Introduction 1 CAUTION: See the Safety, Environmental, and Regulatory Information document for important safety information before following any procedures listed in this document. An enclosure containing physical disks accessed through EMMs (Enclosure Management Modules) is called a storage enclosure. A storage enclosure includes various hardware components, such as physical disks, EMMs, fans, and power supply units (PSUs).
• For Dell Storage MD1400 series: – The Dell Storage MD1400 and MD1400 Getting Started With Your System — Provides an overview of setting up the MD1400 series storage. – The Dell Storage MD1400 or MD1420 Enclosures Hardware Owner's Manual — Provides information about system features and describes troubleshooting the system and installing or replacing system components.
About the Dell Storage enclosure 2 This chapter describes the storage enclosure concepts, which help in configuring and operating the Dell storage enclosures. The secli uses a number of terms to describe objects on which the software performs actions. NOTE: For detailed descriptions about the enclosure features, see the Owner's Manual for the specific enclosure. Dell PowerVault MD3060e Front panel features and indicators Figure 1.

Storage enclosure command line interface 3 This guide is intended for system administrators, developers, and engineers who use the Storage Enclosure Command Line Interface (secli) and its associated commands. For more information, see the hardware and software manuals that shipped with the system. NOTE: CLI commands do not have interactive warnings for destructive commands. NOTE: Always check for updates at Dell.
path-to-target-object — is the list of arguments that defines the target object command applies to. Command syntax structure The commands for the Storage Enclosure CLI have a number of mandatory and optional input parameters. Those parameters, in turn, can also have more than one valid attribute. However, each parameter can accept only one valid value for each run. This section outlines the symbols used in the syntax of each command in this document and the syntax layout in the secli help. Table 1.
Parameter Name Description Valid Values -emm Represents target EMM WWN or EMM Index -file Represents target firmware file for updating a drive or EMM Firmware update file location and name Table 3.
Drive OS Path Description Valid for Parameter Unique path to drive provided by the OS. Valid for -d Managing your storage enclosure To keep the EMM firmware and drives up-to-date, there are specific commands you must run and procedures you must complete. There are key commands that display crucial information required for other command to be run properly. NOTE: Ensure the console window is able to fit at least 150 characters for each line to view the output properly.
Identifying EMMs To identify the attached EMMs to a specific adapter, run the following command: secli list emms -a=<(SASAddress | AdapterIndex)> For EMMs: Notate the Enclosure Slot Index and the WWN (worldwide name) columns. These values are required for neccesary command parameters.
To get information about all the drives in a specific enclosure: secli list drives -a=<(SASAddress | AdapterIndex)> -enc=<(WWN | EnclIndex)> Output For all the drives in a specific enclosure: To get information about all the drives in a drawer within an enclosure: secli list drives -a=<(SASAddress | AdapterIndex)> -enc=<(WWN | EnclIndex)> w= Output For all the drives in a drawer within an enclosure: The relevant information to record from the list drives command are the Enclosure Slot Index a
A summary of the update process is displayed to you after the command completes running. NOTE: When attempting to update multiple drives, the specified firmware file is used on all drives within the scope of the command. Drives compatible with the firmware file are updated while incompatible drives fail gracefully. NOTE: If the firmware file path contains spaces, enclose the filepath in double quotation marks (“”). For example, –file=“C:\My Files\my firmware.fwh” NOTE: Only firmware files with the.

Server Hardware Manager Monitor 5 The Server Hardware Manager (SHM) Monitor monitors the storage enclosure and informs you about state changes of its elements. The SHM Monitor presents events to you in the following ways: • Local log files on Windows • Windows Event Log SNMP All events are logged to the local logs and the Windows Event Log. However, SNMP traps are only generated for critical events. The SHM Monitor runs automatically after installation.
The SHM Monitor configuration file is located in the installation directory. The following is the default location of the configuration files. Table 30. Log File Location Operating System Log File Location Windows C:\Program Files\Dell\ServerHardwareManager\ServerHardwareManagerMonitor \SHM_Snmp.conf Although the SHM Monitor runs automatically upon installation, you must configure a trap destination in the configuration file for SNMP to function correctly.
– Drawer control module has failed • EMM is removed • Drive removed 41
The SHM ReST API 6 The Server Hardware Manager (SHM) software provides support for the Representational State Transfer (ReST) API. The ReST service is accessible from a client device and from a Web browser. The Dell storage enclosures support the following ReST operations: • Device inventory using the GET commands available in the Management Command-Line Interface • Device actions: – Updating firmware – Validating firmware – Blinking a drive – Turning off a drive Figure 6.
Table 31. Accessing the ReST service Parameter Description Host The address of the host running the ReST server. This address can be the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of the host or an IP address. Port The port number opened for ReST traffic. The default port is 8012. Program_Space The application namespace: “SEM”. Version The major working version number. Currently “1.0”. For example, the base URL http://127.0.0.1:8012/api/SEM/1.0/ is used to access the ReST server locally.
