Hello, I must have made an error when initializing my SC4020. Now it reboots in a loop with the following messages:
Missing disks (38, 35, 34, 33, 11). All essential disks are missing, rebooting in 180 seconds unless disks are found. Waiting 180 secs for disks... Waiting 179 secs for disks... Waiting 178 secs for disks...
Can you check if all the drive's LED activity indicator are all lit green: https://dell.to/3Yi7yQc
Here's what you can do, power cycle all enclosures and controllers bringing the controllers online after 3 minutes if they have spinning disks, to allow the spinning drives to come online fully.
If the system still does not see disks, you could have bad modules, cables or midplane, begin troubleshooting piece by piece to determine what is failed.
What drives are you running in the storage?

I do not understand the link with a post that indicates how to turn off the storage.
Can anyone here help me? I no longer have support for this product, which I paid very dearly for. Dell is going to sell me a service for one of their products that no longer works, even though this product costs more than 30kEUR. This is frankly inadmissible as a support policy.
You can enter safe mode and run the initialize again at both controllers. If the disks is compatible with compellent, the count down will be stopped. If you have any issue, let me know.
