 24MB assigned to System, so don't touch that.

something like:

c -rca 74 -rcb 74 <enter>
c -are 1 -bre 1 <enter>
c -u 414 <enter>
c enable <enter>

If you don't have an SPS (or an SPS emulator), you will never be able to enable write caching and frankly your performance will stink so bad that you won't like using the array.

I should have added:

If you can't activate write cache due to a missing SPS, then you may as well use 480MB for read cache, but your write performance will still stink.

Sorry, really tried as best I could.

I took my 4500 offline, I've upgraded to an FC4700.

Cache setups can be handled later. It won't stop you from binding the Raid. In looking at your earlier command line to bind the raid group, I see that there is no lun assigned. Perhaps that is causing the issue. I'll hook up to a 4500 later today and try it out.
your earlier command: bind r0 0_1 0_2 0_3 0_4
(note that r0 indicates a raid 0 unprotected volume)
what might work: bind r0 0 0_1 0_2 0_3 0_4
As I said, I'll test it later today and let you know.

 

[maultier]

OK ... tried both.
the command you used took the lun number I unbound and rebound the units to it. No errors. lustat showed lun binding.
the command I thought might work..won't. You could try using the -u switch to assign a lun number and see if that works for you. That also worked when I changed the unit number to 11.
Also, check the raid groups with the sg command and delete any that you don't need.
