MD3200i in SODReboot lockdown state
Hello,
I am having issue with MD3200i after it lost iscsi connection with a PowerEdge server. Currently all the iscsi interface are not responding to ping. Out-Of-Band port is pingable but the array is not detected by MDSM software. Physically there is a amber led blinking at the front. When I plugin the console cable and power cycle the unit I see the message said the array is in SODReboot lockdown state.
I did some reading over the forum, seems this means the controllers are not boot up successfully and lock itself as protection. I would like to ask in this state how could I determine the cause of the lockdown? Should I unlock the controller first and boot again?
Regards,
And below are the boot log capture from both controller.

Hello citizen_B,
Your system is in a lockdown state. If your system is under warranty then you will want to call into support so that we can clear the lockdown. If you are not under warranty, then you will need to access the VXshellusr of your MD and clear the lockdown. The VXshellusr account has a password that can’t be provided to customers, and that is why we say to call support to clear this error.
Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Hello Sam,
Thank you for your reply.
Would a faulty power support causing a lockdown? Because I do have one power supply flashing amber led, and I have populated all the bay with harddisk.
Could I generate a support bundle at this state? And say I have VXshellusr access to unlock the controller, Would this cause harm to have the controller try to boot so than I can capture the console output?
Regards,
DELL-Sam L

Hello citizen_B,
A lockdown can happen for many reasons. Losing a single power supply should not trigger a lockdown. You should be able to gather a support bundle with one working power supply. You can clear the lockdown on your own if your system is out of warranty, however if you do it wrong you can harm your data. if your system is still under warranty then I would call in so that we can clear the lockdown.
Please let us know if you have any other questions.
