Re: how to configure raid5 with hot spare for MSA 30 in HP-UX server

Your data is showing 5 disks in this MSA30 - 4 in RAID5 plus 1 spare.

Disk with ID 1 is faulty, disk with IDs 0,2,3,4 are alive.

Any other failed drive?




Please pull disk with ID1 and post the

sautil/saconfig

again after this.

Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

By the way - don't forget to replace the batteries:

Battery Pack Count.................. 2
Battery Status (pack #1)............ FAILED
Battery Status (pack #2)............ FAILED



You are working without write cache!

Hope this helps!

The battries are directly mounted on the smartarray controller card.

Get them replaced!



Disk 3 looks good in your logs.



However, replace all the bad disks and post the

saconfig/sautil

after you inserted the new drives.



Even if the drive is still failed, it is possible to activate it again (with no valid data), create a new file system on the RAID and restore your backup.

Hope this helps!

Re: how to configure raid5 with hot spare for MSA 30 in HP-UX server

After inserting the new drive, do



# sautil /dev/ciss4 accept _media _xchg 0



this should toggle the logical drive 0 online again.


After this, check again with sautil/saconfig.


You should now see the device CLAIMED in ioscan again.

Hope this helps!

Torsten.
