Re: hard drive failure - part II

the above dosen't provide much info:-

the following would tell the size & part number of the failed disk if it lists in ioscan:-


#ioscan -fnC disk
#echo "map selall info;wait infolog" | cstm

Re: hard drive failure - part II

hi,

it looks like your using a smart arary card or an MSA box?

difficult to know when guessing.

but try this

#ioscan -kfnd ciss

to find out the device file, (like ciss3 ciss4) then use saconfig and sautil

#sautil /dev/ciss4 -s

#saconfig /dev/ciss4

where ciss4 is your dev file number from ioscan

Re: hard drive failure - part II

hi,

if the previous outputs do not show you more information, then its a case of going to the disk and pulling it out and looking at it.

the disk will have a red led on it, probably with a cross through it. all the good disks will be green

Re: hard drive failure - part II

Some useful information is already in your thread part I:

the other disks are

Disk Capacity.................................... 72.8 GB
Device Status.................................... OK
Device Vendor ID................................. COMPAQ
Device Product ID................................ BF07288285
SCSI Transfer Rate (actual)...................... Ultra-160


Device Product ID................................ BF07289BC4

Device Product ID................................ BF07289BC4
...



So now you need to go to http://partsurfer.hp.com and look up spare drives for a MSA30.

Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.
