Re: MSA30 HHD fail

There is no ACU or other GUI for hp-ux.

Have a look at

man sautil

and sainfo

Hope this helps!

Re: MSA30 HHD fail

Hi,

What controller are you using in the rp7420 ?

The MSA30 is just a disk shelf, it doesn't provide any RAID functionality...

The "INTERIM RECOVERY" message shows that things are running in a degraded state... Have you tried swapping the failed drives yet ?

Cheers,

Rob

Re: MSA30 HHD fail

Tareq,

The error shows that you have a degraded RAIDset, i.e. you have a failed drive in there. Are you able to access the data from configured LUNs?

You can find the SAUTIL help at

http://docs.hp.com/en/J6369-90072/ch04s05.html

and SACONFIG at

http://docs.hp.com/en/J6369-90040/ch05s02.html

REMEMBER !!! It can cause data lost if not used with caution, so just refrain yourself from any recovery action unless you are sure.
