Re: MSA StorageWorks 2012fc i cant create a virtual disk

From the Monitor section of the SMU web page, click on Event Log.  Perhaps there is something being logged that will help you.

 

Otherwise you could access the storage system via CLI and manually create your vdisks and volumes.

 

Reference the help pages:

  help create vdisk

  help create volume

 

HP publishes a CLI reference guide as well.  Search for "2000 Family Modular Smart Array CLI reference guide" to find it.

Re: MSA StorageWorks 2012fc i cant create a virtual disk

It is possible that the vdisk which you are trying from the disks available has medium errors or it is about to fault or reached the threshold.

 

Check the Events for Disk detected error (Severity: Informational / Error Number: 58).

If there are multiple instances of such errors, it would be wise to proactively replace the disk.

 

If you do not find such errors in the events:

Could you please, post current firmware the controllers are on? or if you can perform following and see if it resolves your issue:

- Open a command prompt or Telnet clinet like PuTTY.

- Enter IP address of Controller A or B

- type restart mc a (It will restart the management interface of controller A)

- re-login type restart mc b  (It will restart the management interface of controller B)

 

Try to create a vdisks and check if it works out.

If not,

reboot both the storage controller one at a time and see if that helps!
