Initialization with error - only the top controller detected

   After the Reset Storage Center to Factory Defaults, during the initialization of the SCv3000 Storage Manager Client, it says: This Storage Center requires 2 controller to UP. Only the top controller was detected. Health Status top controller - Solid green – Running normal operation! And the bottom controller - Slow blinking green (2s on, 1s off) - Operating System is Booting all the time. Please tell me how to restore the work of the bottom controller, without it I can’t initialize the Storage Center. Thanks.

    Hello EdwardIPro,

     

    First thing to try; Have you tried power off and reseat the bottom controller and check results?

     

    From the SCv3000 and SCv3020 Storage System Deployment Guide - If you click Troubleshoot Initialization Error to learn how to resolve; What does it show you?

    Hello,  Dell -Charles R.

    Thanks for the advice. We removed and put back the bottom controller from the chassis several times, it’s all pins - Ok, not bent!  We also removed and put back the RAM boards and flash card with OS (operating system), the controller is still in the state of constant "OS loading" blinking green. How do you think, maybe Flash card with OS can be damaged?  Is there any other way to diagnose the controller?

    Thanks.

    After going to the link you requested "Troubleshoot Initialization Error", I get - when going to https://www.dell.com/storagehelp/dellstorageclient/18.1.20/ -

    Is there any other way to diagnose the controller?

    Are these the steps you were following and have you tried going through the process again?

    you can contact with the bottom controller with a console cable, then let us know the boot log.

    Hello, Dell -Charles R.

    After Reset a Controller to Factory Default,

    we cannot initialize SCv3000. I want to read detailed bottom controller logs, but I don't know what software to use for this. On the advice of tianchou, we can connect to the controller, but we do not see the logs. Advise software please.

    Thanks.
