PERC H200 inside R310 Server

Hey there,

Installed a server with CentOS 5.10 - Which has gone okay, I've checked the status of the RAID 1 virtual disk, and it's coming up as follows:

Controller PERC H200 Adapter (Slot 2)
ID : 0
Status : Ok
Name : Virtual Disk 0
State : Background Initialization
Hot Spare Policy violated : Not Assigned
Encrypted : Not Applicable
Progress : 27% complete
Layout : RAID-1
Size : 931.00 GB (999653638144 bytes)
T10 Protection Information Status : No
Associated Fluid Cache State : Not Applicable
Device Name : /dev/sda
Bus Protocol : SATA
Media : HDD
Read Policy : Not Applicable
Write Policy : Not Applicable
Cache Policy : Not Applicable
Stripe Element Size : 64 KB
Disk Cache Policy : Disabled

It hasn't shifted from 27% at all - Is there anything that I may have done wrong, or anything that needs doing to fix it?

Regards.

Hello

How long has it been at 27%? Have you booted into the controller BIOS to check the status there? In the "Volume Status" field it will display whether or not the array is initializing.

If it is still initializing and it is stuck at 27% for a long time then provide more details. Whether you created multiple arrays at the same time or if you have been writing a lot of data to the drives during the BGI can affect the rate that the initialization completes.

Thanks

Hello Daniel,


thanks for replying to me!

The server has been online for 7 days now, an O/S has been installed on it - It's still stuck on 27% hasn't shifted.


I've not been able to go into the BIOS though, as the server is currently in use.

All I've created is a single RAID-1 mirror with 2x 1TB drives and installed CentOS on it.

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3              48G  945M   44G   3% /
/dev/sda8             769G  1.2G  728G   1% /hsphere
/dev/sda7             3.9G   81M  3.6G   3% /tmp
/dev/sda5              20G  1.1G   18G   6% /usr
/dev/sda2              48G  449M   45G   1% /var
/dev/sda1              99M   19M   76M  20% /boot
tmpfs                 3.9G     0  3.9G   0% /dev/shm

As you can see, not much data has been used.

I've had a look within OpenManage, but the details aren't very helpful. It's just saying the information I got from running omreport.

How do you suggest we proceed?

You have been able to use the array fine right? It sounds like a reporting issue. Are you pulling the array status with OMSA or something else?

Hello,,

Yes, the server is operating fine - These stats are being pulled from omreport, or the Open Manage web interface.

Cheers
