The storage subsystem has failed to adopt the configuration database of one or more recently inserted drives because of a reference to an unsupported RAID level within the configuration database. Due to the nature of the failure the Recovery Guru Details area does not provide specific information about the problem or the drives causing the problem.
Caution: Electronic
discharge can damage sensitive components. Always use proper
antistatic protection when handling components. Touching components
without using a proper ground may damage the equipment.
1 | Remove all of the drives or drive
enclosures that were recently inserted into
this storage subsystem and return them back to the original storage subsystem. Note: At the original storage subsystem all of the drives will still be native and all of the arrays will still be accessible. Alternatively, instead of returning the drives to the original storage subsystem, you may insert them into an empty storage subsystem that is known to support the RAID levels referenced by the configuration database where the configuration database of the drives should be adopted by the storage subsystem. If you use an alternate storage subsystem, ensure that the controllers are powered off prior to attaching the drives. |
2 | After the drives are recognized by the
original or alternate storage subsystem, ensure that ALL arrays
are a supported RAID level (including ones not residing on the
drives you intend to move). You can do this by changing the
RAID level of an array, or by deleting unwanted or missing
arrays. Note: Refer to the online help for the original or alternate storage subsystem if you require assistance with this step. |
3 | When all of the arrays use a RAID level supported by this (the destination) storage subsystem, remove the drives from the original or alternate storage subsystem. |
4 | Power down the controllers to this (the destination) storage subsystem, and ensure that there are no additional foreign drives attached to them. |
5 | Re-insert the drives into this storage subsystem (or re-attach the drive enclosures to the controllers), and then power-on the controllers. |
6 | Click Recheck to rerun the Recovery Guru. The failure should no longer appear in the Summary area. If the failure appears again, contact your technical support representative. |
