PV MD3200i with no critical alert but not functionning

         Hi world,

     Our very old MD3200i is not functioning very well, some VM using isccsi virtual disks on it have sluggish copy rate of 3Mo/s! VMs seems to work no errors, no other performance issue could be observed but an application running on one of those can't run some sql requests  because of timeout.

As there was no critical error i decided to rebuild a clean datastore beside the defect one but before going to copy things i decided to take a look to other messages in log...

Here is what i found:

Datastore 1 the one i want to reinit

So, can i trust datastore 1? What can i do for further investigation?

Datastore 2 has disks problems, disk 8 is a new one in spare status, but disk 10 ...

Another thing i would like to know is why i have those 3 triangles when i clic show  physical disks, datastore 2 is 5,6,7,9,10,11?

Conclusion, would you keep this SAN in production any longer?

 

Greetings

Gilles
