Hi People,
On my existing HP DL 385 G7 Server I'm trying to add one more rack with one more HP Storage D2700 Disk Enclosure (AJ941A) which already has 4 connected with P411.
See below:
So can I just buy one more HP Storage D2700 Disk Enclosure (AJ941A) populated with 1 TB HDD and then 2x SCSI cable conencted to the empty ports on the 4th Rack as the picture above ?
Hi,
Please let me know if I want to use non-HP HDD in D3600, which type of HDD should I use?
Hi
When I was trying to upgrade the MSA P2000 G3 disk array to TS252P005(9 Feb 2017) I received a message to say that
"The firmware update from TS201R014 to TS252P005 cannot continue.Please update to TS250 version using the appropriate Smart Component and re-run this Smart Component."
Therefore I am trying to locate firmware TS250P003 * Online ROM Flash Component for Linux - HPE P2000 G3 MSA Arrays *
I have look everywhere without success, can anyone please help me to locate it. There is a link in the HPE site but when you click download the page does not load.
Thank you
Hi,
I've got a customer with an aging P2000 G3 FC/iscsi system running TS230P006 bundle firmware. I know this is old but the customer does not want anything touching so we just tend to leave it alone and it has been generally problem free for a while. However we got an alert that the self generared SSL certs had expired and needed recreating. Not a problem I thought, 'create certificate unique' should do the trick.
Sadly I can't seem to locate any certifciate commands on this array (show or create), at least not at this level of firmware. I am just using the default 'manage' account. Are these commands 'missing' from this rev of firmware and if so is there an alternative method for recreating a self-signed certificate on the array?
thanks
Adam.
Hi,
Hope I'm posting this in the right area!
I'm running an ML330 G6, Windows 2008 SP2
It has a Smart Array P410, No Battery/Cache.
4x 250GB drives in 2x RAID 1.
Latest Driver for this 2008 Server (NOT R2), latest firmware - 6.64.
If I replace each drive, one by one (allowing RAID to rebuild in between) with 500GB or 1TB disks, is there a way of expanding the Logical drive, even if it means booting to Smart Start? I know I need the Cache and battery if I'm to perform an online expand/extend, but can I do this, without the battery/cache, as an Offline task - I'm struggling to find information, despite an extensive search - everythings is telling me I need the battery/cache to do this online - That would be nice... but is it possible to do offline, without the battery/cache?
Alternatively, I'm needing to do this to increase the space available to an Exchange Database, would the Unused space appear (after swapping the drives and waiting for RAID rebuilds), which could be used to create a second Logical Drive (well, 3rd actually!), but second off that RAID 1 set, so I could simply create another 250GB drive in Windows, create a new Exchange Database, and migrate some mailboxes to it - easing the 1st DB's storage usage?
Any advice appreciated!
Thanks, Mark
Hello colleagues.
I have a problem. I have to monitor HP StorageWorks MSA-P2000 G3 (protocol SNMPv2).
I want to monitor:
- Raid status,
- Disk status,
- Volumes status,
- Enclosure Status
But I can’t find required MIBs or OIDs.
Give me OIDs, MIBs or guide, please
Thanks.
Hi Everybody. I have a big problem.
After i attach new storage to serwer i've lost my previous storage. All disk are unassigned and there is no any logical drive.
I have a serwer on windows 2k12r2, with p812 controller. I have attached D2600 storage (sas) with 12 600gb 15k disk (raid 50 with 2 spare) for speed, and today i try to connect next D2600 (move from other server) with 32tb of data (slower). After i attach this second storage and after restart - i don't see my first logic disk, only unassigned 600gb disks.
Is there any possibility to restore this configuration? I think only metadata was lost, not entire data?
Thank you very much for your help.
Lukas.
In my Proliant ml350G4 are connected in the backplane (backplane 366862-001) connected to a Smart Array 641 controller of 6 scsi hard disks only the two upper, what can be the reason? All hard drives are ok. When starting, all hard disks light up briefly, then only the two upper hard disks start, then no LED lights up. Also in the configuration one sees only the two upper hard disks. What can be the reason?
Hi,
Today I have a technician who add a new disk on a raid 5 and he migrate the RAID 5 to RAID 6 ADG.
He made a mistake because we need to ADD a disk to the existing RAID 5 to have more space available.
At this time the server is in production and I want to know if it is possible to migrate to RAID 5 wihout data lost.
The option is selectable in Smart Storage Administrator
Thank you for your ASAP response.
Kind regards
Vincent.
Hi,
We have MSA which is part of large filesytem of 40 TB. We have poberved that one of the disks is shown as LEFTOVER (1.6) disk with health is Degraded and error as " A previously missing disk has been detected. Recommended action: Refer to 'Troubleshooting Steps for Leftover Drives' in the HP MSA2000/P2000 Guided Troubleshooting Best Practices."
Other disk is failed with excessive medium error. It happened simulteneously. It is RAID 5 with one hot spare (10d+1P+1sp). Now the state of the VDISK is QTOF and it goes for continuous reconstruction. Once the so called reconstruction is finished (100 %), it start again with 1% and it just goes on. What show be done in this situation?
Please help
Hi,
We have lustre filesystem with OSTs as HP P2000 G3 MSAs. The vdisk is now in offline state due to multiple disks failures. We want to use trust command to take out the data. HOw can we do that, as this MSA is part of lustre fs which is block level data striping. How to take data backup usng trust and restore it in case of lustre filesystem?

