Getting Started with Cabling

Appliance cabling comprises connections to the controller service processor (SP) and cablingbetween disk shelves and controllers. To access initial setup and configuration, you make anetwork or serial connection to Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM), located in theSP. All disk shelf and controller cabling must be completed before you can begin power-on andinitial configuration.

The cabling configuration for your appliance depends on the number and type of controllers anddisk shelves, as well as the number of host bus adapters (HBAs) in your system. Disk shelvesattach to other disk shelves with daisy-chained serial attached SCSI (SAS) cables. Controllersattach to each disk shelf chain with a longer SAS cable connected via HBAs located in specifiedPCIe slots of the controllers. The cabling methodology designed for the appliance includesbottom-to-top cabling for easier growth with optimum safety, strategic slot placement foroptimum load distribution and performance, and interface redundancy for clustered controllers,ensuring no single point of failure.

Disk shelves can be added to established standalone or clustered configurations withoutpowering down the appliance or loss of service to clients. For more information, see “Adding aNew Disk Shelf” in Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance Customer Service Manual. After connectingthe disk shelves, verify that you have redundant paths to each disk shelf.

To get started with cabling, use the following sections:

■ “Cabinet and Cabling Guidelines” on page 16■ “New Appliance Cabling Workflow” on page 19■ “Connecting System Cables” on page 20■ “Connecting Cluster Cables” on page 21■ “Controller Cluster I/O Ports” on page 24■ “Cabling Disk Shelves Together” on page 25■ “Cabling Controllers to Disk Shelves in a Base Cabinet” on page 29■ “Cabling Controllers in a Base Cabinet to Disk Shelves in an Expansion

Caution - Improper orientation of mini-SAS HD cables during installation can damage theHBA connector and cause the HBA to malfunction. These cables are used with 4X4 port SAS-2HBAs and 4X4 port SAS-3 HBAs. Position the blue release tab downward for horizontallymounted HBAs or to the right for vertically mounted HBAs. See My Oracle Support Doc ID1643673.1.

This section contains guidelines for properly placing and connecting the disk shelves.

Cabinet Configuration

■ For safety reasons, mount the heaviest equipment, typically disk shelves, at the bottomof the cabinet. Refer to the appropriate Oracle Safety and Compliance Guide for rack-mounting guidelines.

■ To best prepare for cabling controllers to disk shelves, now and in the future, mountcontrollers in the middle of the cabinet. This also allows for optimal air circulation, whetherin a floor- or ceiling-cooled environment.

■ Disk chains can span two adjacent cabinets if the adjoining cable length is sufficient.However, disk chains cannot span more than two cabinets.


Supported Disk Shelf Combinations and HBAs

■ Do not remove cabinet panels to run cables between cabinets.

Load Distribution

■ Balance the number of disk shelves across the disk chains in your system.■ The maximum number of disk shelves supported by each disk chain is six.■ Connect each disk chain to two HBAs if available.■ Do not mix disks with different capacities or rotation speeds within a single disk shelf.■ To maximize performance, use the maximum number of disk chains supported by the

controller's SAS HBAs. For example, four SAS HBAs with eight chains and eight diskshelves will have better performance than two SAS HBAs with four chains and eight diskshelves.

Cable Lengths

■ The maximum cable length between DE3-24 disk shelves is three meters.■ The maximum cable length between DE2-24 disk shelves is three meters.■ The maximum cable length between Sun Disk Shelves is three meters.■ The maximum cable length between a controller and disk shelves is six meters.■ The maximum cable length is six meters between disk shelves in a single chain that spans

two adjacent cabinets.

HBA Support for Disk Shelves

Disk shelves may require adding or replacing HBAs in your configuration. For HBAmaintenance procedures for each controller, see Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance CustomerService Manual.

Supported Disk Shelf Combinations and HBAs

Disk shelves are supported by specific HBAs in the controller, and can be combined in certainconfigurations within a system. Use the following table to determine the HBA type required byeach disk shelf model.

TABLE 1 Required HBA per Disk Shelf Model

configurations are limited to a specific number of total disk shelves. The following table detailsthe number of supported disk shelf chains per HBA type.

