Failed Controllstation installation

Hello @ all,

i´ve tried to make a new installation of the controllstation.

The install fails with the following message:

A valid partition exists on LUN 0. Performing a fresh install would result

in loss of system data. If you are sure you want to perform a fresh install,

you must zero out LUN 0 and try again. Exiting install...

Type 'C' to Continue.

How do i zero out LUN 0? Can anyone help me?

Thanks a lot.

If the control volume is

Thin : Unmap the device, unbind the device, rebind the device then map the device to the front end port as LUN 0.

Thick : Unmap the device and map the device to the front end port as LUN 0.

If the Control luns are not zeroed before the File OE re-install it will also fail at the step below:

A valid partition exists on LUN 0. Performing a fresh install would result in loss of system data. If you are sure you want to perform a fresh install, you must zero out LUN 0 and try again. Exiting install...

Type 'C' to continue: Type 'C' to continue:

To fix this:

1. Press C and the CS will take you to the login prompt.

2. login as root

3. Execute the command below to zero all the control LUNS 0,4 and 5.

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/nda bs=1M count=100

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/nde bs=1MB count=2000

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ndf bs=1MB count=63k

Please note this may take some time for the third command to complete as the /dev/ndf size is 134217344 KB

After this is done continue with the FILE OE re-install.

Thanks this worked.

Execute below commands:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/nda bs=1M count=100

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/nde bs=1MB count=2000

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ndf bs=1MB count=63k

After running these command make sure you reboot the control station & restart the File OE installation

P.S> do not directly ersume the File OE script post executing the commands, reboot is required.

Hi!

Sorry for necroposting.

I'm trying to reinstall my CS as well.

So I zero out these 3 LUNs, and after reboot installation ends with error:

Initializing server in slot 2 as server_2 ...

server_2 : will load : nas.exe

This is different issue than zeroing the control luns.

Control Luns appears trespassed and also appears not seeing the disks. Raising a support ticket is the easiest way here.

Anyway, if you get the prompt, check the DM is booted ( /nasmcd/getreason) , check the HBA status ( /nasmcd/sbin/t2tty -c 2 "fcp show", Disks (/nasmcd/sbin/t2tty -c 2 "camshowconfig") - If no /nasmcd directory, /tftpboot also will have the commands.

We out of support on this VNX, so I'm on my own here

One of Control LUNs is trespassed, and I can't trespass it back nor in GUI nor in navicli - it says no such LUN

NaviSECCli.exe -user sysadmin -password sysadmin -scope 0 -h 10.209.101.3 trespass lun 4095

Error: trespass command failed

LUN does not exist

So here is a output:

# /nasmcd/getreason

6 - slot_0 control station ready

4 - slot_2 configured

4 - slot_3 configured

Is there a manual to reinstall CS correctly, and take in account all pre requirements, and to troubleshoot known cases?

/nasmcd/sbin/t2tty -c 2 "camtrespass c0t0l0"


That above command will trespass the lun back to spa on chain 0.


I dont think you will find a manual for this kind of CE's activities. Even Knowledge articles also most likely visible to CEs only.
