Hey there,

the second question today, sorry for that J

I did attach two DS4243 shelves to a FAS3240HA system today and followed all the instructions, the shelf firmware has been updated in this process and everything looks good as far as I can tell, I can see the 6 shelves now on both controllers, all shelves are multi path ready, disks are visible, etc.

One controller shows its health status as OK but the other one shows degraded:

robin> system health status show

Status

---------------

Degraded

The reason for that seems to be:

               Node: robin

           Resource: Disk 0a.06.10

           Severity: Major

     Probable Cause: Disk 0a.06.10 does not have two paths to controller

                     robin but the containing disk shelf 6 does have two

                     paths. Disk 0a.06.10 may be faulty.

    Possible Effect: Access to disk 0a.06.10 via controller robin will be

                     lost with a single hardware component failure (e.g.

                     cable, HBA, or IOM failure).

Corrective Actions: 1. Reseat disk 0a.06.10 following the rules in the Installation and Service Guide.

                     2. Wait six minutes for the alert condition to clear.

                     3. If reseating disk 0a.06.10 fails to clear the alert condition, replace disk 0a.06.10.

                     4. Wait six minutes for the alert condition to clear.

                     5. Contact support personnel if the alert persists.

48 entries were displayed.

There are exactly 48 entries in the log for all the new 48 disks I added to the systems. If it would really be a disk or shelf fault, I guess I should see these errors on the second controller too, but I cannot see them there.

Any ideas what I could to now to diagnose this issue further? I think the usual problems like broken cables, etc. can be ruled out since the second controller is not showing these issues, right?

Thanks in advance,

bye,
