I have inherited a HP system with an MSA1000 attached. Its serving a cluster of two SQL boxes and an exchange server. All was well, but no sometimes the systems lose connection to the SAN (causing the exchange and sql db's to die). Checked the status with SPMGR and it all looks good until crash. Any ideas where to start.
The MSA has a redundant controller and the servers all have redundant cards. Any help would be excellent.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: MSA 1000 Newbie
- Array controller
- SAN switch HW/FW
- HBA HW/FW/driver
- other components on the SAN (Tape library etc)
- OS/application settings
- multipathing SW and settings
So if you are not familiar with the matter I would call HP for support.
Cheers
Peter

Re: MSA 1000 Newbie
Question:
If I were to get a new san switch and just plug it in, would the 2nd switch update it (as it would be redundant like a hot swap, or would I need to flash the controller again ??
Cheers
Tim

Re: MSA 1000 Newbie
I assume the MSA1000 built in 2/8 ones.
Are these the only ones or are there some more meshed switches?
Thes two 2/8 in the MSA1000 are independent and build two seperate fabrics.
You can save the switch config to a server using WEBTOOLS and restore it to the new switch.
But I assume that just the SFP is broken and not the switch! Replace the SFP first and also inspect the FC cable!
Cheers

Re: MSA 1000 Newbie
The redundant controller has port one as showing no light (flt) . Changed the cables and put in new fiber for the port, but still the same. Lots of rebooting and no joy.
Had no idea of the SFP. (told you I was newbi :-)... Thanks for the lead on this, I have just ordered a couple and hope to have them in a few days to see if it helps get rid of the problem. Fingers crossed.

Re: MSA 1000 Newbie
Yeah, thought of that but (between you and me).. This is a good excuse to get some redundant parts. My boss does not like buying spares (he see's it like insurance).
We have them ordered and will be here in a day.
Cheers