TABLE 3 Supported Disk Shelf Chains per HBA

HBA Type Number of Disk Shelf Chains per HBA

SAS-3 4x4 port 2

SAS-2 4x4 port 2

Controllers cannot simultaneously use 2x4 port SAS-2 HBAs and 4x4 port SAS-2 HBAs. Inaddition, only DE3-24 disk shelves can be connected to SAS-3 HBAs, and DE3-24 disk shelvescannot be used in the same system as DE2-24 disk shelves or Sun Disk Shelves.

The following table shows the maximum number of HBAs per controller, and the maximumnumber of disk shelves supported per controller configuration. Both standalone and clusteredcontrollers support the same maximum number of disk shelves. For controllers that supportusing DE2-24 and Sun Disk Shelves together, the controller must use 4x4 port SAS-2 HBAs,which are supported with software release 2013.1.0 and later. For information on diskcompatibility, see the Oracle Systems Handbook.

Installing, Cabling, and Powering On a New Appliance

Installing, Cabling, and Powering On a NewAppliance

1. Plan for disk shelf and controller placement as described in “Cabinet andCabling Guidelines” on page 16.

2. Install disk shelves into the rack as described in Oracle ZFS Storage ApplianceInstallation Guide. Do not apply power.

3. Install controllers into the rack as described in Oracle ZFS Storage ApplianceInstallation Guide. Do not apply power.

4. Connect the system cables as described in “Connecting SystemCables” on page 20.

5. If clustered controllers, connect the cluster cables as described in “ConnectingCluster Cables” on page 21.

6. Cable disk shelves to controllers as described in this guide. Locate yourcontroller and disk shelf types, as well as the number of controller HBAs, in“Getting Started with Cabling” on page 11.

7. Apply power to disk shelves and controllers, configure the system, and performthe initial configuration as described in “Powering On the Appliance” in OracleZFS Storage Appliance Installation Guide and “Configuring the Appliance for theFirst Time” in Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance Installation Guide.

Connecting System CablesUse the following procedure to make a physical serial or network connection to Oracle ILOM.

Use a serial SP connection for system configuration and initial configuration, which enablesyou to monitor progress, especially during system reboots. Afterward remove the serialconnection if you do not need it for CLI access. Instead, make a network SP connection, whichallows for better collection of platform data.

Caution - Failure to configure Oracle ILOM connectivity after initial setup may lead to longerthan necessary hardware fault diagnosis and resolution times. For more information aboutOracle ILOM, see “Using Oracle ILOM to Diagnose Hardware Faults” on page 34.

Before You Begin Ensure the storage controllers and disk shelves are installed, but not cabled together.

Connecting Cluster Cables

If making a serial connection to the SP (recommended), ensure that you have configuredthe administrative client as described in “Configuring the System” in Oracle ZFS StorageAppliance Installation Guide .

To make a network connection to the SP, your network must have a DHCP server.

Caution - Do not connect the power cables until instructed to do so in “Powering On theAppliance” in Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance Installation Guide.

1. To prepare for system configuration, perform one of the following SPconnections:

■ For a serial SP connection (recommended), attach a serial cable from the SER MGT port onthe rear panel of the controller to the serial port on the administrative client. Use a DB9 toRJ45 adapter if necessary.

■ For a network SP connection, attach an Ethernet cable from the NET MGT port on the rearpanel of the controller to your Ethernet switch.

If clustered controllers, repeat for the second controller.

2. Connect an Ethernet cable from the NET-0 port on the rear panel of the controllerto your Ethernet switch.If clustered controllers, repeat for the second controller.


The cluster interface card provides three redundant links that enable two controllers tocommunicate with each other. The cluster I/O ports consist of two serial links (0,1) and anEthernet link. (See “Controller Cluster I/O Ports” on page 24) Cluster cabling must bedone before powering on either controller, and all three links must be established beforeconfiguration can proceed.

Before You Begin Gather the three Ethernet cables that were supplied for connecting clustered controllers. TheZS5-x cluster cables are 2.5-meters in length. Cluster cables for other controllers are 1-meter inlength. If supplying your own Ethernet cables, ensure they are straight-through, Category 5 orbetter, and the correct length.

