EVA showing incorrect information

[sreekanthtm]

Hi,

My EVA is having 4 Disk groups. I have created 5 vdisk in one of the disk group.
Total capacity = 5141.28GB
Total Occupancy = 2188.53GB
Available = 884
I am surprised to see the available space?
Screen shot is attached.

What could be the reason?

Rgds,
Sreekanth.

Hello,

can you provide more informations? What type of EVA, CV Version and VCS/ XCS Code? Are only 250 GB FATA disks in the disk group or did you mix different near-online drives?

Best regards,
Patrick

Most likely a bug in the firmware. I would first try the easy things and restart CV-EVA, reboot the management server.

If that does not help, the next step is a "controller resync". Very often it is sufficient to reboot the master controller.

Be very careful if you have single-pathed servers.

I recommend that you open a call with HP for 2 reasons:

- this makes sure the problem is logged in the database (even if the problem is well known)

- talk to a specialist - maybe you can try some other things first like creating / deleting a vdisk or so.
Or the specialist wants to collect some important data from the running system that might have gone if you reboot a controller yourself.

I recently had a similar issue. I concur wholeheartedly with the recommendation to get the Support Center involved.

In my case, re-syncing the controllers resolved the problem.
