MSA1000 Active/Active 7.00 Controller offline after enable write cache

Casey Rayman — Tue, 09 Oct 2007 19:31:00 GMT

If I leave cache set to 100% read 0% write our MSA runs without any noticeable problems for weeks(I only did the upgrade 6 weeks ago). If I change the cache to 90% read/10% write problems start. Within a day there will be a path failover and (so far) the Right controller will "reboot". The only way I have found to restore the controller connection is a disable/remove/re-insert(this may be by design).

Has anyone ever heard of this before? Could it be a cache module problem even though everything seems fine with 100% read cache?

Casey, Can you provide a show tech_support from the MSA cli.

My apologies, I thought I attached this log as a text file to the initial post. This was taken right after re-inserting the controller after an outage.

MSA1000 is booting up. Please wait ...

Hi Branislav, the firmware for the MSA1000 now is the same than for the MSA1500. If you look at the support_show above, it says: Firmware Revision: 7.00b1500
Search in hp.com for downloads for the MSA1500.

Thanks.

I used this firmware, but I was not sure if was the right one.
