Monitor event notification mail message

Hello,

 

I received a mail message on my HP-UX B.10.20 (see below).

Please let me know what exactly does it say? and what should I do in order to solve the issue.

/storage/events/disks/default/10_0_15_1.6.0 is >= 3.
Its current value is CRITICAL(5).

 

Event data from monitor:

Severity : CRITICAL

Disk at hardware path 10/0/15/1.6.0 : Media failure

Associated OS error log entry id(s):
     0x4f0d812b00000000

Latest information on this event:
     http://docs.hp.com/hpux/content/hardware/ems/scsi.htm#100037

Description of Error:

     The device was unsuccessful in reading or writing data for the current I/O
     request due to an error on the medium. The data could not be recovered.

Probable Cause / Recommended Action:

     Reformatting the medium may fix the problem.

     Alternatively, the medium in the device is flawed. If the medium is
     removable, replace the medium with a fresh one.

     Alternatively, if the medium is not removable, the device has experienced
     a hardware failure. Repair or replace the device, as necessary.

Thanks for the reply.

I have a spear DISK how can I replace the bad disk with it? I might need the information inside.

Re: Monitor event notification mail message

Is the disk mirrored by LVM?

You need a disk with the same interface (size may be larger) for replacement.

Hope this helps!

Re: Monitor event notification mail message

No, its not mirrored by LVM.

Yes, I have the same disk interface.

Re: Monitor event notification mail message

Replace this bad disk (SCSI ID 6), restore the LVM structure and create a filesystem, finally restore your data from backup.


This may help, but it is written for newer OS releases than 10.20:

Re: Monitor event notification mail message

You'll need to get a complete backup immediately. Unfortunately, the unrecoverable disk error may cause your backup program to abort partway through the task. All you can do is to continue with additional backup runs that skip the file or directory that has the bad spot on disk. If the data is important, do not do anything more until you get a a complete set of backups.

 

Have you ever run the command make_tape_recovery (Ignite backup)? If not, your backups (tar or fbackup) will not be useable if this disk is your boot disk. When you replace the disk, there will be no way to put anything back on the disk until you install HP-UX. For this task, you need an Ignite backup, or the Core CDROM disc. Once HP-UX is running, you can restore your data on the new disk.

 

If this disk is not part of vg00, then you must un-mount the lvols that are on the bad disk, then deactivate the volume group and vgexport the vg. Replace the disk and then recreate the vg and lvol(s) and mount them.  Now you can restore the data to the mount points.