1. Connect the cluster serial ports of each controller to form a crossover pattern:

a. Connect one Ethernet cable between serial port 0 of one controller andserial port 1 of the other controller.


http://www.oracle.com/pls/topic/lookup?ctx=E76475-01&id=ZFSRBgpgdw

http://www.oracle.com/pls/topic/lookup?ctx=E76475-01&id=ZFSRBgpgdw




b. Connect another Ethernet cable between serial port 1 of one controller andserial port 0 of the other controller.The cables between the serial ports form a crossover pattern, as shown in the followingillustrations.

2. Connect one Ethernet cable between the Ethernet ports of each controller.The following figure shows cluster cabling between two ZS5-4 controllers.

The following figure shows cluster cabling between two ZS5-2 controllers.




Note - The cluster card for ZS3-4 and 7420 is installed in the Cluster slot, as described in thehardware overview for each controller in Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance Customer ServiceManual.





Controller Cluster I/O Ports

Controller Cluster I/O Ports

The controllers provide three redundant cluster links: two serial links and an Ethernet link. Forthe location of these cluster ports, see the hardware overview for the appropriate controller.

The following diagram illustrates the cluster serial and Ethernet ports for ZS5-4, ZS5-2, ZS4-4,ZS3-4, and 7x20 controllers.

Cabling Disk Shelves TogetherUse the following procedure to cable disk shelves together in a rack. For DEx-24P disk shelves,one-meter (3.28-foot) cables are shipped with each disk shelf. For DEx-24C and Sun DiskShelves, two-meter (6.56-foot) cables are included. The maximum cable length between diskshelves is three meters (9.84 feet).

1. Locate the appropriate cabling diagram for your system in “Getting Started withCabling” on page 11.

2. Starting in the middle of a disk shelf cable, make the appropriate number ofloose 12.7-centimeter (5-inch) diameter loops, and attach a cable tie to securethem as shown in the following illustration.Use these guidelines for creating the loops:

■ 1-meter cable length - 2 loops■ 2-meter cable length - 3 loops



■ 3-meter cable length - 4 loops

The length between the cable tie and the cable ends should be approximately 0.58 meters (23inches).

3. Facing the rear of the rack and starting with the uppermost disk shelf, hold thecable loops to the side of the rack, choosing the side closest to the disk shelfcabling ports.The cable tie should face the rear of the rack to maximize the cable length.

4. Extend the upper end of the cable to the rack rail above the uppermost diskshelf, and ensure that the cable leaves enough clearance to remove the powersupply.

5. Connect that cable end to the appropriate port in the uppermost disk shelf.Refer to the appropriate cabling diagram to identify the disk shelf port.

6. Slide the coiled cable between the vertical rack rail and the rack side panel,ensuring that the cable tie is still facing the rear of the rack.

7. Verify clearance for power supply removal, and then connect the other end of thecable to the appropriate port in the appropriate disk shelf.



8. Use another cable tie to secure the upper end of the cable to a rack rail mountinghole that is slightly above the uppermost disk shelf.Cabling 2U Disk Shelves Together (DE3-24P shown)



Cabling 4U Disk Shelves Together (DE3-24C shown)

9. Repeat this process for the remaining disk shelves in the chain, substituting thecorrect disk shelves.Keep approximately 20.32 centimeters (8 inches) between cable tie-offs on a side.

10. (Optional) Trim the cable tie excess.

11. Repeat this procedure for any additional disk shelf chains.


Cabling Controllers to Disk Shelves in a Base Cabinet

12. To connect the controllers to the disk shelf chains, see the appropriateprocedure:

■ “Cabling Controllers to Disk Shelves in a Base Cabinet” on page 29■ “Cabling Controllers in a Base Cabinet to Disk Shelves in an Expansion

Cabinet” on page 32


Use the following procedure to cable controllers to disk shelves in a base cabinet. There canbe multiple disk shelf chains within the base cabinet, and they can be located both aboveand below the controllers. After cabling together the disk shelves to form chains, each chainhas a top and bottom end that is attached to different HBAs in the controller(s). While yourconfiguration may vary, the following procedure details connecting a single controller tomultiple disk chains.


