HP StorageWorks 6000 - Virtual Library System User Manual page 317

Symptom
At reboot, there are spurious critical
FC port failures reported as notific-
ation alerts, usually on every port.
Later, Info notification alerts for
each FC host port are generated,
indicating the FC ports are operat-
ing normally.
The Identity tab of Command View
VLS reports Total Usable Capacity
of 0 GB, even though there are
working disk arrays available to
the VLS system.
After replacing drive 0 in a node,
the system will not boot.
Possible causes
This is expected behavior and does
not indicate a problem.
Whenever the VLS detects more
array enclosures than there are
correctly installed licenses, the VLS
system will disable ALL array stor-
age and report 0 GB of Total Us-
able Capacity.
A blank drive was installed in drive
bay 0.
Solution
5. Repeat this procedure for each
server visible to each SDLT
tape drive.
None
Using Command View TL on the
management station for this VLS,
go to the "License Key Summary"
tab and verify the following:
• There is a License folder labeled
"VLS at..." with the Ethernet IP
address for this VLS system.
• The number of license instances
in this folder ("Quantity (LTU)")
is equal to or greater than the
number of array enclosures
connected to this VLS system in
addition to the minimum config-
uration. For example, a
VLS6100 series system has a
minimum configuration of 1 ar-
ray enclosure and a
VLS6800 series has a minimum
configuration of 4 array enclos-
ures. There must be at least 1
LTU for every array enclosure
over the minimum configuration.
A VLS6800 series with 16
connected array enclosure
needs 12 correctly installed LTU
license keys.
• Verify the correct VLS system
Identifier was used and entered
correctly when the license key
was created. If licenses that
were installed for this system
show up under the "Un-man-
aged Licenses" license folder,
then Command View TL can not
match the Identifier for that li-
cence to any known library
device.
If a blank drive is installed in drive
bay 0, the system will not boot. To
remedy this, switch the drive loc-
ated in bay 0 with the drive located
in bay 1.
