Command View EVA blank screen

Hello,

just wanted to erase our Eva 4400, but after successfull login in Command View there is only a blank screen visible.

Has anybody an idea to make the content visible? It doesn't matter which browser or whether I use localhost or remote.

Is there another way to erase the data on the system? We only want to destroy them before scrapping of the hardware.

Cannot move disks from EVA4400 to EVA6400: "Objects in your system are in use"

$

Hi,

I would like to move ungrouped and removed disks from an EVA4400 to a disk group within an EVA6400. However, when trying to add the disk, Command View shows the following error message:

"Objects in your system are in use, and their state prevents the operation you wish to perform"

Both EVAs are running the same XCS Version (11001100) and are managed by the same Command View Server (10.2). The disks I am trying to move are the same that are currently member of the Disk Group in the EVA6400.

Do I have to wipe the disks in a special way before I can move them to another EVA?

Thanks,

Problem at P6500 : system not booting up

Dears 

After un expected power shutdown P6500 Not booting

 

You storage system contain only one quorum "Meta data" to protect the integrity for your system your controllers will normally only boot with redundant quorum drive.

You should replace inoperative or missing quorum drive before continuity  

if you feel meta data on your single meta disk can be trusted  you may

Allow your system to restart without quorum redundancy

 

Please check attached file

 

 

 

MSA1000 SAN : Volume Failed, disks show as REPLACEMENT when they weren't replaced

$

Hi all,

I hope somebody can help.

We have an old MSA1000 SAN connected to two disk arrays that went quite wonky after being shutdown and moved for the first time in many, many years.

We have all volumes back up, bar one - one that we really want back up!

 

Output from SHOW UNIT on the CLI console is as follows:

Unit 11:
In PDLA mode, Unit 11 is Lun 12; In VSA mode, Unit 11 is Lun 11.
Unit Identifier   :
Device Identifier : 600508B3-0093A0E0-AB3578A1-887E0021
Preferred Path    : Controller 1 (this controller)
Cache Status      : Enabled
Max Boot Partition: Disabled
Volume Status     : VOLUME FAILED
Parity Init Status: Complete
4 Data Disk(s) used by lun 11:
   Disk207: Box 2, Bay 07, (B:T:L 1:08:00)   DRIVE FAILED! (0x0C)
   Disk208: Box 2, Bay 08, (B:T:L 1:09:00)   REPLACEMENT
   Disk209: Box 2, Bay 09, (B:T:L 1:10:00)   REPLACEMENT
   Disk210: Box 2, Bay 10, (B:T:L 1:11:00)   REPLACEMENT
Spare Disk(s) used by lun 11:
   No spare drive is designated.
Logical Volume Raid Level: DISTRIBUTED PARITY FAULT TOLERANCE (RAID 5)
                           stripe_size=64kB
Logical Volume Capacity : 858,305MB

 

We've ordered a replacement disk for the drive that has failed.  But what concerns me is that the other three drives all show as REPLACEMENT, even though the disks haven't been replaced.

So I am worried that even if we replace the failed drive, the volume won't rebuild.

I can't find any command in the CLI documentation or on the ACU GUI utility to tell the MSA controller that those drives weren't replaced.

 

Any and all suggestions greatfully received!

Hello,

I'm trying to do upgrade HP StorageWorks 4/8 SAN Switch to the latest firmware. Current version is 5.3.0d and the latest should be 6.2.x. I know that I cannot do direct upgrade to 6.2.x. I already downloaded the 6.2.x firmware, but I cannot find 6.1.x. I tried official HP site, Brocade site etc and nothing. Could you provide me some link, where I can download the 6.1.x version or give some advice how to find it?

Thank you

Hi!

 

I am trying to connect a HP blade server (C7000) enclosure to a small SAN comprised of an EVA4000, 3 rx4640 servers (running HP-UX) and a tape library. This small SAN do not have zoning configured on the 2x16 FC switchs.

The physicall connetivity between the two exist and we are using brocade switch, and both the SAN and the enclosure are located in two different data centers. The idea is to have this blade being backed up on the tape library.

I am planning to implement MS Windows 2003 x64 server two node cluster. My configuration include EVA 8000, hp 4/16 SAN Switches and Qlogic HBA's. I went to "HP Windows cluster configuration Support for AMD and Intel Architecture" site and download pdf guide.

http://h18026.www1.hp.com/solutions/enterprise/highavailability/answercenter/configuration-all-list.html

Maximum XCS version listed in this pdf is 6.110.

Is there any other location that gives more updated infomation to verify MSCS compatibility with EVA 8000.

