Identify Other Drive-Related Problems - IBM F10 Service Manual

11. Your system reconstructed the drive automatically.
12. Your system did not reconstruct the drive automatically.
13. Return to normal operation.

Identify Other Drive-Related Problems

Problem Indicators
There may be a drive-related problem with the ESM board or mid-plane when one
or more of the following occur:
164
IBM 2102 Model F10 and Model D00 Service Guide
v the operating system or host RAID management software has not
acknowledged the new drive, or
v the new drive is defective
Do the following:
a. If the subsystem is attached to a Windows NT, SUN, or HP-UX host, then
use the Recovery application of the Fibre Channel Storage manager host
software to check the drive's status and to perform the appropriate
restoration tasks required by the system.
If the subsystem is attached to an AIX host, then run the diagnostics to try
to isolate and correct the problem. If the problem is corrected, go to Step
13.
If not, go on to Step 10.b.
b. The new drive FRU has failed. Replace this drive with another drive FRU.
If replacing the drive does not solve the problem, go to "Identify Other
Drive-Related Problems".
Once the data reconstruction is complete (the Active LED stops blinking and
the Power/Fault LED glows green), use the Fibre Channel Storage Manager
host software or RAID Manager for DOS to check the drive module's status
(see "Checking Array Status" on page 226). If the drive and drive module have
a normal status, go to Step 13. If the software displays an error status, follow
the recovery procedure that is given.
v If the subsystem is attached to an AIX host, then refer to the procedures for
replacing drives and restoring and recovering logical units in Fibre Channel
Storage Manager, Installation and User's Guide for the AIX Operating
System , SC26-7290.
v If the subsystem is attached to a Windows NT, SUN, or HP-UX host, then
continue on with this procedure.
What type of logical units did the failed drive (the one you just replaced)
contain?
v RAID level 1, 3, or 5 LUNS. Use the Recovery Application of the Fibre
Channel Storage Manager host software to reconstruct the data on the new
drive manually. Once the reconstruction process is complete, check the
overall status of the drive module. If the drive and drive module have a
normal status, go to Step 13. If the software displays an error status, use
the Recovery Application and follow the recovery procedure that is given.
v RAID level 0 LUNS. If the logical units on the replaced drive were RAID
level 0 units, you must reformat the LUN. Use the Recovery Application and
follow the recovery procedure that is given.
Close the panels (or doors) on the cabinet, if applicable.