2. Loosely loop the cable that will connect the controller to the disk shelf chain.The maximum cable length between a controller and a disk shelf is six meters (19.69 feet).

3. Facing the rear of the rack, hold the cable loops to the side of the rack, choosingthe side closest to the appropriate controller HBA port.

4. Connect one end of the cable to the appropriate controller HBA port.Ensure the cable is connected to the correct HBA port. Controller models can differ in regard tovertically oriented or horizontally oriented HBAs, which affects the port order.



5. (Optional) If the controller has a Cable Management Arm (CMA), route the cablethrough the CMA, ensuring that there is ample slack for servicing the controlleras shown in the following clustered illustration.

Note - Do not route more than 12 SAS cables through the CMA.

6. Hold the other end of the cable near the disk shelf port to which it will connect.

7. Allowing ample slack for servicing components and for placing excessive cableto the side of the controller, create a 12.7-centimeter (5-inch) diameter coil withany excess cable. Secure the coil with a cable tie. If there is not excessive cable,use a cable tie to secure the cable to the side of the rack, still allowing ampleslack for servicing components.

8. Verify clearance for component removal, and then connect the other end of thecable into the appropriate port in the appropriate disk shelf.Ensure the cable is connected to the correct disk shelf port. Some I/O Modules are orientedupside down in some disk shelf models, which affects the port order.



Cabling Controllers to Disk Shelves in a Base Cabinet (ZS5-4 to DE3-24P shown)

9. If there is a cable coil, slide the coil between the vertical rack rail and the rackside panel, ensuring that the cable tie is facing the rear of the rack. Using thecable tie, secure the coil to the rack rail.

10. Repeat steps 2 through 9 to connect the second cable for the disk chain.


Cabling Controllers in a Base Cabinet to Disk Shelves in an Expansion Cabinet


12. Repeat this procedure for any remaining disk shelf chains.Keep approximately 20.32 centimeters (8 inches) between cable tie-offs on a side.

Cabling Controllers in a Base Cabinet to Disk Shelves inan Expansion Cabinet

Use the following procedure to connect controllers in a base cabinet to disk shelves in anexpansion cabinet with a 6-meter cable.


2. In the base cabinet, connect one end of the cable into the appropriate HBA portin the appropriate controller.Ensure the cable is connected to the correct HBA port. Controller models can differ in regard tovertically oriented or horizontally oriented HBAs, which affects the port order.

3. (Optional) If the controller has a Cable Management Arm (CMA), route the cablethrough the CMA, ensuring that there is ample slack for servicing the controlleras shown in the following clustered illustration. If not using a CMA, secure the


Cabling Controllers in a Base Cabinet to Disk Shelves in an Expansion Cabinet

cable to the rack rail with a cable tie, allowing ample slack for servicing thecontroller, and so the cable is not bent near its connector.

Note - Do not route more than 12 SAS cables through the CMA.

4. Route the remaining cable so it exits either the top or bottom of the base cabinetand into the corresponding top or bottom entrance of the expansion cabinet.

a. Determine the rack exit port (top or bottom). Use a cable tie to attach thecable to the rack hole closest to the rack exit.

b. Route the cable into the expansion rack through the appropriate rack cutout. Using a cabling tie, attach the cable to the closest rack hole.

5. Routing the cable vertically along the rack rail, use another cable tie to securethe cable close to the disk shelf to which it will be attached.


Using Oracle ILOM to Diagnose Hardware Faults

6. Verify clearance for power supply removal, and then connect the other end of thecable, now in the expansion cabinet, to the appropriate port in the appropriatedisk shelf.Ensure the cable is connected to the correct disk shelf port. Some I/O Modules are orientedupside down in some disk shelf models, which affects the port order.

7. If there is excessive cable, secure it to the rack rail.

a. Create a 12.7-centimeter (5-inch) diameter coil with the excess, allowingample slack for servicing components and for placing the coil to the side ofthe disk shelf.

b. Secure the coil with a cable tie.

c. Slide the coil between the vertical rack rail and the rack side panel, ensuringthat the cable tie is facing the rear of the rack.

d. Using the cable tie, secure the coil to the rack rail.


