missing drive on va7400

vladimir_1 — Wed, 09 Oct 2002 09:34:12 GMT

SDM shows yellow warning icon and says the array has missing drive. But in graphical view (as well as by LEDs) all drives (and other FRUs) are green.

Any guess?
Thanks

Hi,

Check with armdsp -d if you have all disk in state INCLUDED.
If not you should replace the defective disk. If all are Included look look at the array logs for any other error with:
armlog -e
or
logprn -a

If you have any error call HP support and send them the logs for analyse.

Regards

Silvino

if you run #armdsp -a "alias"
at the end you should see the error message. it contains the location of the failed/missing disk. run also what Silvino said and call HP.

good luck,

Ricardo

armdsp -a just said there is a missing drive. But! The problem is solved by runing armformat -f.
