Special Notes and Warnings
Disk Drive LEDs
There is no hardware support in the DS2100 for disk drive failure detection or
indication by disk drive LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes).
A failed drive cannot be
identified by an LED signal. Only disk spin-up and data access activity is indicated
by a green flashing light on a disk drive LED.
Disconnected SCSI cables
SCSI cables must not be disconnected while both server nodes are up. Cluster
failover may not occur upon a SCSI cable being disconnected at a live node. Only
disconnect a SCSI cable from a server that is powered off.
Also, do not disconnect
a SCSI cable interconnecting two DS2100 enclosures on a live cluster because
cluster failures may result from the SCSI bus not being terminated.
NetRAID-2M channels
When connecting the NetRAID-2M SCSI cables to the DS2100, only use
NetRAID-2M channel 0.
Cluster failure could result and there is a potential for
data loss from connections to channel 1 and so channel 1 connections are not
supported.
