B­3 ix Preface Intended Audience This manual is written for Digital customer service engineers and self­ maintenance customers who require information on installing a DEC 7000 AXP system or a VAX 7000 system. Document Structure This manual uses a structured documentation design. Topics are organ­ ized into small sections for efficient on­line and printed reference. Each topic begins with an abstract. You can quickly gain a comprehensive over­ view by reading only the abstracts. Next is an illustration or example, which also provides quick reference. Last in the structure are descriptive text and syntax definitions. This manual has nine chapters and three appendixes, as follows: · Chapter 1, Installation Overview, provides a flowchart which sum­ marizes the installation process. · Chapter 2, Installing the System Cabinet, shows how to unpack and install the system cabinet. · Chapter 3, Installing an Expander Cabinet, explains how to in­ stall one or more expander cabinets, if present. · Chapter 4, Making Console, Ethernet, and FDDI Connections, shows how to connect the console and Ethernet and FDDI devices if present to the system. · Chapter 5, Connecting to a DSSI Subsystem, shows how to con­ nect to a DSSI subsystem, if present. · Chapter 6, Connecting to a CI VMScluster, shows how to connect to a CI VMScluster, if present. · Chapter 7, Powering Up the System, explains how to start the sys­ tem by applying main power. · Chapter 8, System Self­Test, describes the system self­test and its results. · Chapter 9, Diagnostics and Utilities, describes how to verify sys­ tem operation using diagnostics and utilities. x · Appendix A contains an overview of storage architectures for the VAX 7000 system. · Appendix B describes some generally important DSSI concepts. · Appendix C explains how to connect the remote services console to the system. Conventions Used in This Document Terminology. Unless specified otherwise, the use of "system" refers to either a DEC 7000 AXP or VAX 7000 system. The DEC 7000 AXP systems use the Alpha AXP architecture. References in text use DEC 7000 to refer to DEC 7000 AXP systems. When a discussion applies to only one system, an icon is used to highlight that system. Otherwise, the discussion applies to both systems. Thus, the abstract for a module that applies only to DEC 7000 systems would look like this: Book titles. In text, if a book is cited without a product name, that book is part of the hardware documentation. It is listed in Table 1 along with its order number. Icons. The icons shown below are used in illustrations for designating part placement in the system described. A shaded area in the icon shows the location of the component or part being discussed. DEC 7000 This section shows a sample boot of OpenVMS Alpha AXP from the RRD42 CD drive for DEC 7000 systems. The first step is issuing the show device command to determine the location of the RRD42. xi Documentation Titles Table 1 lists the books in the DEC 7000 and VAX 7000 documentation set.

