EVA4000 disk enclosure PSU failure

Good morning,

We have a customer who has a problem with his EVA. A PSU failure on a disk enclosure is failed intermittently and then it comes online again after a few minutes.

I will have to go to replace the PSU today but I don't know which one is failing :-)

The customer has 4 disk enclosures (2C4D)...

Attached please find the log file. I could decipher which disk enclosure is giving problems from it (disk enclosure 1) but I do not know which PSU.

Any help will be greatly appreciated with points :-)

Re: EVA4000 disk enclosure PSU failure

It's not going to be clear from that.. the alarm code is for enclosure 2, not 1:

** START UNION: ( alarm_error_code - Alarm code ) **
value - As longword: 33686339 [0x02020343]

That decodes to:

ec - Error code: 3 [0x03]
en - Element number: 2 [0x02]
et - Element type code: 2 [0x02]

"Pwr Supply load balance error; replace the power supply now". On enclosure 2.

Can you export the events with "get log file" and attach them compressed here?

Re: EVA4000 disk enclosure PSU failure

Much better this way, we have:

A drive enclosure power supply component has failed. Enclosure: 1.; Affected power supply: 2.;

on
2010-feb-04 02:32:11
2010-feb-05 16:02:58
2010-feb-05 16:18:43
2010-feb-05 16:21:43

Power supply 2 is the left one, looking at the enclosure from behind.

By the way, firmware 6000 is out of support since December 31, 2007. You should plan an update to 6220.

Re: EVA4000 disk enclosure PSU failure

Hello again, I have searched in the service manual that PSU 2 is on the right looking from behind, not on the left.

Can you confirm that I have to replace PSU 2 on the right or on the left?

Thanks,
Vince

Re: EVA4000 disk enclosure PSU failure

It is the other left side ;-)

I've looked into the HW config guide and the PS/blower replacement guide from 2005/2006 and both agree that PS2 is on the right side when looking at he enclosure's rear.

Re: EVA4000 disk enclosure PSU failure

Sheesh, you're right, PS1 is left and PS2 is right. I had in my mind that the order was the opposite of the new M6412 enclosures, and the same as I/O modules (A is right, B is left), but no, power supplies are reversed...

Re: EVA4000 disk enclosure PSU failure

But on that enclosure PS2 is on the right side, too - (all objects on it count from top-to-bottom, then left-to-right if you directly look at them).