Pankaj
We have Windows Server 2008 R2 cluster on MSA2312fc
The shared disks became not visible affter reboot servers. There are disks in Divce Manager, but threre aren't in mapped disk and button "online" is disabled( see image).
I roll back last windows updates, but it does not help
I used DISKPART SAN -policy=OnlineAll, but it does not help too
Furthermore, I can't expand volume in Stogage Managment Utility.
A button "expand volume" is disabled, although there are free space (see image)
Help please!
Hi,
One of the vdisks (HP P2000 G3) is in OFFL state due to multiple disk LEFTOVER. How to take backup of the entire data after using trust command? The vdisk is part of distibuted filesystem (block level stripped data).

Pankaj
Good day,
I have noticed that we have some management USB ports on the some D3600/D3700 disk enclosures (1 per controller), these are currently not connected to anything, I can't find any documentation for these.
When connected unknown devices appear 'Quad RS232-HS' appear and if I run the HP Smart Update Manager (7.6.0) no drivers are identified for this.
Does anyone know how I set this up and take advantage of these management ports?
Thanks,
I have an MSA 1040 connected to one host on Port 1A and 1B connected by FB. The enclosure has two arrays setup. One array has one volume that is mapped to all 4 ports. I would like to create a new volume on the 2nd array and map it to ports 2A and 2B. Since the fist volume was mapped to all 4 ports but only two are needed what is the best way to reconfigure the MSA? Do I need to explicity remapped the first volume so that it only mappes to 1A and 1B and then create the new volume and map it to 2A and 2B? I think when the first volume was set it it should not have been mapped to all four ports but it is. Can this be undone without any corruption or data loss?
Thank you for any help.
Hi All,
I've just installed HP Storage D2600 Disk Enclosure that is filled with 12x 3 TB disks, to be used as backup server.
Mostly the file size will be very large greater than 1 GB up to 4-6 TB.
The File system will be NTFS, so I wonder here if anyone can assist me with the best practice for configuring the LUN for the RAID stripe size as per below:
Thanks in advance.

People,
I'm trying to reconfigure the Strip Size / Full Stripe Size of an existing LUNs, but somehow I've found something that is confusing.
In some of the Logical Drive I mark with the red, when you click on those two logical drives in the screenshot below, the Delete Logical Drive is missing ?
But when you click on the Logical Drive 3 as shown above, the delete button is there.
Does this also means when I need to change the Strip Size / Full Stripe Size of Logical Drive 1,2 and 3 I will need to delete all of them destroying all of the data ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Hi People,
I have attached few D2600 and D2700 DAS to my HP DL 385 G7 using P411, but somehow all of the File System Info shows:
command: fsutil fsinfo ntfsinfo D:
Bytes Per Physical Sector <Not supported>
So I wonder what is the type of the disks in those DAE ?
Thanks in advance.
Hi People,
I've noticed that in my Storage Controller settings in the Smart Storage Admin, the Cache is not enabled ?
If I just click on enabled is there any outage or data loss ?
The reason I enable it is because I need to improve the prformance of my RAID 5 LUNs.
Thanks in advance.
