Multiple hard disk drives fail. Make sure that the hard disk drive, SAS/SATA adapter, and server device drivers
and firmware are at the latest level.
Important: Some cluster solutions require specific code levels or coordinated code
updates. If the device is part of a cluster solution, verify that the latest level of code
is supported for the cluster solution before you update the code.
Multiple hard disk drives are
offline. 1. Review the storage subsystem logs for indications of problems within the
storage subsystem, such as backplane or cable problems.
2. See “Problem determination tips” on page 209.
A replacement hard disk drive
does not rebuild.
1. Make sure that the hard disk drive is recognized by the adapter (the green hard
disk drive activity LED is flashing).
2. Review the SAS/SATA adapter documentation to determine the correct
configuration parameters and settings.
A green hard disk drive activity
LED does not accurately
represent the actual state of
the associated drive. If the green hard disk drive activity LED does not flash when the drive is in use, run
the DSA Preboot diagnostic programs to collect error logs (see “Running the DSA
Preboot diagnostic programs” on page 187).
• If there is a hard disk drive error log, replace the affected hard disk drive.
• If there is no disk drive error log error log, replace the affected backplane.
An yellow hard disk drive
status LED does not accurately
represent the actual state of
the associated drive. 1. If the yellow hard disk drive LED and the RAID adapter software do not indicate
the same status for the drive, complete the following steps:
a. Turn off the server.
b. Reseat the SAS/SATA adapter.
c. Reseat the backplane signal cable and backplane power cable.
d. Reseat the hard disk drive.
e. Turn on the server and observe the activity of the hard disk drive LEDs.