It consists of one section: · Installation Flowchart 1­2 Installation Overview 1.1 Installation Flowchart In general, a system is installed as shown in Figure 1­1. Figure 1­1 Installation Flowchart Installation Overview 1­3 In general, the procedure is as follows (Figure 1­1): 1. Install the system cabinet as described in Chapter 2. 2. If the system has one or more expander cabinets, refer to Chapter 3 for installation instructions. 3. Connect the console, and, if appropriate, make the Ethernet and FDDI connections as described in Chapter 4. 4. If connecting to a DSSI subsystem (VAX 7000 systems only), refer to Chapter 5 for installation instructions and to Appendix A and Appen­ dix B for background information. 5. If connecting to a CI VMScluster, refer to Chapter 6 for installation in­ structions. 6. Power up the system as described in Chapter 7. 7. Observe and consider the results of the system self­test as described in Chapter 8. 8. Verify system operation by running various diagnostics and utilities as described in Chapter 9. Installing the System Cabinet 2­1 Chapter 2 Installing the System Cabinet This chapter describes how to install a system cabinet. The system cabinet contains the CPU, memory, and optional I/O, disk, or battery plug­in units (PIUs). If your system has one or more expander cabinets, unpack the cabinet(s) and remove them from their pallet(s) as described in the first four sections of this chapter. Then skip to Chapter 3 for further instructions. Sections in this chapter include: · Inspect the Shipment · Collect Tools and Resources · Remove Carton and Packing Material · Remove from the Pallet · Level the Cabinet · Assemble and Install Side Skirts · Assemble and Install Front Skirt 2­2 Installing the System Cabinet 2.1 Inspect the Shipment Check to ensure that all system equipment is at the installation site. Figure 2­1 Inspection Flowchart Installing the System Cabinet 2­3 NOTE: Physically inspect the system to be sure parts have not become loose during shipment. If you find a damaged container or package, notify the customer. Wait un­ til the customer contacts the insurance company and gives you permission to continue unpacking. Compare items listed on the Product Delivery Document (in a slip envelope on the shipping box) with the packing slip contained in a plastic envelope on the shipping box. Items should be compared throughout the installa­ tion procedure as boxes are unpacked and cabinets are opened. It is important to record information on damaged or opened containers on the Labor Activity Reporting System (LARS) form. 2­4 Installing the System Cabinet 2.2 Collect Tools and Resources You will need the items listed in Table 2­1 to unpack and install the system cabinet. The removal of the cabinet from the pallet re­ quires at least two people. Table 2­1 Tools and Resources Item Use Product Delivery Document and packing slip To verify that all hardware has been delivered Utility knife To remove straps from cabinet shipping boxes Adjustable wrench To remove pallet brackets and to adjust leveler feet Level To verify that the cabinet is properly leveled Socket wrench set To remove and install bolts Digital voltmeter To check AC and DC voltages Table or bench Work space for unpacking and installation Installing the System Cabinet 2­5 Review requirements such as power, environmental, and space require­ ments for the system. NOTE: Since the cabinet is heavy and has a high center of gravity, remov­ ing it from the pallet requires at least two people. If the system also includes an expander cabinet, you will additionally need the tools listed in Table 2­2 during installation. Table 2­2 Expander Cabinet Tools Tool Use Large Phillips screwdriver To remove and install screws and to re­ move the 1/4 turn skirt fasteners Flathead screwdriver For installation of IOP cable(s) For more information: Site Preparation Guide 2­6 Installing the System Cabinet 2.3 Remove Carton and Packing Material Take off the carton and remove all packing material to prepare the system cabinet for removal from the pallet. Figure 2­2 Packing Material Installing the System Cabinet 2­7 Use the following procedure to unpack the system cabinet: 1. Position the carton so that the front faces an open space with enough clearance to allow the cabinet to be rolled down ramps. 2. Using a utility knife, cut the shipping straps from the carton. 3. Remove the outside top cardboard cover. 4. Remove the outside shipping box. This is typically done by using a 7/16" socket wrench to remove two bolts that hold the box together. 5. Remove the inside top cardboard cover. 6. Remove the protective plastic wrapping by slipping it up and over the cabinet. 7. Locate the box that contains the ramp kit and open it (see Figure 2­2). 8. Locate and remove the two control panel keys. The keys are typically tie­wrapped to the cabinet's rear grill. Insert one key into the control panel and put the other key away in a safe place. NOTE: It's a good idea to save all packing materials intact in case the sys­ tem needs to be shipped in the future. 2­8 Installing the System Cabinet 2.4 Remove from the Pallet Check the cabinet for external damage. Remove the four shipping brackets that attach the cabinet to the pallet. Insert the ramps on the front of the pallet and remove the cabinet. WARNING: At least two people are required to remove the cabinet from the pallet. Figure 2­3 Preparation and Removal from Pallet Installing the System Cabinet 2­9 WARNING: Serious injury may result if the cabinet is improperly han­ dled or proper safety conditions are not met. Check the cabinet sides, top, and front and rear doors for damage. If the cabinet is damaged, do the following: a. Enter the location and extent of the damage on the LARS report. b. Notify the customer and your unit manager. c. Stop unpacking until the customer gives you permission to con­ tinue. 1. Using an adjustable wrench, remove the four bolts and shipping brackets that hold the cabinet leveler feet to the pallet (see Figure 2­3). 2. Check the leveler feet. They should be in the uppermost position, away from the floor (see Section 2.5). 3. Attach the ramps by fitting the prongs into the holes on the front of the pallet. Place the ramps so that the runners are on the inside. Align the arrows on the ramps and pallet (see Figure 2­3). 4. The plastic grills on the front and back doors are fragile. If you want to remove the doors to avoid damage to the grills, refer to Section 3.4 for more information. 5. With two people working together (one in front and one in back), slowly roll the cabinet off the pallet down the ramps. Move the cabinet into position. This should be done on a firm level floor, not on a car­ pet. NOTE: Make sure the space under the cabinet is clear of any debris or ex­ traneous materials. 2­10 Installing the System Cabinet 2.5 Level the Cabinet Inspect the rubber leveler feet to be sure they have not been dam­ aged during shipping. To level the cabinet, adjust the feet and check the cabinet with a bubble level. Figure 2­4 Leveler Foot Adjustment Installing the System Cabinet 2­11 1. Using an adjustable wrench, lower and adjust the leveler feet. (A shipping bracket can also be used to lower the leveler feet. The bracket cutout and leveler feet hexnuts are the same size). In order for the cabinet skirts to be installed properly later, the leveler feet must now be lowered sufficiently for the cabinet wheels to be off the floor. 2. Using a bubble level, check to see that the cabinet is properly leveled (side to side and front to rear). 2­12 Installing the System Cabinet 2.6 Assemble and Install Side Skirts Assemble and install side skirts for the cabinet. Figure 2­5 System Cabinet Side Skirt Assembly and Installation Installing the System Cabinet 2­13 1. Assemble a side skirt by attaching a side skirt "upper" to a side skirt "main" with four self­tapping screws (all assembly components are contained in the installation kit) as shown in Figure 2­5. 2. Attach the side skirt to the outside base of the system cabinet (see Fig­ ure 2­5). This is done by aligning the two 1/4 turn Phillips fasteners in the skirt with the matching holes in the cabinet base. Then simply push the fasteners into the holes. 3. Repeat 1 and 2 for the other side of the system cabinet. 2­14 Installing the System Cabinet 2.7 Assemble and Install Front Skirt Assemble and install the front skirt for the cabinet. Figure 2­6 System Cabinet Front Skirt Assembly and Installation Installing the System Cabinet 2­15 1. Assemble a front skirt by inserting a left­hand endcap and a right­ hand endcap into either end of a front center skirt piece (all assembly components are contained in the installation kit) as shown in Figure 2­6. 2. Attach the front skirt to the outside base of the front of a cabinet by aligning the two 1/4 turn Phillips fasteners in the skirt assembly with the matching holes in the cabinet base (see Figure 2­6). Then push the fasteners into the holes until they click and seat. Installing an Expander Cabinet 3­1 Chapter 3 Installing an Expander Cabinet This chapter explains how to install one or more expander cabinets for the system. An expander cabinet provides room for I/O adapters, batteries, and optional storage capacity for the system. The system can have a maxi­ mum of two expander cabinets. Both the upper and lower portions of the expander cabinet can have plug­ in units (PIUs). The lower portion can have I/O, disk, or battery PIUs. The upper portion can have disk PIUs only.

