MDS-600 will not power on

I have a MDS-600 direct attached to a P812 controller on a DL-380P G8 running CentOS.  After a power cut the MDS-600 will not power on and flashes the blue LED's in the front and rear on both drawers of disks.  I have unplugged it and reseated all fans and power supplies, as well as the IO modules.  From the documentation I have read, the blue lights indicate it is in "discovery mode" or thinks a firmware upgrade is taking place.  Any ideas?

Hi,

We have an array EVA P6500 with two controllers. This array was bought in october of 2011.
Recently, we have issues about several FC disk failed (15k rpm). We have five failed disk in the last two months, . This array is not in support contract.
I know that the age is a factor for probability of get a disk fail event, but, my question is:
What other factors can affect the timelife of a magnetic disk, specially in enviroment of EVA P6500 ?I have a similar array in other side with no problems.

Please provide me any clues according your experience.
Thanks in advance.

Smart Array P410i - choose appropriate OS - firmware download

On the Drivers & Software for HP Smart Array P410i Controller - HPE Support Center download page, besides language, there is an option to choose OS as well.

My intention is just to check firmware versions available and compare them to those currently in use. However, for different OSes, different results show up.

What is the appropriate choice for it? E.g. server I am working on is Ubuntu server, but I see no Ubuntu listed in the dropdown menu.

My output (not complete, obviously) of hpacucli ctrl all show config is:

Smart Array P220i in Slot 0 (Embedded)    (sn: XXXXXXXXXXXXXX)

      logicaldrive 1 (136.7 GB, RAID 1, OK)

      physicaldrive 1I:1:2 (port 1I:box 1:bay 2, SAS, 146 GB, OK)

   SEP (Vendor ID ....)

Smart Array P410i in Slot 3               (sn: 5001438025905868)

How can i understand the output from hpaducli ?

Hi,
we have a ProLiant ML 350 G5 with SLES 10 SP4. Although system is old it was running fine for many years. But now we had twice that the OS didn't react anymore. We had to reboot. I think the RAID-Controller E200i is the culprit.
I ran hpaducli. But the output is very thoroughly. Is there a webpage/tutorial explaining it ?
I can upload it if desired.

Thanks.
