Multiple disks failed within one magazine in 3par V400

[dennischen]

Hi everyone, 

I'm not sure how to do the servicemag when two disks have failed in one magazine. Thanks for the help.

Can I do the "servicemag start -log -pdid 60 62", then replace two physical disks, and do the "servicemag resume 1 7"?

This will fail:

servicemag start -log -pdid 60 62

but a command

servicemag start-pdid 60

and once succeeded followed by

servicemag start-pdid 62

may work, but I'm not sure.

Multiple servicemags are supported (with a minimum OS version), but I don't really know about multiple disks of a single magazine.

I would simply use the common magazine in the servicemag:

servicemag start 1 7

Then replace both PDs.

Your suggested commands would also work:  (but -log may reduce redundancy level)

servicemag start -log -pdid 60 62

servicemag resume 1 7

@Torsten.This will fail: servicemag start -log -pdid 60 62

Why do you say that?  Syntax seems valid.
