HP in this case is Hewlett-Packard
Actually one bad disk - disk 065 - caused it. These storage arrays typically cost $250-$500k and are not meant to fail like this.
Uh-oh... I'm thinking a fund raiser is in order! But, maybe you'll accept a payment-in-kind? Maybe a pair of Altec Model 19's...Originally posted by John Nebel

"Indeed, not!!"
Bo,
... except JBL speakers
Not to worry, there is a spare cab sitting right next to it.

Losing one disk shouldn't be a problem unless you were running raid0, right ? I would think most of these arrays default to raid5 to at least give you some level of fault-tolderance. At least the EMC Clariions we use do...

jblnut,
What you say is true, however, the controllers thought an entire disk shelf failed which would be OK in itself, except that a disk on another shelf really had failed.
Additionally the controllers thought that a pair - one on each controller - of loop ports had failed.
What the controllers thought happened was unrecoverable - what actually happened was just about trivial.
I'll be happy when these things are obsolete which will mean that they really work.

this afternoon at about 3 PM (in germany) I wondered about the missing link to the forum.......now it's clear.
Thanks again for your support for this site.

Please help us save more info about the vintage systems. Let us register your speakers and drivers.
Hi John!
Thanks for doing a great job with the disk arrays and you continued diligence in trying to find the problem.
Once again Thanks!!
