Old Virtual Array Disk Misplaced
Hi,
We have an old Virtual Array 7410 and one of the disks is showing as a Misplaced Drive.
JA0/D3.
I have checked this disk physically and there are no errors.
Checking the disk through Storage Works and VirtualRAID state is showing this drive as NOT INCLUDED and not part of Redundancy Group 1 or 2 but 65536.
The disk is showing as good when I run an armdsp -a on the the VA.
Any idea what might have happened here and how to add it back into the VirtualRAID?
Regards,
Chad
P.S. this thread has been moved from HP StoreVirtual / HP LeftHand Storage to Disk > Disk Array - HP forums moderator

Re: Old Virtual Array Disk Misplaced
Maybe the disk was used in another array before, hence it is not included automatically.
Try
armcfg -a ...
to include disk. AFAIR this should help.
Example:
armcfg -D JA2/D5 -a myArray
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: Old Virtual Array Disk Misplaced
Hi guys,
Sorry for slow response, this thread got moved and for a long time I couldnt reply back.
See the attachment output from armdsp -a
I have connected to HP StorageWorks Command View SDM and can see the option also to include the disk in here using the GUI but I'm not really sure if this will cause problems, I guess it wont as it was definitely part of the array before.
The physical disk hasnt been replaced and is possibly an original from when this array was put in a long time ago.
Regards,
Chad