Figure 3­1 Expander Cabinet (Front View) Installing an Expander Cabinet 3­3 1. Inspect the shipment for the expander cabinet as done for the system cabinet (see Section 2.1). 2. Collect the tools and resources needed to install the expander cabinet (see Section 2.2). 3. Remove the carton and packing material from the expander cabinet (see Section 2.3). Identify and put aside the components of the instal­ lation kit which includes the side, top, and bottom spacers, screws, bolts, and skirt(s). Some parts from the system cabinet will need to be removed and installed on the expander cabinet. 4. Remove the expander cabinet from the shipping pallet (see Section 2.4). 3­4 Installing an Expander Cabinet 3.2 Position the Cabinet Position the expander cabinet next to the system cabinet. The first expander cabinet is positioned to the right of the system cabinet, and the second to the left of the system cabinet (as viewed from the front). Figure 3­2 Expander Cabinet Positioning Installing an Expander Cabinet 3­5 1. As shown in Figure 3­2, position the first expander cabinet to the right of the system cabinet as viewed from the front of the system.

The ISEs can be in the system cabinet or in expander cabinets. Figure 5­1 Single­Host System Connecting to a DSSI Subsystem 5­5 A VAX 7000 system can have a maximum of 84 RF drives and a TF tape drive in the system cabinet and expander cabinets. The system cabinet can hold up to 12 RF drives and each expander cabinet can contain 36 RF drives. Up to 12 KFMSA­BA adapter modules are supported on the sys­ tem. On single­host systems, disk PIUs in expander cabinets are cabled as through­bus. For more information: KFMSA Module Installation and User Manual KFMSA Module Service Guide 5­6 Connecting to a DSSI Subsystem 5.3 KFMSA­BA Adapter VAX 7000 systems support DSSI using the KFMSA­BA adapter in­ stalled in the XMI card cage. Each KFMSA­BA supports or has two DSSI buses. The KFMSA­BA has diagnostic LEDs and reports status to the system self­test display. Figure 5­2 KFMSA­BA LEDs Connecting to a DSSI Subsystem 5­7 The KFMSA­BA runs a self­test during power­up and the console displays results on the system self­test display. The yellow LED on the KFMSA­BA lights to indicate that self­test passed. If a KFMSA­BA fails self­test, check the diagnostic LEDs on the module. Two sets of four red LEDs report status for each of the logical ports associ­ ated with the two physical buses. The KFMSA­BA adapter has removable termination; with the termination present on the module, it supports single­ and dual­host subsystems, and with the termination removed supports tri­ and quad­host subsystems. Of the eight nodes configured between any two terminators on KFMSA­BA adapters, one to three nodes can be KFMSA­BA adapters. The remaining nodes can be RF disk or TF tape integrated storage elements (ISEs). For more information: KFMSA Module Installation and User Manual KFMSA Module Service Guide 5­8 Connecting to a DSSI Subsystem 5.4 Cables Each KFMSA module has two separate DSSI buses (ports) cabled from the XMI backplane. The cable from XMI backplane section D (upper section) is designated as bus 1, and the cable from section E is bus 2. These cables connect to the XMI PIU bulkhead at a DSSI connector. Figure 5­3 I/O Ports for DSSI Cables NOTE: For standalone systems with DSSI PIUs, node ID settings are fac­ tory set to 7 and require no change. For multi­hosts, reset node ID settings as required. Connecting to a DSSI Subsystem 5­9 The DSSI buses are configured physically by the cable. Check your cables before beginning installation. If you need additional cables, see Table 5­3. The overall physical bus length is limited to 24 m (80 ft). Therefore, sys­ tems and devices on the DSSI bus must reside close to each other. One ex­ ternal DSSI cable is required for each bus connection between systems; two cables are required to connect two systems and an expander cabinet. Removable terminators must be properly installed. See the DSSI VAXcluster Installation and Troubleshooting Manual and the KFMSA Module Installation and User Manual for specific instructions on where and how to install the terminator(s).

