Failed installation of a virtual service processor with
Hyper-V
Cause
Installation of a virtual service processor (SP) fails with a Hyper-V installation. The following message
appears: /dev/sda5: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; Run fsck MANUALLY
The date and time were set incorrectly on a Windows Server.
Action
Before you install a virtual service processor, make sure that the Hyper-V Server time and date are
properly set, either by using the NTP server or manually through the Windows OS date and time settings.
Setting the correct date and time ensures virtual service processor real-time monitoring and access.
Identifying drive enclosure (cage) numbering in the
software
Symptom
During the software installation of the storage system, the expansion drive enclosure (cage) identification
numbers are assigned based on a port scan and might not reflect the order of their physical location
within the rack.
Identification numbers are assigned during the software installation to the drive enclosures based on a
scan of the DP1 port first and then the DP2 port on a given controller node pair.
Example:
With a two controller node storage system that includes three drive enclosures cabled to the controller
node enclosure through ports DP1 and DP2, the identification numbers are assigned in the order 0, 2, 3,
1. These numbers appear in the cage ID LED screen (on the enclosure front).
This method of assigning the cage ID numbers based on port connections is the expected behavior and
cannot be changed. However, you can add a description in the software to describe the physical location
of the enclosure within the rack.
