Re: VA7100 amber light flashing
I agree with you that but they are flashing all the time during VA normal functioning.
Attached file is a rar file you can open it with Winrar

Re: VA7100 amber light flashing
All disks blinking amber is very often related to an array controller problem.
How about an "armdsp -a ..."?
BTW, the firmware is a bit too old.
HP22 is latest, you have HP18.
Hope this helps!

Torsten.

Re: VA7100 amber light flashing
With armdsp ├в a, all things are ok there is no problem, please see attached file.
Yes we have HP18 for VA and HP05 for disks. If it is a firmeware problem why they are blinking despite that there was no update for any RFU or software?

Re: VA7100 amber light flashing
Do you have 2 controllers installed?
If you have, C2 is dead - hence the lights.
Your firmware indicates a single controller as a problem.
Newer firmware can also handle single controller configurations.
Hope this helps!

Torsten.

Re: VA7100 amber light flashing
From the start we have only one controller installed. Would yhis cause a problem for the HP18 firmware ?
