Re: C7000, BL460c G6, MDS600, P700m
You put the servers (Blades) in a box along with some of the infrastructure.
I will recommend you to spent a day or 2 on studing the MDS and the SAS switches.
If you have got experience on zoning SAN, it will be easy to understand.
Blade / Enclosure / Infra structure.
I will recommend that you get every thing upgraded to comply with FW releases set 2010.10 (FW DVD 9.20)
http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/blades/components/c-class.html#tab3_content
Choose the compatbility tap, and scroll down.
Upgrade the SAS switces and the MDS incl disks to latest FW.
Check that the cabling is correct.
Once thats all ok.
FW
Cabling.
reseat the drives.
Check the drives, using insight diagnostics:
Boot on a smart start cd, choose maintenance tab, then open insight diagnostics.
If you still got suspect a bad drawer:
Move the drives to new posistions, even to the other drawer. Create a new zone and try again.
It could be a bad source disk, read errors on one of the source disks will caurse the rebuild to fail.
If you have the System Management Homepage installed, that will make life easier.
From the SMH you can check the statisics of all the drives.
It could also be the drawer, just like on a traditional server. But it is not easy to replace, I have done that. And you need to power down the entire MDS.
I will try to re-find the links for the documentation that i read.
