Description
This document addresses the identification of failed or failing power cooling unit (PCU) in the array via various symptoms provided.
Symptoms:
  • SSRR reports failed PCU
  • Storade reports a Device Alert on a failed PCU
  • Email
  • PCU amber fault LED lit
  • 6320 Global fault LED lit


Steps to Follow
Please validate that each troubleshooting step below is true for your environment. The steps will provide instructions or a link to a document, for validating the step and taking corrective action as necessary. The steps are ordered in the most appropriate sequence to isolate the issue and identify the proper resolution. Please do not skip a step.
1.  Validate the symptom from the symptom list above.

1a. If you received an email from the array or SSRR opened a Service Request
then go to (step 2).

1b. If you See a Device Alert, per the symptom set above,  then go to Step 5.

1c. If you noticed a fault LED on your power supply or the global fault LED is lit, then go to Step 2.

1d.  If none of the above skip to Step 8

2. Validate the ability to Log Into the 6320.

Log Into Your 6320 by going to https://<array_IP>:9443, and logging in.  See chapter 2 of the Sun StorEdge 6320 System 1.2 Reference and Service Manual for details on logging into array.  If you have trouble logging into the service processor on the 6320, Refer to Solution 249670: Troubleshooting Sun StorEdge 6320[TM] Loss Of management Access Faults

3. Validate "Overall Health Status" box in Configuration Service page immediately after logging into the 6320.

3a. If the status shows:  "Error"  Go to Step 4
3b. If the status shows:  "Ok"  Go to Step 5

4. Validate the existence of a StorADE Alarm against the PCU by logging into the Storage Automated Diagnostic Environment (StorADE) using one of the following procedures:

use the following URL:   https://system_ip_address:7443

From the "Home" window that comes up, check the "Device Health Summary" to see if there are alerts listed. To verify that an alarm is related to a PCU issue, select the "Alerts" link in the "Device Health Summary" and search for PCU alarms. Selecting the alarm link will display details about the alarm.

4a.  If there's an alarm, go to Step 5
4b.  If there's no alarm, go to Step 6
4c.  If there's no alarm AND an LED lit on the PCU or Global Fault Indicator, go to Step 5

5. Validate PCU status against a FRU Report
 
Login into StorADE, see Step 4 for details, and select the "Reports" tab. In the "Reports" window select "General Reports" and then "Fru Reports". From the "Fru Reports" window under "Select report to display or Email", select in the "Display" link in the "Detailed Fru Report" row.
  • If status is ready-enabled, and there is no fault LED on the PSU, clear the alarm, as the PSU is optimal.
  • If status is ready-enabled, and the PCU has a fault LED, check the battery state.  Reference <Document: 1019955.1> Troubleshooting Sun StorEdge[TM] 6320 Battery Faults.
  • If status is ready-disabled, check power cable, switch, and AC output. See section B.6 of the Sun StorEdge 6320 System 1.2 Reference and Service Manual for details on power cable requirements.
  • If status is fault-enabled output=fault, the PCU requires replacement due to a problem with the DC output to the array.  Collect the following and open a Service Request with Sun Microsystems to have the PCU replaced.
    * Storade alarm
    * Email (alarm from storade)
    * Cut and paste of fru report

  • If the status is fault-enabled output=fault, and the PCU has already been replaced, the battery may require replacement.  Reference <Document: 1019955.1> Troubleshooting Sun StorEdge[TM] 6320 Battery Faults.
  • Otherwise go to Step 6.
