MD3000 failed-unresponsive drives

Hello RiponPrinters,

Here is what will need to be done.

1. Disable Hot Spares

2. Fail discs located in enclosure0,slot 2, & enclosure0, slot 12

You will want to use the following command via SMCLI:

set physicalDisk [0,2] operationalState=failed;

set physicalDisk [0,12] operationalState=failed;

3. You want to revive the disk group. Here is the command for that.

revive diskGroup XMPie_files;

Once all the steps are done the disk group should come back online and you should have access to your virtual disk again.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

The diskgroup name is 1 not xmpie_files (that's the virtual disk name). I was able to set the two drives in question to a failed state but now I can't revive the disk group (see below):

Here's the error I get:

revive physicalDisk [0,0];
An error occurred initializing physical disk[0, 0] at line 1.
Error 410 - A physical disk operation cannot be performed because the state of t
he physical disk is inappropriate for the requested operation.
The command at line 1 that caused the error is:

revive physicalDisk [0,0];

Hello RiponPrinters,

What you can try is to revive the drives one at a time, and see if the disk group goes to a degraded state. If the disk group goes to a degraded state after the first drive has been revived, then I would try to revive the disk group again. Here is the command to revive the physical disk.

revive physicalDisk [enclosureID,slotID]

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Hello RiponPrinters,

Did you try to revive physical disk 0,2 & 0,12 as those were the ones that we failed earlier?

Please let us know if you have any other questions.
