This section provides tips (when available) for the most common repair procedures for the StorEdge 3310. The repair procedures are provided in the following manual:

Sun StorEdge 3000 Family FRU Installation Guide (816-7326)

Component
Tips
Battery
  • Battery FRUs, Controller FRUs and Controllers installed in Sun StorEdge 3310 SCSI Arrays may be missing a battery label showing the manufacture date of the battery (FIN I0929-1).
Controller Module
  • Sun StorEdge 3310/3510/3511 controllers must be allowed to complete the firmware cross loading process during controller replacement. (FAB 1017358.1).
  • Write performance and specifically Sequential write for Sun StorEdge 3310, 3510, 3511 Storage Array is diminishing when both controllers are installed (FIN I1150-1).
  • Monitoring SE3310 arrays using StorADE can cause performance degradation (FIN I1068-1).
  • 3310 SCSI Array were shipped to the Field with the "Controller Unique ID" set to a non-zero value. This could cause incorrect device identifiers and an incorrect MAC Address to be presented to the host system when these FRUs are installed into an array (FIN I0902-1).
  • Battery FRUs, Controller FRUs and Controllers installed in Sun StorEdge 3310 SCSI Arrays may be missing a battery label showing the manufacture date of the battery (FIN I0929-1).
  • Instructions for resolving EMI gasket issue during replacement of I/O Module FRU on Sun StorEdge 3310 SCSI Array (FIN I0937-1).
Disk Drive
  • Improved firmware for Seagate 10K.6 disk drives will reduce the incidence of unexpected outages due to a spindle motor issue (SUREFAB 1000198.1).
  • SCSI Timeout Values may be set too low resulting in intermittent timeouts due to arbitration, retries, or bad block reallocation (FIN I1058-1).
  • Seagate Cheetah 7 FC-AL and SCSI disk drives with serial numbers below 60000 are experiencing a higher than expected failure rate due to a spindle motor issue (FCO A0239-1).
Firmware
  • Sun StorEdge 3310 Arrays with firmware prior to 4.13 and CLI software prior to 2.1, and SAF-TE firmware prior to 1170, may experience downtime, drives offline, and inaccurate status reporting for components. (FIN 1000882.1).
I/O Modules
  • Instructions for resolving EMI gasket issue during replacement of I/O Module FRU on Sun StorEdge 3310 SCSI Array (FIN I0937-1).
Power Supply / Fan Module
  • Sun StorEdge 3310 SCSI Array DC Power configuration does not conform to NEBS Level 3 and FCC Class B specifications (FCO A0211-1).
  • A0239-1
