After doing isolations, we finally had it working again by powering off the whole rack ( controllers,disk enclosure,loop switch and the SMA ).What could have caused the problem?The client normally do a snapclone and deletes the used virtual disk afterwards.What can we do to avoid such cases?
Please kindly assists me on this one as our client is asking for a report.Thank you for the kindest response.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: EVA5000 mult disk failure message
HP should anaylse the controller logs to determine exactly what happened.
I'll take a guess that a failed or failing disk was creating so many loop errors that access to all of the disks on a particular shelf was lost, causing the EVA to shutdown...
Cheers,
Rob

Re: EVA5000 mult disk failure message
In fact, with the "bad" disk in my case there was no red failed light either - so only after diagnosing the output directly from the back of the controllers was HP able to pin point what disk was causing the issue.
Once that disk was then removed, everything was then OK.
What VCS version is running?

Re: EVA5000 mult disk failure message
log a call at the HP Support Center for log analysis. Maybe a disk hast blocked loops or anything else.
Best regards,
Patrick

SolutionBut sometimes this fails, and a disk can cause so many problems on both loops that the controllers start losing communication with several disks and mark them as failed.
This can lead to the disk group to become inoperative.
The way out of there is to look at the logs and try to see which disk is causing the problems, remove it and then unbypass the other disks that are not really failed.