For more information: DSSI VAXcluster Installation and Troubleshooting Manual KFMSA Module Installation and User Manual 5­10 Connecting to a DSSI Subsystem 5.5 Install DSSI Cables to ISEs Each KFMSA­BA module has two separate DSSI buses (ports). At­ tach ISEs to the DSSI bus by cabling them to the XMI I/O bulkhead at the appropriate DSSI connector. Record bus and node ID on configuration sheets. See Figure 5­4. Figure 5­4 DSSI Cable Installation Connecting to a DSSI Subsystem 5­11 1. XMI Node Number Locate the XMI slot of the KFMSA­BA by looking in the XMI card cage. The XMI node number and physical slot number are the same. 2. DSSI Bus Number Each KFMSA­BA module has two separate DSSI buses (ports) cabled from XMI backplane sections D and E. The cable from section D (up per section) is designated as bus 1, and the cable from section E is bus 2. Each bus presents a discrete set of registers to the host. Note that for communication to occur, the host software must identify which DSSI bus is attached to which ISE. Use the color­coded labels (from the KFMSA Module Installation and User Manual) at each connector end of a cable to make maintenance easier. Record the label colors on the configuration sheet, also found in the manual. When attaching the cables to a disk PIU: 1. Open the cabinet door. 2. For each populated bus, install one external cable to one of the KFMSA­BA disk controller ports. Tighten the two screws that secure each cable to the XMI I/O bulkhead. 3. If the system has more than one KFMSA­BA adapter, install addi­ tional DSSI cables to the XMI I/O bulkhead, as above. 4. Install terminators where needed. For more information: KFMSA Module Installation and User Manual 5­12 Connecting to a DSSI Subsystem 5.6 Set Node IDs Node IDs are factory set and usually do not require changing. If required, set the KFMSA­BA node ID on the XMI I/O bulkhead. Set the DSSI node IDs for the ISEs using the switches on the disk PIU. Record the IDs on the configuration sheet. Figure 5­5 Setting the KFMSA­BA Node ID on the I/O Panel Connecting to a DSSI Subsystem 5­13 The node IDs for KFMSA­BA modules are factory set with both ports hav­ ing the node ID of 7. KFMSA­BA node IDs for single­host systems do not have to be changed. For a dual­host system, the second host system's KFMSA­BA node ID must be set to 6. On a tri­host system, the third host system's KFMSA­BA node ID must be set to 5. On a quad­host system, the fourth host system's KFMSA­BA node ID must be set to 4. If the second and third hosts have multi­host I/O panels (as shown in Fig­ ure 5­5), use the KFMSA­BA select knob to change the KFMSA­BA node ID. If required, set the DSSI node IDs for the ISEs using the switches on the disk PIU. NOTE: The new ISE node IDs are not in effect until each device is turned off, then on (power­cycled). After power­cycling, the node IDs have been changed at the ISE level. In addition to the physical space requirements, the ISEs and operating system generate additional parameters to communicate with the host: sys­ tem ID, node name, MSCP/TMSCP unit numbers, allocation class, and force name.

