According to your other thread I assume this is a new setup. If this is the case and you have no data on the array, just format it and the errors will go away. Is there only one controller in the box?

If you dont care about your data, please reset one controller and look at vgfdsp.

Open the screw at your one controller and detach the hook. wait a few minutes after that reattach the hook.

Thanks

when you format VA7100, you not replace anything? please upgrade the firmware for controller and the disk.

then new firmware for controller is HP22.
battery firmware : Version 4.3

For disk depend on your string ID for each disk

ex; ST318453FC HP05

thanks
