RAID 1+0 in MSA1500

Hi,

We have a MSA1500 with 3 RAID 5 and one RAID 1+0 logical drives. Yesterday we had some kind of electrical power glitch that affected it; drives remained mounted but any access was impossible (I/O error).

We rebooted the node and rebooted MSA1500. Everything seems OK (all DSA20 disks are green as the MSA LEDs).

RAID 5 ones work fine. RAID 1+0 can be mounted and we are able to see the former directories but we have no info in them.

I append the ADU output where some errors can be seen.

Are those errors only logic? I mean Â¿Can it be solved just recreating the volumen/logical drive?

Is there a way to recover the stored information?

Thanks in advance.

All logical drives appear in OK status, no failures. No errors on disks for years.

The only hardware issue are the batteries on the MSA20:

Array accelerator status:
Temporarily disabled
Batteries are not fully charged
Battery pack 1 not fully charged
Battery pack 2 not fully charged

The fact that you can mount the LUN and see directories means that there's a filesystem on it. There's no way any hardware failure can alter a LUN in a way that it only deletes files and not directories.

I don't know what filesystem is being used on that LUN, and the MSA1500 does not know either and does not care. Try with a file recovery utility because probably the files alre already on the disks, but filesystem has been corrupted.
