Logical Disks And Chunklet Initialization; Recovering Failed Raid Sets; Viewing Hardware Inventory - HP 3PAR StoreServ 7200 2-node Administrator's Manual

Media—The current status of the physical disk media for the chunklet. The value is failed
if the media has encountered errors and is unavailable, or valid if it is available for use.
Sp—The spare status of the chunklet. Y indicates the chunklet is used for spare, N indicates
that it is not.
Cl—The cleaning status of the chunklet. Indicates whether the chunklet is in the process of
being reinitialized for use, as happens when a physical disk is added to the system, or an LD
is removed. The value can be Y (cleaned), N (not cleaned), or Cg (being cleaned now).
From—The initial location of the chunklet prior to relocation. The format is PD:CH, where PD
is the physical disk ID and CH is the chunklet ID.
To—The destination location of the chunklet during relocation in the format PD:C H.

Logical Disks and Chunklet Initialization

After deleting logical disks, the underlying chunklets must be initialized before their space is
available to build logical disks. The initialization process for chunklets generally takes about one
minute per 1GB chunklet and 20 seconds per 256MB chunklet. To see chunklets that are currently
in the process of being initialized, issue the showpd
are listed in the Uninit column.

Recovering Failed RAID Sets

Failed RAID sets can prevent chunklet relocation, which in turn prevents servicemag operations
from completing. Use the checkld command to recover data from a failed RAID set:
checkld -y <LD_name> -rs <setnumber> -recover -fd:-fp, where:
-y—Indicates that any errors that are found should be fixed; this option is required when
using the -recover option.
<LD_name>—Specifies the name of the LD that contains the failed RAID set.
-rs <setnumber>—Specifies the RAID set number within the LD to be checked, fixed, and
recovered.
-recover -fd:-fp—Specifies the chunklet to be recovered by physical disk and chunklet
position.

Viewing Hardware Inventory

Use the showinventory command to display information about all the hardware components
in the system. The command output is divided into sections such as the following:
Nodes
PCI Cards
CPUs
Internal Drives
Physical Memory
Power Supplies
Battery
Node Fans
Port Inventory
Cage Inventory
Disk Inventory
c command. Chunklets that are uninitialized