9. Repeat steps 2 through 8 to connect the second cable for the disk chain.

10. Repeat this process for any remaining disk shelf chains.Keep approximately 20.32 centimeters (8 inches) between cable tie-offs on a side.

11. Repeat the entire procedure for any additional expansion cabinets.

Using Oracle ILOM to Diagnose Hardware Faults

In rare cases, faults associated with uncorrectable CPU errors are not diagnosable or displayedin the controller. These faults are preserved by and observable on the Oracle Integrated LightsOut Manager (ILOM), which resides in the Service Processor (SP). Connect to the serverOracle ILOM to diagnose hardware faults that do not appear in the BUI.

The server Oracle ILOM provides options for (i) network and (ii) serial port connectivity.Network connection is the preferred choice because the Oracle ILOM serial port does notalways allow adequate means of platform data collection. Network connections are on port 215,and serial connections are on SSH port 22.


Changing Your SP Connection Type

Caution - Failure to configure Oracle ILOM connectivity may lead to longer than necessaryhardware fault diagnosis and resolution times.

For information about using Oracle ILOM, refer to the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager(ILOM) Documentation Library at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/documentation/sys-mgmt-networking-190072.html#ilom.

Choose the appropriate login procedure for your environment:

■ “Logging in to Oracle ILOM Using a Local Serial Connection” in Oracle ZFS StorageAppliance Customer Service Manual.

■ “Logging in to Oracle ILOM Remotely Using a Web Interface” in Oracle ZFS StorageAppliance Customer Service Manual.

■ “Logging in to Oracle ILOM Remotely Using a Command Line Interface” in Oracle ZFSStorage Appliance Customer Service Manual.

Changing Your SP Connection Type

After configuring the system and performing initial configuration, retain a connection toOracle ILOM, located in the controller SP, for troubleshooting hardware problems that do nototherwise appear in the appliance software, as well as updating the BIOS.

The following procedure describes how to remove the serial SP connection used for initialconfiguration and make a network SP connection, which allows for better collection of platformdata. Do not remove the serial SP connection if you need it for CLI access.

Caution - Failure to configure Oracle ILOM connectivity after initial setup may lead to longerthan necessary hardware fault diagnosis and resolution times.

1. Remove the serial cable attached to the SER MGT port on the rear panel of thecontroller and to the administrative client.

2. Attach an Ethernet cable from the NET MGT port on the rear panel of thecontroller to your Ethernet switch.If clustered controllers, repeat for the second controller.

Oracle DE2-24C Disk Shelf to ZFS StorageAppliance Racked System ZS4-4

This section contains an overview of the ZS4-4 Racked System and its supportedconfigurations.

For more information, see the following topics:


Overview of Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance Racked SystemZS4-4

The Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance Racked System ZS4-4 is a pre-racked and pre-cabledsystem comprising two clustered ZS4-4 controllers and up to eight DE2-24C disk shelves in thebase cabinet. Up to two expansion cabinets with up to 10 DE2-24C disk shelves each can beconnected to the base cabinet, for a total of 28 disk shelves.

Configurations are offered in multiples of two disk shelves, as well as half-rack expansion: 2disk shelves (minimum), 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 13 (half rack), 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 23 (half rack), 24,26, and 28 (maximum). Each ZS4-4 controller supports two, three, or four SAS HBA cards.However, four SAS HBA cards must be installed in each ZS4-4 controller to support diskshelves in the expansion cabinet(s).

If the clustered ZS4-4 controllers contain four SAS HBAs each, they support a high-availabilityconfiguration of:

■ Four chains of two disk shelves per disk chain in the base cabinet for a total of eight diskshelves, and

■ One to two expansion cabinets, each cabinet supporting two chains with a maximum of fivedisk shelves per disk chain, for a total of 10 disk shelves for one expansion cabinet or 20disk shelves for two expansion cabinets.

Overview of Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance Racked System ZS4-4

The base cabinet is self-contained and pre-cabled following the required cabling methodology.The section "Cabling Tables and Diagrams" describes how pre-racked systems are cabled, aswell as how to expand your system in the future.

