Proliant BL460C G8 SSD Hard Disk Degraded
Hi
on my Proliant BL460C G8 (Vmware 5.5) i have 2 SSD and one is failed visually (but not in OA or vcenter ...) and i see the "Do no remove light" is white ... while it's a RAID10 and marked as degraded
What does it mean ?

Re: Proliant BL460C G8 SSD Hard Disk Degraded
Hi,
I have something similar with my server,
i think it means that the disk will be dead shortly, don't remove this disk until it's completly non fonctionnal.

Re: Proliant BL460C G8 SSD Hard Disk Degraded
On a VMware vSphere 5.5 based host you can use, if already installed, the hpssacli CLI utility to check the status of your disks array(s).
Note that the hpssacli VIB - exactly the hpssacli-2.60.18.0-5.5.0.1391871, which is the HPE Smart Storage Administrator CLI for ESXi - should be found on the latest HP ESXi Utilities Offline Bundle for VMware vSphere 2.6 (see here).
Otherwise you should go Offline (booting from an USB stick or DVD) to check what's happening of your Array through offline tools (see here for VMware vSphere based host) like:
- HPE ProLiant Offline Array Configuration Utility (HPE ACU)
- HPE ProLiant Offline Smart Storage Administrator (HPE SSA)

Re: Proliant BL460C G8 SSD Hard Disk Degraded
hi
thanks for your update .. that's waht i think since there is no alert on vmware or Onboard administrator so only "the proliant titself is aware of the error" ... maybe :)
the hpssacli but it need a reboot of the esx and for me the change of a hard drive do not have to include a restart, it can be done without interruption, but i thnik i will not have choice to be sure :)

Re: Proliant BL460C G8 SSD Hard Disk Degraded
Not knowing if the RAID1 array is already in a degraded state (so one SSD is good, the other one is really gone bad yet) a thing is pretty sure...the RAID1 array will be able to survive to removal of just one (bad) disk of two, leaving your system running from the good remainig one...this means that you should be then able to hot-remove the faulty (or pre-faulty) disk in predictive failure state (without shutting down the entire server) to replace it with one identical brand new. Array rebuilt should start automatically once the brand new identical SSD is hot-plugged in.
The hpssacli will permit to manage all the procedure via CLI from the running VMware host's CLI.
See, as example, here (focus is on the hpssacli commands, not on the fact that the underlying OS is Linux - instead of VMware ESXi - in that particular thread). Other useful commands can be found here.

Re: Proliant BL460C G8 SSD Hard Disk Degraded
Yes i know that RAID1 allow to remove safely one drive, i do it quite offen but in this case there is the "do not remove" signal on the disk .. that's the problem :)