Hi,

 

I had strange issue with volume presented with XP24000 storage. LUSE volume is created from XP24000 and presented to Windows 2003 server. Windows 2003 disk manager show this as two volumes in singe disk. When another LUSE is created from different CU and presented to this server disk manager show it as a single disk with single volume.

 

Initially this LUSE is created from 20 OPEN-V LDEVs. Again I have created LUSE from 19 OPEN-V LDEVS. Both instances it gives same issue when it is in the same CU. Any help to solve this issue is appreciated.

CA-EVA4000 with mpx100

Hi ALL
Can I use mpx100 for Continuous Access with EVA4000 ?
what is the difference between mpx100 mpx100b and mpx110?



EVA4100 with mpx100

I have an EVA4100 with mpx100. The mpx100 is using the first host port on both EVA controllers as input from the EVA. I wanted to convert the EVA to only fc, so I can connect all 4 front end ports. I took out the cables going from the mpx100 to the 2 EVA ports, installed 2 sfp's and then set the ports to fabric. Still I have problems to get link to the san switches on these ports. Is there any more reconfig I must do to get this working. I see that there is light in the sfp's on these ports.

VNX5200UNB disk devices keep reappearing

$

Hello people,

I've been migrating the LUNs of a 2-node BL860c HP-UX 11.31 cluster from a Clariion CX4-240 storage array to a VNX-5200.
So far so good, new LUNs are seen and migration is performed smoothly using LVM mirroring.

However since I have started mapping LUNs from this new VNX-5200 array to this cluster, I keep getting alerts from HPSIM saying "(WBEM) Lun path belonging to LUN has gone offline."

Looking carefully, these hardware paths correspond to disk with a type of "VNX5200UNB" and the corresponding /dev/disk/diskNNN are not accessible (I/O error)

If I rmsf them by hardware paths (both the agile and legacy disks) they keep reappearing after a while, syslog.log tells me that the sfd deamon has run an insf command to create them back.

I see no obvious error in my configuration, the hosts are registered on the VNX-5200 as "HP non auto-tresspass" with failover mode = 4, which HP tells me are the recommended values.

The EMC Connectivity Guide for HP-UX mentions a few possible causes for this, including tresspassed LUNs. There were two, but I've moved them back to their home SP now and the problem is still there.

This has never happened with the old Clariion CX4-240 array. Clearly I must have done something wrong, but I fail to spot what. The only "unusual" thing I've done is to skip host LUN ID #0  when affecting LUNs to the storage group (I've started at 1) based on some vague warning I had received to avoid using #0.

Any advice greatly appreciated, I can provide whatever extra info asked for.

Setting up DR lun SAN to SAN Replication please help

$

Hi,

I am trying to set up DR replication of a lun from our one HP EVA 4400 san to our 2nd HP EVA 4400 located a state away. I have a MPX100b and MPX110 set up on both sides with fcip routes configured between the 2. When I go in to Command View 10.3 to set up a DR Replication group it tells me, "Operation Failed, The local storage system has no available paths to the remote storage system". I check my Data Replication folder and status for Remote System connection is "No Paths".

How can I set up the paths between the 2 EVA 4400's? What am I missing that I need to do? Of course I'm on a serious time crunch. Please help, thank you!

HP eva 4400 OK to replace ungrouped failed disk while 2nd Disk failure is reconstructing

$
0

We had a failed disk this morning in Enclosure 2, Bay 1. This HDD is now in the Ungrouped container.
When the DG started leveling, within a minute or two later a 2nd HDD failed. This is in a separate Enclosure 3, Bay 2. Data State on this is currently Reconstructing.
I know not to replace the HDD that is in the reconstructing state but what about the 1st disk that failed that is in the Ungrouped container? Can I replace that disk now or must I wait to replace both till reconstruction is complete?
I only have one DG full of 600GB 10K drives.

The DG protection level is Single (Double is requested). Once reconstruction is complete and 2nd HDD goes in to the ungrouped section, my DG should go back to Double protection, correct?
Thank you!

MSA 2040 question

Hello, i have a MSA 2040 and i have some questions.

1. What is the difference between Disk Group Type "Virtual" and "linear"?
2. What are the advantages of Virtual vs. Linear?
3. For what the pools be used?

 

In MSA are installed 17x 15K 600GB hard disks and 2x 2TB 7.2K hard disks.

I would like to set up the following configuration:
• RAID 10 with 16x 600GB 15K HDD + 1 Spare 15K 600GB
o 1 Volume 4.8 TB
• RAID 1 7.2K 2x 2TB hard drives
o 1 Volume 2TB

Which Disk Group type makes more sense here "Virtual" or "linear"?
