Troubleshooting Replacing the missing or dead drive and initiating a rebuild will change the state of the array from an incomplete unit to OK. AEN 007h AEN_INIT_DONE The storage switch has completed the initialization sequence and performs the initialization step at array creation time of RAID levels 1, 10 and 5. For RAID 5, the data on the array is read and the resultant parity is written to the parity area on the array. For RAID 1 and 10, one half of the mirror is copied to the other half (mirrors are synchronized). AEN 008h AEN_UNCLEAN_SHUTDOWN The storage switch has the ability to detect if the system has been shutdown via the standard shutdown mechanism of the operating system (clean shutdown). If the system loses power or is reset without going through the normal shutdown procedure, it is possible that the data on a redundant array may be out of synchronization. The unclean shutdown detection will detect this case and force the array to enter the rebuilding state. This has the effect of synchronizing the array back to a fully redundant state. To prevent unclean shutdowns, the user should always go through the normal shutdown procedure for the operating system in use and use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to prevent unclean shutdowns due to sudden power loss. AEN 009h AEN_APORT_TIMEOUT The storage switch has a sophisticated recovery mechanism to handle various types of failures of a disk drive. One such possible failure of a disk drive is a failure of a command that is pending from the storage switch to complete within a reasonable amount of time. If the storage switch detects this condition, it notifies the user, prior to entering the recovery phase, by displaying this AEN. www.3ware.com 151

change the state of the array from an incomplete unit to OK.
AEN 007h
AEN_INIT_DONE
The storage switch has completed the initialization sequence and
performs the initialization step at array creation time of RAID lev-
els 1, 10 and 5. For RAID 5, the data on the array is read and the
resultant parity is written to the parity area on the array. For RAID 1
and 10, one half of the mirror is copied to the other half (mirrors are

AEN 008h
AEN_UNCLEAN_SHUTDOWN
The storage switch has the ability to detect if the system has been
shutdown via the standard shutdown mechanism of the operating
system (clean shutdown). If the system loses power or is reset with-
out going through the normal shutdown procedure, it is possible
that the data on a redundant array may be out of synchronization.
The unclean shutdown detection will detect this case and force the
array to enter the rebuilding state. This has the effect of synchroniz-
ing the array back to a fully redundant state.
To prevent unclean shutdowns, the user should always go through
the normal shutdown procedure for the operating system in use and
use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to prevent unclean shut-
downs due to sudden power loss.

The storage switch has a sophisticated recovery mechanism to han-
dle various types of failures of a disk drive. One such possible fail-
ure of a disk drive is a failure of a command that is pending from
the storage switch to complete within a reasonable amount of time.
If the storage switch detects this condition, it notifies the user, prior
