hard drive failure - part II

Hi,

We recently had a hard drive failure on one of our HPUX 4440 servers.

Can anyone shed some light on how to find out the type and info of the failed hard drive for ordering purposes?

N/A 1 0 N/A N/A FAILED
external 1 1 DISK 72.8 GB OK
external 1 7 PROCESSOR
external 3 0 DISK 72.8 GB OK
external 3 1 DISK 72.8 GB OK
external 3 2 DISK 72.8 GB SPARE (activated)

Participating Physical Disk(s)...... Ch:ID
1: 0 <-- NOT RESPONDING
1: 1
3: 0
3: 1

Participating Spare Disk(s)......... Ch:ID
3: 2 <-- activated for 1:0

Rgds,

the above dosen't provide much info:-

the following would tell the size & part number of the failed disk if it lists in ioscan:-

#ioscan -fnC disk
#echo "map selall info;wait infolog" | cstm

hi,

it looks like your using a smart arary card or an MSA box?

difficult to know when guessing.

but try this

#ioscan -kfnd ciss

to find out the device file, (like ciss3 ciss4) then use saconfig and sautil

#sautil /dev/ciss4 -s

#saconfig /dev/ciss4

where ciss4 is your dev file number from ioscan

hi,

if the previous outputs do not show you more information, then its a case of going to the disk and pulling it out and looking at it.

the disk will have a red led on it, probably with a cross through it. all the good disks will be green

Some useful information is already in your thread part I:

the other disks are

Disk Capacity.................................... 72.8 GB
Device Status.................................... OK
Device Vendor ID................................. COMPAQ
Device Product ID................................ BF07288285
SCSI Transfer Rate (actual)...................... Ultra-160

Device Product ID................................ BF07289BC4

Device Product ID................................ BF07289BC4
...

So now you need to go to http://partsurfer.hp.com and look up spare drives for a MSA30.
