MSA1500 flashing like christmas tree but with no obvious error in logs

[Stephen Delaney]

Hi,

I have recently relocated our MSA1500 (+msa30+msa20) to our DR datacenter. Originally it was configured under windows based ACU but due to no windows based connections at our DR site I have had to configure via the CLI. Once installed, it seemed ok and the front lights acted normally but since then the MSA30 is alternating flashing between the first 6 disks and the last 8 and the MSA20 drives are just showing a constant blue light. I have ran a 'show tech_support' but nothing on there is telling me I have problems. Would someone mind having a look and let me know if I have missed something please?

All looks hail & hearty..

[Stephen Delaney]

sorted it.

I ran the 'locate bus * time=*' command and it stopped the flashing LEDS, re-ran the command a couple of times per bus to see if it wasn't a fluke and all the LEDs are back to normal..

...strange one.

[Wickedsunny]

For me too...

Good to know it works now.

Sunny