Each cabinet contains 42 rack units (RUs), with RU01 on the bottom. Each ZS4-4 controlleroccupies three rack units, and its location is referenced by the bottommost rack unit number.The top controller is referred to as Controller 1 and is located in RU20 in the base cabinet, andthe bottom controller is Controller 0 in RU17. The following figure shows the slot number foreach HBA card, as well as the port numbers in each card.

Each DE2-24C disk shelf occupies four rack units, and disk shelves are racked from the bottomof the cabinet to the top for stability. Therefore, the first disk shelf is in RU01, the secondin RU05, and so on. As shown in the following figure, the DE2-24C disk shelf has two I/OModules (IOMs) with three ports each. Controller 1 uses Port 0, and Controller 0 uses Port 2. Inall cabling configurations, Port 1 is never used.

FIGURE 528 ZFS Storage Appliance Racked System ZS4-4: 13 DE2-24C Disk Shelves (Half Rack)







The Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance Racked System ZS5-2 is a pre-racked and pre-cabledsystem comprising two clustered ZS5-2 controllers and up to eight DE3-24C disk shelves in thebase cabinet. One expansion cabinet with up to eight DE3-24C disk shelves can be connected tothe base cabinet, for a total of 16 disk shelves.

Configurations are offered in multiples of two disk shelves, as well as half-rack expansion: 1disk shelf (minimum), 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 13 (half rack), 14, and 16 (maximum). Each ZS5-2controller supports one or two SAS HBA cards. However, two SAS HBA cards must beinstalled in each ZS5-2 controller to support disk shelves in the expansion cabinet.

If the clustered ZS5-2 controllers contain two SAS HBAs each, they support a high-availabilityconfiguration of:

■ Two chains of four disk shelves per disk chain in the base cabinet for a total of eight diskshelves, and

■ One expansion cabinet that supports two chains with a maximum of four disk shelves perdisk chain, for a total of eight disk shelves.




Each cabinet contains 42 rack units (RUs), with RU01 on the bottom. Each ZS5-2 controlleroccupies two rack units, and its location is referenced by the bottommost rack unit number. Thetop controller is referred to as Controller 1 and is located in RU20 in the base cabinet, and thebottom controller is Controller 0 in RU17. Since the ZS5-2 controller occupies two rack units,the base cabinet contains a filler panel above each controller so the cabinet layout is similarto those of other Oracle racked systems with three-rack-unit controllers. The following figureshows the slot number for each HBA card, as well as the port numbers in each card.


Each DE3-24C disk shelf occupies four rack units, and disk shelves are normally installed fromthe bottom of the cabinet to the top for stability. To provide higher performance capabilities,disk chains are alternated from the bottom to the top of the base cabinet, with four disk shelvesper chain and gaps between components. Therefore, the first disk shelf is in RU01, the secondin RU05, the third in RU23, the fourth in RU27, the fifth in RU09, and so on in an alternatingmanner. As shown in the following figure, the DE3-24C disk shelf has two I/O Modules (IOMs)with four ports each. In all cabling configurations, Port 1 and Port 3 are never used.

The Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance Racked System ZS5-4 is a pre-racked and pre-cabledsystem comprising two clustered ZS5-4 controllers and up to eight DE3-24C disk shelves in thebase cabinet. Up to three expansion cabinets with up to ten DE3-24C disk shelves each can beconnected to the base cabinet, for a total of 38 disk shelves.

Configurations are offered in multiples of two disk shelves, as well as half-rack expansion: 2disk shelves (minimum), 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 13 (half rack), 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 23 (half rack), 24,26, 28, 30, 32, 33 (half rack), 34, 36, and 38 (maximum). Each ZS5-4 controller supports two,three, or four SAS HBA cards. However, four SAS HBA cards must be installed in each ZS5-4controller to support disk shelves in the expansion cabinet(s).

If the clustered ZS5-4 controllers contain four SAS HBAs each, they support a high-availabilityconfiguration of:

■ Two chains of four disk shelves per disk chain in the base cabinet for a total of eight diskshelves, and
