DL380G6 / Centos5.5: still surface scanning after 2 months?
However, our new DL380 G6 still keeps on scanning after two months! Furthermore, changing the surface scan delay via hpacucli seems to have no effect at all.
The config:
DL380 G6 with latest firmware
4 x 146G Raid5 + 1 hotspare
onboard P410i with 512MB FWBC
Centos 5.5 (x86_64) with the standard cciss-driver (3.6.20-RH4)
I already tried to install the latest cpq_cciss-3.6.24-5.rhel5.x86_64.rpm
but it refuses to install because the kernel (2.6.18-194.11.1.el5) isn't supported yet.
Any help appreciated...
Harald

Re: DL380G6 / Centos5.5: still surface scanning after 2 months?
(and perhaps after a certain amount of time).
Furthermore, you could see the surface scan delay working, for example 3 seconds pause before the scan continued.
In contrast, the green drive-activity leds on the DL380 are constantly on, except when there is some I/O-activity. There is _no_ visible surface scan delay, regardless what has been configured in the controller settings (0s, 3s, 15s, whatever, makes no difference).
Was that behaviour changed with newer SmartArray-controllers?
What is the "surface scan delay" parameter still good for, if it's ignored?

Re: DL380G6 / Centos5.5: still surface scanning after 2 months?
From the Smart Array configuration guide.
"The setting for the surface scan delay determines the time interval for which a controller must be inactive
before a surface scan analysis is started on the physical drives that are connected to it.
Surface scan analysis is an automatic background process that ensures that you can recover data if a
drive failure occurs. The scanning process checks physical drives in fault-tolerant logical drives for bad
sectors, and in RAID 5 or RAID 6 (ADG) configurations, it also verifies the consistency of parity data."
