Servers - Rebuilding multi DDD drives across more than one array
Applicable to: World-Wide
Source: RETAIN tip H166102
Abstract:
Rebuilding multi DDD drives across more than one array.
Symptom:
Problem isolation aids:
The system is any of the following IBM servers:
The system is configured with one (1) or more of the following:
The system has multiple DDD drives.
The system has multiple arrays.
The system has Hot Swap Rebuild enabled.
The system has one of the DDD drives located at Channel 1, Drive ID 0.
All Firmware levels prior to and including 3.11 for the ServeRAID III, 2.88 for the ServeRAID II and onboard controllers, and 2.25 for the ServeRAID I.
The system's diagnostics pass.
Fix:
- This problem will be fixed in next BIOS/Firmware release.
- The target date for the release is scheduled for: May/June, 1999.
- It will be available from the following URL: http://www.pc.ibm.com/searchfiles.html Search on ServeRAID BIOS
Workaround:
In order to avoid this problem, do NOT replace the Channel 1, Drive ID 0 DDD drive first. Rebuild the other drive (wherever it might be), and upon its successful conclusion rebuild the DDD drive at Channel 1, Drive ID 0.
Details:
The default Hot Swap Rebuild program will look to rebuild to Channel 1, Drive ID 0. If multiple logical drives are in a Critical state, then they all will attempt to rebuild to the Channel 1, Drive ID 0 at the same time.
