Once the drive has been replaced, the 3Par **should in the background** run an admitpd automatically for you. locatecage -t 300 cage0 15 enables the flashing locate light for 5 minutes for the failed drive that is being referenced in this HOWTO).
300), and Y in cageY is the cage number shown above, and ZZ is the magazine number to locate (i.e. To do this, run: locatecage -t XX cageY ZZ where TT is time in seconds (i.e. When the HPE field engineer arrives onsite with the replacement disk, you may need to turn on the locate light on the failed drive for him. Below is what you will see once the servicemag process has finished.īefore continuing, verify there is no data left on the drive by running: showpd -space 15
To check the status / progress of the servicemag command, run: servicemag statusĪs you can see above, 4 chunklets (1GB blocks of disk space) have been moved off the drive so far, with another 107 chunklets (107 GB) to evacuate. To evacuate the data, run this command: servicemag start -pdid 15 and answer yes when prompted if you are sure you want to run it. As you can see from the example, this drive still has data on it (again because the drive in this example is only degraded, not failed – my experience is that typically failed drives have 0, 0, 0, 0 for volume, spare, free, and unavailable, while failed is usually equal to the size). You need to check that all columns other than size and failed are zero. Using the output shown below, double check there is no data left on the drive. Now we want to see if the data has been evacuated off the drive already by running this command: showpd -space 15 (where 15 is the drive ID that needs replaced). If servicemag is not running, you will see: No servicemag operations logged. Next, see if servicemag has been issued or is running with: servicemag status
This should show you the failed drive and it’s ID (in the example below, the drive hasn’t totally failed, but rather is just degraded due to an internal loop error in the drive, so it needs replaced).

Replacing a failed 3Par drive isn’t quite the same as replacing a failed Proliant Smart Array controller drive – there are a few manual steps that need done to facilitate the replacement process, which I am going to detail below (note – I’m using a StoreServ 7200, based on OS 3.2.1 MU2 as my reference in this post).įirst, SSH (via Putty) the 3PAR’s management IP and login as 3paradm (remember the username and password are case-sensitive).Īt the 3PAR_SN# cli% prompt, type: showpd -failed -degraded HPE 3Pars are great arrays, but just like any other storage system, they do occasionally end up suffering a failed hard drive.