The CIXCD adapter con­ nects the VAX 7000 system through the XMI bus to a VM­ Scluster. If your system connects to a DSSI subsystem, this installation must be done before the CI connections (see Chapter 5). 6­2 Connecting to a CI VMScluster 6.1 CIXCD Installation Configuration Rules Follow these rules to install a CIXCD adapter for the HSC, adapt­ ers on other CI nodes, and the CIXCD itself. The key parameter to be set is the Quiet Slot DELTA Time; you must use jumpers or switches to set this parameter to 10, rather than accepting the de­ fault value of 7. Figure 6­1 CIXCD Jumper to Set Quiet Slot DELTA Time Connecting to a CI VMScluster 6­3 To install a system with a CIXCD adapter into an existing cluster, there are mandatory steps. The first four steps apply to the VMScluster configu­ ration. 1. Ensure that the LINK module on the HSC has a Quiet Slot DELTA Time of 10. If it does not, you must change it to 10 using a switch, wire, or board replacement and switch, depending on the model of the HSC. Check the HSC Installation Manual for details. 2. Set the Quiet Slot DELTA Time to 10 on all nodes installed on the cluster. Every CI node must have Quiet Slot DELTA Time set to 10. 3. Check that the OpenVMS version running on all nodes is compatible with the new version of OpenVMS being installed. This is done by checking the OpenVMS versions against the Software Product De­ scription or the required OpenVMS version for your system. 4. Check the HSC microcode and LINK module against required ver­ sions in the Cluster Revision Matrix. Update the required version level as needed. 5. Set the Quiet Slot DELTA time on the CIXCD to 10. Install a jumper between pins E15 and E45 on the XMI backplane's CIXCD segment. You cannot leave a default configuration. You must change the Quiet Slot DELTA Time to 10. The default configuration for a system without jumpers installed is: · CI Node Address = 0 · Quiet Slot DELTA Time = 7 (must be set to 10) · Boot Time = 1500 seconds · Normal CI Arbitration · Normal Header systems in the cluster · Cluster Size = 16 · Short ACK Timeout CAUTION: Failure to follow these configuration rules may result in unre­ liable operation. For more information: HSC Installation Manual 6­4 Connecting to a CI VMScluster 6.2 Setting CIXCD Parameters To set parameters for the CIXCD adapter to other than default val­ ues, you must install jumpers on the backplane. Note that these jumpers are only placed in segments D2 and E2. Figure 6­2 XMI Backplane Segments D and E Connecting to a CI VMScluster 6­5 Refer to Figure 6­2 to determine which jumper corresponds to which back­ plane pin. The XMI backplane contains 29 pins that may need jumpers on the backplane in sections D and E. The corresponding jumpers are denoted W1 through W30, with W9 being reserved. The module functions that can be modified by jumper placement are the following: · Set CI port address (mandatory) · Set Quiet Slot DELTA Time to 10 (mandatory) · Boot time · Disable arbitration · Extend header · Cluster size · Extend ACK timeout The general procedure for installing jumpers is as follows: 1. Open the rear cabinet door and the I/O bulkhead door. Use a flash­ light for best visibility. 2. Find the XMI backplane slot corresponding to the CIXCD module. The internal cables are connected to the pins on the leftmost section of the module as seen from the rear. The jumpers are installed on the pins of the rightmost segment of the module. 3. Install jumpers between backplane pins to set the desired module pa­ rameters. 4. Close the I/O bulkhead door and the cabinet door. For more information: CIXCD Interface User Guide 6­6 Connecting to a CI VMScluster 6.2.1 Setting the VMScluster Node Address (Mandatory) The CI port address is obtained from the CIXCD port adapter mod­ ule's backplane slot, with both the CI port address and its comple­ ment configured exactly the same.

The specific jumpers are detailed in this module. Figure 6­6 Jumper Pins for Extend Header, Extend ACK Timeout, and Disable Arbitration Connecting to a CI VMScluster 6­13 Extend Header Selection Jumper W11 (D11/41) controls the extend header bit, which when set, al­ lows the LINK module to extend the number of bit­synchronous characters in the header. Jumper OUT = Normal header (default) Jumper IN = Extended header Extend ACK Timeout Selection The extend ACK timeout bit forces the LINK module to increase the time­ out period for an ACK return. The jumper representing this bit is W12 (D12/42). Jumper OUT = Short timeout (default) Jumper IN = Long timeout Disable Arbitration Selection The disable arbitration selection bit when set, defeats the normal arbitra­ tion sequence and allows the LINK module to transmit after waiting only one basic Quiet Slot DELTA Time.

Sections include: · Prepare to Check the AC Power · Measure the AC Power · Turn the Power On and Check Indicators 7­2 Powering Up the System 7.1 Prepare to Check the AC Power As a preliminary step before checking the AC power, make sure that the power cable is not plugged in and that the breaker switch is off. Figure 7­1 Circuit Breaker Powering Up the System 7­3 1. At this point, the AC power cord should still be unplugged. 2. Pull down the circuit breaker handle on the AC input box (see Figure 7­1). 3. At the control panel, make sure the keyswitch is in the Disable posi­ tion. The circuit breaker controls power to the system. For normal operation, the circuit breaker must be in the on position, in which the handle is pushed up. To shut the circuit breaker off, push the handle down. Current overload causes the circuit breaker to trip to the off position, so that power to the system is turned off. 7­4 Powering Up the System 7.2 Measure the AC Power With a digital multimeter, check the AC power supplied at the re­ ceptacle at the installation site. Figure 7­2 Measuring System Power Powering Up the System 7­5 1. Check that the receptacle provided is correct. This should have been done during site preparation. 2. Using a voltmeter, measure the voltages between all three phases and each phase to neutral (see Figure 7­2). Verify that the voltages are within the range specified in Table 7­1. If the voltages are out of range, contact an electrician. 3. Plug the power cord into the receptacle. Table 7­1 AC Input Voltage Specifications NOTE: In some installations, power regulators must be balanced so the AC power distribution system will not be overloaded. Balancing means connecting AC power so that the loads from the regulators are evenly distributed among the AC phases. This ensures that any one phase does not draw excessive power. Power regulators may be moved to different slots to balance the load among AC phases.

