disk fault

huongbuixuan — Tue, 15 Oct 2002 09:06:03 GMT

Hi all.
I have some problem with internal hard disk for D390 server.
I have 2 internal disks and mirrored, before, one of them was fail. (a long time when used ioscan command, the out put of this command is NO_HW for this disk, and later couldn't see faulty disk ). I replaced faulty disk by new one, and recreated mirror ( recreated mirror disk was successful ). But, after that, The new disk was fail again. When I use ioscan command, it's out put indicate NO_HW for this disk I still can use lvlnboot command, but it take long time. and when using pvdisplay for this disk, it has some PEs that have stale status. The old disk was normal when I installed it in another server ( D class )
Which problem: hard disk, cable, or slot

Hi,

Your problem is certainely a HW problem, test to change cable, scsi card,...

You can check your scsi driver version.

Hello,

If the disk works on another D-Class, then the disk is perfectly healthy. Try to install the harddisk into another slot in the troublesome D-Class and see what happens.

HTH,
Vince

Hi

Have look in your syslog.log for errors.

It looks like a SCSI interface problem - Log a hardware call.
