증상

You may observe one or more of the following alerts or event codes indicating disk issues:

  • Event Codes: STORAGE-00001, STORAGE-00002, PHYM-00001
  • Alert Messages:
    • Enclosure disk has failed and should be replaced
    • Disk has a hardware fault and may need to be replaced
    • Disk is absent and should be replaced
    • Unable to access the disk; disk state is powered off
    • A disk has failed, and the enclosure slot has been disabled

Affected Products:

  • All Data Domain systems
  • All Data Domain Operating System (DDOS) software releases

원인

DDOS continuously monitors disk health and automatically fails a drive when critical I/O errors occur.
Alerts are generated when a disk is:

  • Removed (absent)
  • Dead or failed
  • Powered off (manually or automatically by DDOS to prevent backend issues)

해결

Verify and confirm the failure:

  1. Verify the alerts on the system using DDMC, Data Domain System Manager (DDSM | Web-UI), or DD-CLI (ssh).
    • DD-CLI # alerts show current
    • DDSM > Alerts 
  1. Identify and confirm the current state of all drives in the system.
    • DD-CLI # disk show state | AND | # disk show hardware
    • DDSM > Hardware > Storage > Disks 
    • Single failed disks should be replaced immediately.
      • Contact your support provider and raise a service request (SR) if one has not been raised automatically.
    • If multiple disk drive alerts exist, contact your contracted support provider for assistance with the next steps.
  • Example: DD-CLI: 
    • sysadmin@DD# disk show state

    • Absent disks are marked as (A)
    • Powered-off disks are marked as (P)
  • For DD3300 disk issues, consider this KB:

Replace the failed disk:

  1. See relevant documented disk replacement procedures (Data Domain Documentation
    • Tip: Best practice for replacing disk drives should include a one minute waiting period from the time a drive is removed until the new drive is inserted.
      • For example, remove the failed disk, wait one minute and then insert the new disk.
        • This allows the controller firmware to properly remove the old drive before the new drive is inserted, greatly reducing the possibility of a hotplug issue where the new drive is not properly recognized.
  2. Verify that the drive is in a SPARE state after replacement.
  • From DD-CLI # disk show state
  • DDSM > Hardware > Storage > Disks 
  • Example: DD-CLI:
sysadmin@DD# disk show state

> The newly installed disk becomes (s)pare and the reconstructed disk is now 'in-use'.

If the new drive reports as Unknown:

  1. Attempt a rescan of the drives. Run command # disk rescan
  2. Verify status of drive from DD-CLI # disk show state
  3. Clear the alert for unknown drive from DD-CLI # alerts clear alert-id <alert-id>

If the new drive reports as failed after a drive replacement:

  1. Attempt to rescan the drive by rescanning the one or more drives. Run command # disk rescan
  2. Verify status of drive from DD-CLI # disk show state
  3. If the drive is still shown as failed (F), run this command from DD-CLI: # disk unfail <encl.disc>
  • For example: # disk unfail 5.6

Clearing the drive alert after drive replacement:

  1. Clear the alert for the unknown drive from DD-CLI # alerts clear alert-id <alert-id>
