The RAID 6 Premium Feature is out of compliance.
The Recovery Guru Details area provides specific information you will need as you follow the recovery steps.

If... |
Then... |
You want to resolve
this problem by enabling the RAID 6 feature key |
Go to step 2. |
You want to resolve
this problem by removing all of the RAID 6 arrays
|
a |
If this problem resulted because the RAID 6 arrays
were imported into this storage subsystem, you can return the
drives to the original storage subsystem by using the Export
Array option. If you choose to return the RAID
6 logical drives to the original storage subsystem, refer to the online
help for assistance with exporting arrays. When
you have removed all the RAID 6 arrays from the
storage subsystem, go to step 3. Otherwise, if you still want
to delete the RAID 6 arrays from this storage subsystem,
proceed to step b. |
b |
If required, back up the data on the RAID 6 arrays.
You can do this by backing up the data through a host.
If these arrays were imported into the array, you can
also return them to the source storage subsystem to
complete the backup. When you are sure you have completed
the backup of all the data on the RAID 6 arrays,
proceed to step c. |
c |
Highlight the RAID 6 Array in the Logical View of the
AMW, then select Array >> Delete. Repeat for
each RAID 6 array. |
d |
Go to step 3. |
|
|
2 |
Select the
Storage Subsystem >> Premium Features
menu option in the
Subsystem Management Window.
If... |
Then... |
The RAID 6 feature
appears in this dialog (regardless of status) |
A separate Feature Key
File is needed to enable the RAID 6 feature. If the
RAID 6 feature has
already been enabled at any time for this storage subsystem, you
should already have a Feature Key File. Otherwise,
you will need to perform the following:
- Retrieve the Feature Enable Identifier from the
Premium Features dialog.
- Contact your technical support representative to
request a Feature Key File.
- Once you have located your existing Feature Key File
or obtained the appropriate Feature Key File from your
technical support representative, click the Enable
button to enable it.
- When you are finished enabling
the feature, go to step 3.
|
The RAID 6 feature
does NOT appear in this dialog |
Your storage subsystem
cannot support the RAID 6 feature. It is possible
that you can upgrade to a Feature Pack that will
allow support for the RAID 6 feature. You can
contact your technical support representative to see
if your storage subsystem can be upgraded to a different
Feature Pack, or you can repeat step 1 to remove the
RAID 6 arrays now. |

Click the Recheck button 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. |

There are currently
RAID 6 arrays that need to be removed before
disabling the feature |
a |
If this problem resulted because the RAID 6 arrays
were 'adopted' into this storage subsystem (refer to explanation
of 'adoption' in the Important Notes), you can return the
drives to the original storage subsystem by using the Export
Array option. If you choose to return the RAID
6 logical drives to the original storage subsystem, refer to the online
help for assistance with exporting arrays. When
you have removed all the RAID 6 arrays from the
storage subsystem, go to step 4. Otherwise, if you still want
to delete the RAID 6 arrays from this storage subsystem,
proceed to step b. |
