Online ROM Flash Component for Windows - Smart Array P400 and P400i (multi-part download) 6.86

The firmware versions of the disks are the very latest and are not affected by the advisories, according to HP website.

I am waiting to do the offline diagnostics, it will be a few days at least becuase I am not onsite everyday + i have to arrange downtime.

Attached is the ADU report.

[hongman]

Already running 6.86 for Array Controller - please trust me, everything is as up to date as it can be!

[marcus1234]

ok you want to post survey and adu report
by the way the is no tape device on the same controller is there..?

[marcus1234]

ok Hongman
from what i read in report i reckon
take out battery restart server,it may moan its loosing a bit of data caught in the battery but proced

is all okay now if so shutdown reinsert battery all should be ok as the rebuild is not quite finished thats why it mentions parity qued

Consolidated Error Report:
Controller: Smart Array P400i in slot 0
Device: Logical Drive 1
....................
Logical Drive 1 Warning Background parity initialization is currently queued or in progress on this logical drive. If background parity initialization is queued, it will start when I/O is performed on the drive. When background parity initialization completes, the performance of the logical drive will improve.

Cache Failure Failed From Cache Data Loss Status

also expect it to be slow while rebuilding , circa 15 mins per gig if it is not being use d, much slower if it is being used ,


best to put rebuild priority high in acu when not in production hours..
