Resume – It informs that 3par system manager that a hdd has been replaced and data can start moving to this replaced hdd. Start – This command informs the 3par system manager to relocate all the data chunklets from this magazine / hdd to other disk location so that this drive magazine can be removed to replace a faulty hdd. So no chunklets should be drawn from the failed hdd to write anymore data. Once a hdd is marked as failed then the Inform OS informs all the 3par controllers that a particular pd has failed and not good for data storage anymore. If there is any hdd failure due to bad blocks or some bad chunklets, then a PD would be marked as failed by the Inform OS of the 3par storage. Servicemag is process which runs to ensure there is no hdd failure. You can also command > servicemag status 3 23 to find out the status of the failed hdd. However failed hdd can be check by running below commands:ĩ5 3:7:0 FC 10 failed 838656 0 1:0:2 0:0:2* 900

Note: Magazine 3:7:0 means – Cage 3, Magazine 7, Hdd 0Ī pd (hdd) can be reported as degraded as well and we need to verify why the pd shows as degraded. You may see the message like below, for example: Magazine 3:7:0, Physical Disk 95 Failed (Replace Drive ) If the alert has been resolved by itself then you may not need to do anything. You can log in to Service Processor or Store Serve Management Console (SSMC) and check the alerts status. As soon as we receive this type of alert we need validate if that is a genuine alert about a failed hdd and not a false alert. It can also send an alert saying for example pd 30 has failed.

First of all we need to find about if there is a hdd failure.įirst of all you many receive an email notification by the IRS server about failed hdd if the Service processor is connected to the 3par. Here are we’ll discuss the the procedure to replace a failed hdd in the 3par storage systems. It is simple to replaced a failed hdd in the 3par storage systems most of the time however we need to ensure that right procedure and guidelines are being followed.
