27. (from step 22)
Is any disk drive failing?
NO Adisk drive that is listed as rejected is not necessarily failing. For
example, the array might have rejected the disk drive because a power
problem, or an SSAlink problem, caused that drive to become temporarily
unavailable. Under such conditions, the disk drive can be reused.
If you think that a disk drive has been rejected because it is failing, check
the error log history for that disk drive. For example, if you suspect
pdisk3, type on the command line:
ssa_ela -l pdisk3 -h 5
This command causes the error log for pdisk3 to be analyzed for the
previous five days. If a problem is detected, an SRN is generated.
Go to step 28.
YES
a. Exchange the failing disk drive for a new one (see “Exchanging Disk
Drives”on page 319).
b. Go to step 37on page 473 to add the disk drive to the group of disk
drives that are available for use by the RAID manager.
28. (from steps 22 and 27)
a. Type smitty ssaraid and press Enter.
b. Select List All SSARAID Arrays Connected to a RAID Manager.
c. List the arrays that are connected to each SSAAdapter.
Are any arrays listed with a status other than Good or Rebuilding?
NO Go to step 29.
YES Go to step 1on page 454.
29. (from steps 28 and 35)
a. Type smitty ssaraid and press Enter.
b. Select List Status Of All Defined SSARAID Arrays.
c. Select, in turn, each type of array that is used on your subsystem, and press
Enter.
Do any listed arrays have Invalid Data Strips?
NO Go to step 30on page 471.
YES Go to step 1on page 454.
