7 Troubleshooting, servicing, and maintenance

Troubleshooting the storage system

The “Support and troubleshooting” task at the HP Support & Drivers web site (http://www.hp.com/ go/support) can be used to troubleshoot problems with the storage system. After entering the storage system name and designation (for example, ML110 G5 storage system) or component information (for example, Array Configuration Utility), use the following links for troubleshooting information:

Download drivers and software—This area provides drivers and software for your operating system.

Troubleshoot a problem—This area provides a listing of customer notices, advisories, and bulletins applicable for the product or component.

Manuals—This area provides the latest user documentation applicable to the product or component. User guides can be a useful source for troubleshooting information. For most storage system hardware platforms, the following ProLiant server manuals may be useful for troubleshooting as- sistance:

HP ProLiant Server User Guide or HP ProLiant Server Maintenance and Service Guide. These guides contain specific troubleshooting information for the server.
