HSZ50 - Unit has lost data

Hello all,

we had a power outage last week which resulted in one dead disk within one raidset of our RaidArray 450.

The disk in question has not been taken into the failedset by the controller. The unit containig the raid with the defective disk has the "Unit has lost data" state.

A try to clear the lost data flag via:

CLEAR_ERRORS D300 LOST_DATA is returning

Error 7120: CLEAR LOST_DATA attempt failed on D300.

The replacement policy of the raidset is BEST_FIT and there is an appropriate disk in the spareset available.

What can I do to clear the lost_data flag?

Re: HSZ50 - Unit has lost data

Hello Andreas,
the poweroutage was probably to long for your batteries and you may have "invalid cache". This must be fixed first before you start to clear the lost_data on the lun. Veryfy this by show this and show other.
Good luck

Re: HSZ50 - Unit has lost data

Hello Martin

the cache error flag has been cleared already, two (from three) raidsets are up and running.

Only the third has the lost data flag still set, which I'm not able to reset.

Send the following output
HSZ50>show this_controller
HSZ50>show other_controller
HSZ50>show unit DXXX

Where DXXX is the affected unit number.

HSZ50> Show raidset XYZ

where XYZ is the name of the affected raidset.

Re: HSZ50 - Unit has lost data

Hi,

You could try clearing the unflushed data on the controller, that may then allow you to clear the error on the D300 unit.

CLEAR_ERRORS THIS_CONTROLLER INVALID_CACHE DESTROY_UNFLUSHED_DATA

Hope this helps,

Regards,

Rob

Re: HSZ50 - Unit has lost data


You left with only one option, use data recovery software and services to get back your lost data.Kernel for windows is the utility to get back lost data due to various physical and logical reasons

Visit
http://www.nucleustechnologies.com/FAT-NTFS-Data-Recovery.html
to download the software and recover your data..

Re: HSZ50 - Unit has lost data


---------------------------------------------

Hello. I am in a similar situation. However, I do not need to recover any lost data. I just need to re-initialize and wipe the drive. However no commands work, and I am unable to free up any of the spindles.

Is there any way to wipe this RAID array without wiping the whole controller?

I have run the command "clear_errors other_controller invalid_cache destroy_unflushed_data" many many times but the results do not seem to change.
