Parity Initialization Progress - CLI Created Logical Volume
Servus Community,
Yesterday we created a new logical volume in the Command Line Interface with the following command:
/opt/smartstorageadmin/ssacli/bin/ssacli ctrl slot=0 create type=ld drives=1I:1:17,1I:1:18,1I:1:19,1I:1:20,1I:1:21,1I:1:22,1I:1:23 raid=6
The volume was immediately visible in the web GUI of our ESX 6.5 and we were able to create a new data store there. This is also usable and we already install some VMDKs there.
What we don't know is the status of the Parity Initialization Progress display, which is still at 0%. For another volume, which already existed and was not created with the CLI, but in the controller BIOS, it will be displayed there: Initialization Completed:
For the new, CLI created volume we got this output:
---snip---
/opt/smartstorageadmin/ssacli/bin/ssacli ctrl slot=0 ld 2 show
Smart Array P440ar in Slot 0 (Embedded)
Array B

And for the existing, controller BIOS created Volume, we got this output:
---snip---

Smart Array P440ar in Slot 0 (Embedded)

We assume that the output 0% is incorrect, but it would be interesting what we have to do, to update it, to the current correct value...
Thx & Bye Tom

Re: Parity Initialization Progress - CLI Created Logical Volume
Hello Pronto,
Thank you for your query.
RAID 6 by design takes maximum time to initialize the parity as it is a Dual parity RAID. So in case if the HPE SSA CLI is showing
Parity Initialization Status: In Progress
Parity Initialization Progress: 0% complete
Then it means that pariy initialization is not completed.
So in order to check the exact status of the Parity initialization we will need logs from the server so that we can check background Data of the controller.
Please log a Support Ticket with HPE Technical Team, so that we can check the logs and update you the exact status.
Regards,

Re: Parity Initialization Progress - CLI Created Logical Volume
Although I am on a different OS than you what I can share is that following a drive replacement I was stuck at 0% for over 24 hours and I saw that as an anomaly. I opened a case with HPE.
Support suggested to change the surface scan analysis to HIGH and after doing that I immediately saw change from 0% to 1% until completion within 8 hours from making the change:
