3 of our SAS drives got degraded we had to remove the drives and created a RAID 6 disk group with the available 6 drives with 2 volumes. But we are now unable to connect to these volumes through the windows server. Please request your help regarding the same.
Solved! Go to Solution.

SolutionHi,
It seems volumes are not mapped to the host server.
It's not clear whether the array model is MSA 2040 or MSA 2050.
Refer to the pages 90-93 of MSA 2040 SMU guide for information and steps to map volume to host server:
https://www.hpe.com/psnow/doc/c03792054
Refer to the pages 112-115 of MSA 2050 SMU guide for information and steps to map volume to host server:
