Dell PowerVault MD3400 warning massege: "controller is locked down due to detected corruption in the primary database..."

Hello dear friends! I have Dell PowerVault MD3400 with two controllers. One of them has a mistake.

MDSM doesn't see it, though one of controllers gets ip adress from DHCP server.

I need your ideas and advises.

Here is a log from putty connection with serial cable:

Hello Hasan Y,

Did you recently do a firmware upgrade on your MD3400? Was anything replaced recently? Was there a power outage recently? I will send you a private message & if you can reply back with the service tag of your MD3400 I can look into this & see what is going to need to be done to resolve your issue.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Hello Sam! Thanks for your answer.
I just pulled out all 12HDDs for other project and put 12 other new empty hard drives like Dell 2TB. When I turned on, controller switched in Lock-Down mode.

Where can I write my ST number? Will u give me your e-mail or write me a private massege?

Hello Kashifsmb,

Based on the error that you have listed you will need to clear the lockdown using the VXshell.  Now we can’t provide you the password to the VXshell as that is reserved to tech support only.  If you are able to access the VXshell then you would need to run the "lemClearLockdown” to remove the lockdown and have the controller boot normally.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Hello Kashifsmb,

Can I get you to capture the entire boot process of the controller? Also, I will need to look at the support bundle from your MD as well.  I will send you an email so that you can send me the logs.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Hello Kashifsmb,

I replied to your email asking for a support bundle from your MD3400 as well as the complete serial capture log from your controller as the partial log that you sent wasn’t enough to tell what was going on. I will send you another email so that I can get the support bundle & full Controller serial Capture.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Hello Kashifsmb,

To get the full controller boot up all you need to do is to start a terminal session & connect your serial cable to the controller. You don’t need to log in to shellusr as that is not required.  You will want to remove the affected controller and wait about 1 minute then insert the controller back into its slot.  When the controller is inserted you will see the controller start it’s bootup.  If you see on the boot up “Start of Day Routine” message, then the controller is up & has logged in.  If you don’t then I will need you to capture the log you get & send the file to me so that I can review it.

As for gather a support bundle you can do that either SMCLI or MDSM.  Here is a link to the SMCLI guide and if you look on page 287 it explains how to gather the support bundle.  https://topics-cdn.dell.com/pdf/powervault-md3400_cli-guide_en-us.pdf

Please let us know if you have any other questions.
