Hi all,

 

I have a PE 1600SC that began reporting a failed drive in the PERC4 RAID array today.  Upon reviewing the console log (NW 6.5 SP3-CPR), I am finding the following errors:

 

mega_HAM_Timeout : ERROR : timeout on cloneMbox 0x926460, hacb 0xB6E1B520 for in
stance [0]                                                                     
mega_HAM_ISR : ERROR : cloneMbox with cmd 6F is serviced already.              
Aug 26, 2005 7:49:05 PM org.apache.jk.server.JkCoyoteHandler action            
SEVERE: Error in action code                                                   
java.io.IOException: Operation would block

 

and

 

mega_HAM_Timeout : ERROR : timeout on cloneMbox 0x938960, hacb 0xB6E1BE20 for in
stance [0]                                                                     
mega_HAM_ISR : ERROR : cloneMbox with cmd 16 is serviced already. 

 

 

This appeared in the log Friday evening (during tape backups), and the drive failure apparently occured early this morning (Sunday).

 

I see from other posts about this message, that it may mean the PERC controller may be failing and needs to be replaced.  Since this error occured 2 days before the drive failure, could this indicate that the drive hasn't actually failed, but rather the controller believes it has?  Any recommendations?

 

Also, how do I disable the PERC's beeping alarm?

 

By the way, the server and PERC have the latest firmware, and the PERC's HAM is ver 7.02.03 (C)

 

Thanks much!