Place the keyswitch in the Enable position; then monitor the state of the system as it is powering up. Figure 7­3 CCL and Control Panel LEDs Powering Up the System 7­7 1. Turn the power on by pushing the circuit breaker handle up. 2. Go to the front of the cabinet and check that the green power regulator LED(s) are blinking. 3. Place the control panel keyswitch in the Enable position. The follow­ ing should occur (see Figure 7­3): a. The yellow Fault indicator on the control panel blinks indicating power sequencing is taking place. b. The blower turns on. c. The yellow Fault indicator stays on continuously for a short time indicating self­test is taking place. Module self­test LEDs light as described in Section 8.1 and a self­test console display appears on the console terminal as described in Section 8.2. The console prompt appears at the end of a successful self­test display. The yel­ low Fault indicator goes out when self­test passes for all modules in the system. Go to the rear of the cabinet and check the CCL LEDs (see Figure 7­3). The cabinet control logic (CCL) module has four LEDs that are visible through a shield slot when the rear door is opened. These LEDs verify that the enable signals have been sent to the four PIU power regulators. The LEDs are numbered one to four. The LEDs are lit if a PIU is present and power sequencing has been com­ pleted. If a LED is not lit, the PIU is not present, the PIU is not cabled correctly, or the CCL module has not enabled the PIU. Turn on the power switches on the individual PIUs as needed. The CCL module also has a power LED that lights when the circuit breaker is turned on; the LED indicates that 5 VDC is present on the CCL module. For more information: Basic Troubleshooting System Self­Test 8­1 Chapter 8 System Self­Test On power­up, the system runs an automatic self­test. Self­test results are indicated by module LEDs, the self­test display at the console terminal, and the Fault light on the control panel. Sections in this chapter include: · Check Module Status LEDs · Check the Self­Test Display 8­2 System Self­Test 8.1 Check Module Status LEDs Check the system module status LEDs for self­test success. If the LEDs indicate failure, refer to the Basic Troubleshooting manual for more information. Figure 8­1 Powering Up and Checking the LEDs System Self­Test 8­3 Processor and memory modules have a green LED that lights when the module passes or completes self­test. These LEDs can be viewed through holes in the shield of the module enclosure from the front and rear of the cabinet when the doors are open (see Figure 8­1). I/O modules have a yel­ low LED that lights when the module passes self­test. The I/O module LEDs can also be seen through holes in the PIU enclosure shield. The DWLMA has a yellow self­test LED and four others which after successful start­up are lit as shown in Table 8­1.

Node numbers and slot numbers are identical. Nodes 0 through 3 reflect the right­to­left position of the LSB slots as viewed from the front of the cabinet. Nodes 4 through 8 reflect the right­to­left position of the LSB slots as viewed from the rear of the cabinet. XMI entries use nodes 1 through E. The TYP line indicates the type of module at each LSB node: · An adapter: the I/O port module (A) · A memory module (M) · A processor (P) A period (.) indicates that the slot is not populated or that the module is not reporting. The ST1ST3 lines show the results of the testing. This information is taken from the self­test bit in the LCNR register of each module. The en­ tries are: · + (pass) · - (fail) · o (does not apply). In this example, the I/O port module has "o" be­ cause there is no module­resident self­test. The BPD line indicates boot processor designation. The results on this line indicate: · The boot processor (B) · Processors eligible to become the boot processor (E) · Processors ineligible to become the boot processor (D) The BPD line is printed three times. After the first determination of the boot processor, the processors go through two more rounds of testing. Since it is possible for a processor to pass self­test at line ST1 and fail ST2 or ST3 testing, the processors again determine the boot processor following each round of tests. The I/O channel lines C0 through C3 indicate the I/O channel that con­ nects the XMI I/O bus to the system bus and indicates self­test results for the DWLMA and all XMI adapters. In this example, self­test passed on XMI nodes 1, 2, 3, and 8. 1 2 1 1 For more information: Basic Troubleshooting 3 2 3 4 4 5 2 Diagnostics and Utilities 9­1 Chapter 9 Diagnostics and Utilities After the system passes self­test, you must verify proper system operation. First verify the presence of SCSI devices, then verify the boot device load path. After the path is verified, you can boot the operating system and use operating system­based test programs (such as UETP) to complete system verification. All functions previously provided by off­line loadable diagnostics and utili­ ties are now provided by the console (ROM­based) or not supported at all. The Loadable Firmware Update (LFU) Utility is currently the only sup­ ported off­line loadable program. It is used to update firmware on any module residing on the LSB or XMI bus.

