Vdisk scrubbing on MSA P2000 G3 - the same progress = 73% since 20 hours

[arturdebski]

Hi all
We have strange behavior of MSA P2000 FC - 24disks SAS 900GB
Rcently i upgraded firmware to TS252P001  and all disks to HPD8 (most of them:EG0900FBLSK)

After some troubles with firmware update of disks i decided to stop both storage controllers
after command:
shutdown both
storage controller B was disabled
and i got such info: that controller A is in inapropriate state do be disabled

after show vdisks i got this info: (see attachement)
# show vdisks

Success: Command completed successfully. (2016-06-17 09:45:46)

...and this VRSC job is in the same 73% progress since 20 hours

after command:
end scrub vdisk vd01  i got nothing

what can I do i such situation?
Should I simply unplug power cables?

Thanks in advance
best regards

Hello,

I do not recommend to unplug the power cables and perform an unclean shutdown.

The VRSC (Vdisk scrub) job runs at medium priority by default unless priorities have been changed. If the array is very busy it may take longer than normal.

You will find more information about Vdisk scrub jobs(VRSC) in this advisory below:

Alternatively you may try to run the end scrub command again and see if the Vdisk Scrub job gets end .

Best Regards,

Raj
