Faulty power cords

Check that you have correctly cabled the system. Contact IBM support for replacements if:
  • Power cables are missing or damaged.
  • Plugs are incorrect.
  • Power cables are too short.

Controller Node does not recognize the enclosure system

  1. Verify that the interface cables from the enclosure to the host computer are fitted correctly.
  2. Verify that the LEDs on all installed drive carrier modules are on (green).
  3. Verify that the drive carrier modules have been correctly installed.
  4. Check any visible SAS indicators (Controller Node HBA Module, Disk Enclosure, and IOM Control Module, if applicable).
  5. Check HBA BIOS for SAS target visibility.
  6. Verify that ClevOS has been installed correctly.
Note: If the enclosure fails initialization, see the If the enclosure does not initialize section.
