EMM Module Miswire

What Caused the Problem?

Two EMM modules in the same expansion enclosure are connected to the same Fibre Channel loop. The Recovery Guru Details area provides specific information you will need as you follow the recovery steps.

 Caution: Possible loss of data accessibility. It is very important that you resolve this miswire problem along with any other miswire problem that is reported in the Summary Area before attempting to resolve any other problem that is being reported in the Summary Area.  Resolving non-miswire problems with miswire problems still present can lead to a loss of data accessibility.

 Caution: Risk of Data Loss. It is highly recommended that you suspend all I/O before performing this procedure. Removing cables from a working storage array can cause data loss. If you are not familiar with your cabling configuration, contact your technical support representative.

Important Note

When two EMM modules in the same expansion enclosure are connected to the same Fibre Channel loop, a level of redundancy is lost and the I/O performance for this expansion enclosure will be reduced.

 Caution: Risk of Data Loss. It is highly recommended that you suspend all I/O before performing this procedure. Removing cables from a working storage array can cause data loss. If you are not familiar with your cabling configuration, contact your technical support representative.

Recovery Steps

1 Use the information provided in the Recovery Guru Details area to determine which expansion enclosure's EMM modules are connected to the same Fibre Channel loop. The following diagrams show common miswire configurations:

2 Reconnect the cables so that the EMM modules are on different Fibre Channel loops. Use the interface cable routing examples in the Hardware Cabling Guide as a reference.
3 Click the Recheck button to rerun the Recovery Guru. The failure should no longer appear in the Summary area. If the failure appears again, contact your technical support representative.
