VA7410 - problem witha adding a new disks

[Mario_66]

Hi Rafal,

I am pretty sure that A000 does not support 73GB disks. Not 100% sure, but very close to that.

I will check that.

I know that I am boring, but consider FW upgrade ASAP.

Regards,
Mario.

Heh, I was wrong.

A000 supports disks with size less then 76GB.

Try this command and send output:

armdiag -I -if array_logs

BR,
Mario.

Hello again,

It stops after /sbin/vgdisplay -v
I think there is a problem with secure path.
OS can't execute that command.

Maybe some others sugestions?

With regards,

Command armdiaf is finished with errors, but we got something.

Check attachment

Hi Rafal,

I have taken a short look into the logs.

I have found that one disk JA0/D9 on array_2 was successfully added to the array (29/03/05). After that you tried to insert disk JA0/D10 and it failed (30/03/05). Is this correct?

If this is true, I would suspect that I have a problem with disk drives.

I assume that you have only these two VAs. Do you use both of them in production? Is there a chance that you can test your drives one by one in some other VA or in one which is not in production?

BR,
Mario.
