Dot Hill Systems II 200 FC service manual Using the Reset Push Button

■If the status is still “FATAL FAIL,” you might have lost all data on the logical drive, and it might be necessary to re-create the logical drive. Proceed with the following procedures:

a.Replace the failed drive.

Refer to the SANnet II Family FRU Installation Guide for more information.

b.Delete the logical drive.

Refer to the SANnet II Family RAID Firmware User’s Guide for more information.

c.Create a new logical drive.

Refer to the SANnet II Family RAID Firmware User’s Guide for more information.

Note – As physical drives fail and are replaced, the rebuild process regenerates the data and parity information that was on the failed drive. However, the NVRAM configuration file that was present on the drive is not re-created. For details on restoring the NVRAM configuration file to the drive, refer to the SANnet II Family RAID Firmware User’s Guide.

Rebuilding the logical drive restores the RAID integrity to a self-consistent state. This does not guarantee that the data has not been corrupted. All possible application checks should be performed to ensure that the data is not corrupted before it is used for business or production purposes.

For additional troubleshooting tips, refer to the SANnet II 200 FC, SATA, and SATA SE Array Release Notes. See “Related Documentation” on page -xviiifor more information.

8.6Using the Reset Push Button

The Reset push button serves several purposes:

■Tests that LEDs work

To test that the LEDs work, use a paper clip to press and hold the Reset button for 5 seconds. All the LEDs should change from green to amber when you perform this test. Any LED that fails to light indicates a problem with the LED. When you release the Reset button, the LEDs return to their initial state. See “Front-Panel LEDs” on page 6-2for more information.

■Silences audible alarms caused by component failures

To silence audible alarms that are caused by component failures, use a paper clip to push the Reset button. See “Silencing Audible Alarms” on page 8-5for more information about silencing audible alarms.
