The

 

Storage

 

Manager

 

client

 

provides

 

the

 

best

 

way

 

to

 

diagnose

 

and

 

repair

 

storage-server

 

failures.

 

The

 

software

 

can

 

help

 

you:

 

v

   

Determine

 

the

 

nature

 

of

 

the

 

failure

 

v

   

Locate

 

the

 

failed

 

component

 

v

   

Determine

 

the

 

recovery

 

procedures

 

to

 

repair

 

the

 

failure

Although

 

the

 

storage

 

server

 

has

 

fault

 

LEDs,

 

these

 

lights

 

do

 

not

 

necessarily

 

indicate

 

which

 

component

 

has

 

failed

 

or

 

needs

 

to

 

be

 

replaced,

 

or

 

which

 

type

 

of

 

recovery

 

procedure

 

you

 

must

 

perform.

 

In

 

some

 

cases

 

(such

 

as

 

loss

 

of

 

redundancy

 

in

 

various

 

components),

 

the

 

fault

 

LED

 

does

 

not

 

turn

 

on.

 

Only

 

the

 

Storage

 

Manager

 

client

 

can

 

detect

 

the

 

failure.

 

For

 

example,

 

the

 

recovery

 

procedure

depending

 

on

 

the

 

drive

 

status

 

(hot

 

spare,

 

unassigned,

 

RAID

 

level,

 

current

 

logical

 

drive

 

status,

 

and

 

so

 

on).

 

Depending

 

on

 

the

 

circumstances,

 

a

 

PFA

 

flag

 

on

 

a

 

drive

 

can

 

indicate

 

a

 

high

 

risk

 

of

 

data

 

loss

 

(if

 

the

 

drive

 

is

 

in

 

a

 

RAID

 

0

 

volume)

 

or

 

a

 

minimal

 

risk

 

(if

 

the

 

drive

 

is

 

unassigned).

 

Only

 

the

 

Storage

 

Manager

 

client

 

can

 

identify

 

the

 

risk

 

level

 

and

 

provide

 

the

 

necessary

 

recovery

 

procedures.

 

Note:

  

For

 

PFA

 

flags,

 

the

 

General-system-error

 

LED

 

and

 

Drive

 

fault

 

LEDs

 

do

 

not

 

turn

 

on,

 

so

 

checking

 

the

 

LEDs

 

will

 

not

 

notify

 

you

 

of

 

the

 

failure,

 

even

 

if

 

the

 

risk

 

of

 

data

 

loss

 

is

 

high.

 

Recovering

 

from

 

a

 

storage-server

 

failure

 

might

 

require

 

you

 

to

 

perform

 

procedures

 

other

 

than

 

replacing

 

the

 

component

 

(such

 

as

 

backing

 

up

 

the

 

logical

 

drive

 

or

 

failing

 

a

 

drive

 

before

 

removing

 

it).

 

The

 

Storage

 

Manager

 

client

 

gives

 

these

 

procedures.