Figure 9­2 Verification Procedure Diagnostics and Utilities 9­5 1 When the system powers up, self­test runs. Verify that all tests have passed by checking the results in the self­test display. 2 Use the show configuration command to determine the self­test status for the I/O adapter through which loading will be performed. For RRD42 CD drive booting, check the status of the KZMSA I/O adapter. For InfoServer booting, check the status of the DEMNA or DEMFA I/O adapter. Determine the mnemonic assigned to the I/O adapter associated with the target boot device. 3 Check the console load device hardware. For VAX 7000 systems, check the Ethernet adapter by examining the self­test results and the green test light on the module, which reports the results of the Ethernet loopback test. 4 Using the mnemonic in step 2, use the show network command (such as show network demna0) to obtain the assigned name of the target device. 5 Load and run the operating system. 6 Verify the system under the installed operating system.

Check the output against the physical SBBs (stor­ age building blocks). Nodes are set by the physical posi­ tion of the SBB and do not have to be set. Diagnostics and Utilities 9­13 Basics: · An XMI PIU is required to house the KZMSA adapter. · Each KZMSA has two ports. Each port has a maximum of eight nodes per bus, including the initiator (the KZMSA adapter). · Each SCSI (BA655) PIU can have one or two shelves; each modular storage shelf (BA350 DECstor/me) has a power supply and can hold seven 3.5" SBBs (such as RZ26s or TLZ06s), two 5.25" SBBs (such as the RZ73 drives), or a combination of these. · The two shelves in a SCSI PIU can each be on their own bus or can be daisy­chained together, provided there are no conflicting SCSI nodes. · The system cabinet can house a maximum of two BA655 SCSI PIUs. · SCSI configurations are discrete within a cabinet; that is, the bus and all nodes reside within one cabinet, either the system cabinet or the ex­ pander cabinet. For installation, all cabling and node setting has been completed prior to shipping. To check the configuration, check self­test and issue a show de­ vice console command: 1 The system goes through self­test. Check that the KZMSA adapter passed self­test. 2 Issue a show device command. In this example, the KZMSA is in slot 13 (slot D) of the XMI that is channel 0. There are two ports off this KZMSA (see 2 ). The devices from port 1 are listed first, fol­ lowed by the devices from port 2. 3 Each port connects to a shelf housing seven RZ26's on one bus. All devices in this example are reporting to the console and are working. 9­14 Diagnostics and Utilities 9.6.2 Check Console Output Against Physical Devices Figure 9­4 SCSI PIU with SBBs DEC 7000 Next check the output from the show device command against the physical SBBs in the SCSI PIUs. Diagnostics and Utilities 9­15 Check the output from the show device command against the physical SBBs in the SCSI PIU. There should be a one­to­one correspondence be­ tween SBBs reporting to the console and physical devices mounted in the PIU. Note that the node number reported by the console corresponds to the physical position of an SBB within a shelf; the slots and nodes are numbered 0 to 6, from top to bottom (see Figure 9­4). Each SBB has two LEDs. The green LED on the left lights when the SBB is mounted and being accessed.

Diagnostics and Utilities 9­17 Check the Ethernet adapter's self­test results. The show configuration printout is the most convenient display of the results. A "+" indicates the adapter passed self­test. Independent of the module's internal self­test is an external loopback test. The loopback test runs independently at power­up and its results are not included in the self­test. That is, a DEMNA could pass self­test but fail the external loopback test. The results of the external loopback testing are re­ ported by the External Loopback LED on the module. It is a green LED be­ low the yellow Self­Test OK LED. Open the front cabinet door. Noting the adapter's card cage position from the show configuration printout, locate the module in the appropriate card cage and slot. If the External Loopback LED is not lit, the module may have passed self­ test, but may not be able to send or receive commands.

This appendix provides some gen­ eral information on the various alternatives. A­2 Storage Architecture Overview A.1 Storage Architecture and Options A VAX 7000 system can connect disks and tapes on the XMI bus via the VAX 7000 to XMI adapter (DWLMA) using KDM70 and KFMSA­ BA adapters. VAX 7000 systems also have multiple paths for CI, DSSI, and Ethernet connections. Figure A­1 VAX 7000 Architecture VAX 7000 systems have several choices of VMScluster adapters and com­ munication interconnects. Figure A­1 shows a system architecture, and Ta­ ble A­1 lists the adapters and configuration limits.

