hp p2000 g3 storage

[MALLESHCH1]

Dear Team,

We have hp p2000 g3 storage with RAID - 6 configuration (12 HDD=12 *2TB=24TB)

we got a problem ,

1). 1 HDD is failed then we replaced new HDD (11th)without any configuration means now it showing AVAIL

2).We mistakenly removed and reinserted another HDD(9th) at the same time ,after its showing LEFTOVER disk.

Here, 11th HDD showing no indication but 9th HDD is showing Ambler .

what can i do We have 24 TB data.? What troubleshoot i can do ? please suggest onthat..

>> (12 HDD=12 *2TB=24TB)

This would be RAID0, RAID6 is less:

(12 HDD=12 *2TB-2*2TB=20TB)

Select the AVAIL disk and configure it as global spare.

Select the LEFTOVER disk and do clear metadata. If needed, configure it also as global spare.

The spares now will kick in and the RAID will rebuild.

can you please explain clearly

how to do global spare from AVAIL

and LEFTOVER disk is working or not , 

if I do any data loss is happen??

My HDD s are in Good Condition or not ???

Regarding the spare:

[Torsten.]

If you pull a disk and insert it back, the data is invalid, hence LEFTOVER.

Now clear the metadata to make it available again:

GOOD but

which step i want to choose first means i want to do AVAIL to Glboal hostspare first or

doing the LEFTOVER disk to clear.

here Degraded is showing any problem for my data if i do these process???

shall i do both process immediatly or i want to maintain any time

please call to this phone number ,i didnt understand: +**personal info erased**

Now your RAID 6 is missing 2 drives.

Consider this as critical.

First make the AVAIL disk a spare.

The RAID will rebuild.

I recommend to wait until this disk is included again.

[MALLESHCH1]

thank you ,

please explain in step by step process...

how to do spare ?? how much time it takes??

after that what i do???

[Torsten.]

Just select the menu entry manage global spares, select this AVAIL disk and submit your choice.

Time required depends on system load ... etc ... and may vary.

The Storage Management Utility is the target based management tool.  You just need to web browse to the array management IP address to access it.
