MSA1500

Greetings,

My company currently uses a MSA1500 controller, with a MSA 20 (16 bay SATA). It's all configured as a RAID 6...

Anyway, over my holidays one of the drives went offline. This, for some reason, caused the entire array to stop responding. After rebooting the array, things were back to normal. This shouldn't really be happening, a single drive failure when you have 8 drives mirrored to the other 8...

Any thoughts, suggestions?

Thanks

Colin,

You running the latest firmware revisions ?

I know there have been issues with SATA in the past, which have been improved upon in recent releases.

Just so you know, you are not alone. Something very similar just happened to us and we are at the latest firmware on the MSA 1500 and the MSA20's. Hopefully the new firmware will be out soon and take care of this.
