Wei Kee_1 — Tue, 21 Dec 2010 17:05:11 GMT

Hi All,

We have a MS2012 with one controller only. After the controller module is replace. We have a "vdisk offline" error, and the controller can't recognized the vdisk.

Event Code: 3
Event Serial number: A200
Message: Vdisk Offline: StorPool1. SN....

How can I recover the VDISK.

We send the SAN box to HP service center, and they did the diagnose and replace the h/w.

This scares me. HP said I could upgrade my MSA 2012fc to a P2000 by replacing the two controllers. I hope I don't lose the Vdisks. It took 4 days to create them.