For more information: DSSI VAXcluster Installation Guide A­4 Storage Architecture Overview A.2 DSSI and CI VMSclusters Compared Figure A­2 CI and DSSI Compared VAX 7000 The Digital Storage System Interconnect (DSSI) bus is sup­ ported on VAX 7000 systems using the KFMSA­BA adapter. It is a daisy­chained multi­drop bus that connects up to eight nodes. Logically, each DSSI bus is equivalent to a small CI, including the associated logical Star Coupler. A CI storage unit and HSC is equivalent to a DSSI ISE (see Figure A­2). Storage Architecture Overview A­5 On both CI and DSSI, all nodes directly connect to each other. The DSSI bus requires electrical terminators at both ends to ensure signal integrity because it is DC­coupled (the CI bus does not require physical termina­ tion). Logically, each DSSI bus is equivalent to a small CI with its Star Coupler. The RF/TF devices on the DSSI are functionally equivalent to a combina­ tion of HSC and RA/TA devices on the CI. Like the HSC, each ISE control­ ler can communicate with multiple VAX 7000 hosts on the DSSI and order disk seeks. ISEs do not have to share an HSC like CI devices, so each addi­ tional ISE linearly increases I/O throughput and bandwidth. DSSI can be implemented in single­ or multi­host mode. In single­host, one system has access to integrated storage elements (ISEs) across the DSSI storage bus. In multi­host configurations, the systems remain functionally independent while their common DSSI storage bus, together with VMScluster software, makes ISEs available to each system, providing mul­ tiple data paths for access to ISEs. For more information: KFMSA Module Installation and User Manual DSSI Concepts B­1 Appendix B DSSI Concepts Sections in this chapter include: · DSSI Basics · Integrated Storage Elements (ISEs) · Dual­, Tri­, and Quad­Host Systems VAX 7000 This chapter gives an overview of the Digital Storage Sys­ tem Interconnect (DSSI) bus supported by the KFMSA­BA adapter. Installation instructions appear in Chapter 3. B­2 DSSI Concepts B.1 DSSI Basics Table B­1 summarizes DSSI terminology and concepts. The indi­ cated references provide more information. · VAX 7000 systems support DSSI subsystems in single­, dual­, tri­, or quad­host configurations using the KFMSA­BA adapter. · Each KFMSA­BA adapter has two buses, each of which can attach seven additional nodes (ISEs or another KFMSA­BA adapter). · ISEs can be RF disk or TF tape drives. · RF ISEs are housed in disk PIUs in the system or expander cabinets. · TF85 ISEs are housed in the system cabinet.

B­4 DSSI Concepts B.2 Integrated Storage Elements (ISEs) Of the eight nodes available between any two terminators on a DSSI bus, a maximum of three nodes can be KFMSA­BA adapters, the rest ISEs. ISEs are RF disks and TF tapes that populate up to seven nodes on any DSSI bus. Each ISE has a controller and a disk or tape drive. Figure B­1 ISEs for the DSSI Storage Bus DSSI Concepts B­5 Each DSSI bus has a limit of eight physical addresses: one, two, or three adapters (KFMSA­BAs) and from one to seven ISEs (RF disks or TF tapes). Each ISE has a controller in the physical (tape or disk) drive which uses the mass storage protocol (MSCP) or tape MSCP. Each connection has an initiator and a target node. Any node on the bus can act as either an initiator or a target. The actual communications are limited to two nodes at a time. Arbitration mechanisms accommodate mul­ tiple dialogues on the DSSI bus. The ISE receives a complete packet of information requesting a task to be done. The controller interprets the packet and performs the task without any further communication from other DSSI nodes. The controller has a command queue and handles access requests. It can start and monitor an internal diagnostic, and provide status of the storage element. B­6 DSSI Concepts B.3 Dual­, Tri­, and Quad­Host Systems The DSSI can connect dual­host, tri­host, and quad­host systems and ISEs. Figure B­2 Examples of Dual­Host Configurations DSSI Concepts B­7 Figure B­2 shows a dual­host configuration with one KFMSA in each sys­ tem. For DSSI VMSclusters, each system can have up to six KFMSA­BA adapters. The ISEs can be in either the system cabinet or the expander cabinets. Dual­, tri­, and quad­host systems must have: · Two or more VAX 7000 or other VAX systems · Software licenses of · DSSI adapters (KFMSA­BA adapters for VAX 7000 systems) · Ethernet hardware · No more than six ISEs on each DSSI bus First System Additional Systems OpenVMS OpenVMS1 VMScluster VMScluster DECnet full­function DECnet end­node 1On any cluster, the maximum difference in OpenVMS revision levels between any two systems cannot be greater than one.
