Solving Shared Storage Problems
continued
Problem
Possible Cause
Action
Compaq Redundancy Manager
shows cluster in nonredundant
mode.
You are using ACU to expand
capacity.
The firmware will automatically
put the RA4000 in nonredundant
mode during capacity expansion.
This is normal behavior.
ICL has failed.
Check Windows NT Event Log to
determine if the ICL (interconnect
link) to has failed.
Mismatched firmware on the
array controllers.
1.
Check to make sure the
firmware version levels
match.
2.
If they do not match, use
Options ROMPaq to update
the firmware.
Drive rebuild automatically
restarts.
Failover may have occurred.
Check to see if a failover has
occurred. It is normal behavior for
a drive rebuild to restart if a
failover has occurred.
Storage performance is marginal.
Cache modules on the array
controllers do not match.
Obtain and replace cache module
so that cache levels match on
both array controllers.
Windows NT Event Log states:
The Host Bus Adapter in slot %1
has averaged more than %2
Elastic Store Errors over the five
seconds. The loop has become
unstable. The adapter has been
taken offline.
GBIC-SW laser has malfunctioned.
1.
Manually fail over resources.
2.
Refer to the
Compaq
StorageWorks RAID Array
4000
User Guide’s
“Replacing GBICs” chapter
for instructions on replacing
a GBIC-SW.
3.
Manually fail back
resources.
