EVA 6400 (HSV 400), WWNN lost

[SupportTeam]

To All,

I have EVA 6400, upon sudden power outage it lost its WWNN and the node name, all the connections are in place.

Secondly it also reports some error of the controller display as follows

herewith i have attached the logs i do see anything suspicious, howver logs cvevatrace-111130-1, cvevatrace-111130-2, cvevatrace-111130-3 possibly could help in diognostics.

Thanks

Were all disks and disk shelves "green" before powering on the controllers?

You should call Support, but I suspect you will need to power down both controllers and start over.

[SupportTeam]

In-deed every thing was functional and OK, there was a power outage, and the entire storage system went down and came up again after some time

what i did was powered off everything again

Then powered on the shelves, followed by powering on one controller at a time

 What is the impact if i re-enter the WWNN with the checksum and the storage name? do i risk loosing data

Thanks

Hi,

the termination code is this: 0403047F.

As far as I can see the capture only have cvevatrace files. These does not help me anyway. Not that I have the tools to open the files that are useful (termination event log and controller event log). So you can see the EVA in Command View? Maybe you can view the logs in there.

You should definitely open a case with HP.

I would not enter the WWN/checksum without their consent. But I suppose you may not have an option, unless HP can restore the wwn/checksum some other way. Is the EVA uninitialized?

[SupportTeam]

Greetings,

The EVA disks are all green, and has data, its just that it cannot be be discovered on CV EVA, as WWNN is zeroed out and Name is lost.

If there was a way to put the WWNN and discover it again, i could have all the VDISK available again, however i am afraid retyping the WWNN with its checksum asking to initialze the Storage.

Thanks

You should open a support call, having said that entering the WWN/CS on the front panel does not initialize the array.  The troubling part, and this is where support would come in, is that this information is stored on the drives in the array in 5 different places. 

The fact that the array could not recognize this information is what support needs to investigate.  You did have your data backed up right?

Hi,

I am having the same problem, in my case i tried to power off one Controller and work with one Controller after entering the WWN and Ckecksum, the Controller dos not retain the information that is WWN and Checksum.

[Sebastian.Koehler]

Do not enter the WWN/checksum again as this will most likely destroy your metadata. Check this issue with support if you don't want to loose data.

Sebastian
