OmniCube CN-Series Hardware Installation and Maintenance Guide

Preface

This document introduces the CN-Series system, describes the hardware specifications and requirements,

and provides instructions about installing and maintaining the hardware.

Overview of the CN-Series system

The foundation of the SimpliVity architecture is two or more high-performance and highly-available

CN-Series systems. After installing the hardware in a rack and connecting power and network cables, you

can create a datacenter within vCenter™ Server and configure the OmniCubeTM systems into an OmniCube

Global Federation.

Each CN-Series system (configured as an OmniCube) provides computing, storage, networking, and other

resources to the virtual machines (VMs) in the Federation. As your capacity and performance needs

increase, you can add more OmniCube systems for easy, on-demand scalability, with no disruption to users.

This guide applies to the following CN-Series models:

• CN-2000

• CN-2200

• CN-3000

• CN-5000

See the OmniCube Release Notes for configuration and usage constraints.

Audience

The intended audience for this document includes individuals who want to learn more about the CN-Series

system hardware, and individuals who are responsible for installing and maintaining the hardware.

To perform the tasks described in this document, you should know:

• How to install server hardware in a rack.

• The power configuration in the installation location.

• The network configuration in the installation location.

• The cooling capacity of the installation location.

Organization

This document is organized as follows:

•Introduction to the CN-Series Hardware on page 8, provides information about the CN-Series system,

including the technical and environmental specifications.

•Installing the CN-Series System on page 18, describes the supported network configurations, how to

install a CN-Series system in a rack, and how to connect power and network cables for a minimum

two-OmniCube Federation.

•Basic Maintenance and Troubleshooting on page 38, describes some basic maintenance tasks, includ-

ing shutting down a CN-Series system and monitoring the CN-Series system for problems.

•Installing and Using the Rail Kit on page 50, describes in more detail how to install the enclosure in a

rack.

Technical Support and Customer Service

Support services from SimpliVity are available to answer your questions about the CN-Series system.

SimpliVity provides online and telephone-based support services. Availability varies by country and product,

and some services might not be available in your area.

Make sure you have the CN-Series system serial number, which is recorded on the Service Tag (a pull out

card) located:

• CN-2000, CN-2200, and CN-3000—Under drive 2 on the front panel.

• CN-5000—Above drives 3 & 4 on the front panel.

or, visit the SimpliVity Web site www.SimpliVity.com/support

In addition, SimpliVity recommends that you configure Phone Home support to automatically notify support

about significant events.

OmniCube CN-Series Hardware Installation and Maintenance Guide Preface

1 - Introduction to the CN-Series Hardware

This section contains information about the CN-Series system hardware components and describes the

system specifications.

CN-Series Hardware Components

The minimum OmniCube Global Federation configuration consists of a pair of high-performance and highly-

available CN-Series system. After you install the hardware, you can create a Federation within vCenter

Server and configure each CN-Series system as a Federation OmniCube. See the OmniCube Release Notes

for information about configuration limits.

Each OmniCube provides computing, storage, and other resources to the virtual machines (VMs) in the

Federation. When you need more capacity or performance, you can add more OmniCube systems to the

Federation, with no disruption to users.

Table-1 describes the components of the 2U CN-Series system models.

Push the system identification button on the front panel or the back panel. The

system identification buttons on the front panel and the back panel flash blue until

you push one of the buttons again.

4 Retention latches Lock the CN-Series system enclosure in the rack, push to slide the enclosure out.

5 USB connector USB 2.0-compliant connector. Enables you to connect a USB device such as a

keyboard as part of a KVM, for local administration. You can also insert a flash drive

when upgrading system software.

6 Video input Enables you to connect a monitor as part of a KVM for local administration.

7 Storage 3.5" disk drives with power (top) and activity (bottom) LED indicators. Labels

indicate the type (SAS/SATA) and capacity of each drive. For rotational drives, the

rotation speed (rpm) is indicated. The CN-2000 and CN-3000 have 12 drives. The

CN-2200 has 10 drives.

For the CN-2000 or CN-3000, the drives are numbered from 0 to 11, top to bottom,

and left to right. Drives 0 to 3 are SSDs and drives 4 to 11 are HDDs.

For the CN-2200, the drives are numbered from 0 to 9, top to bottom, and left to

right. Drives 0 and 1 are SSDs and drives 2 to 9 are HDDs. Drives 10 and 11 are

empty.

If you pull the CN-Series system enclosure from the rack, the drive numbering

scheme is described on a label attached to the top of the enclosure. See Identifying

Drive Problems on page 39 for drive LED details.

8 Service tab (pull-

out)

Provides identification information that might be required during a technical support

session. See Technical Support and Customer Service on page 7.
