HPE P2000 G3 Service Manual

Replacing a Failed Disk

  1. Remove the failed drive, and replace with the new one.

  2. Connect to the web cosole of the storage array. Select the MSA > Provisioning > Manage Global Spares.

    Manage Global Spares

    Also you can Managing dedicated spares | for a vdisk.

  3. Tick the replacement drive > Modify Spares

    Modify Spares

    Note: If you cannot see the drive, and/or it is flagged LEFTOVR it may have metadata on it that needs removing.

  4. That’s it, the vdisk that had the failed drive will 'claim' the spare and rebuild, this may take a little time. After this process is finished, the vdisk will carry out a 'Media Scub' job.

Clear Disk Metadata

The 'new' drive was marked as LEFTOVR and was flagged with the following warning:

The Disk May contain Stale Metadata

The disk may contain stale metadata. Recommended action: Clear the metadata to rescue the disk.

You see this error because this is a 'recycled' disk, and it still has data on it that refers to the array and/or vdisk that it was in originally. This is the 'metadata' that it is referring to.

Note: From the image above, the disk will be dealing with is disk 8 (make a mental note of that).

  1. With the MSA Selected > Tools > Clear Disk Metadata.

    Clear Disk Metadata

  2. Remember our disk is in in slot 8, so tick it and click clear metadata.

    Clear Metadata

  3. You can now treat this disk as if it were a new disk and add it as a global spare, the failed vdisk will then claim the disk and the RAID should rebuild it without further intervention.

The Virtaul Disk State is QTOF

机房断电设备重启后，硬盘状态正常，多个 VD 变成 QTOF 状态如下：

在执行 rescan 之后，多个磁盘被找回，VD 恢复 FTOL。但是 vd01 上面还是有 4 块盘是 leftover 的状态。

右键点击 vd01，选择 Tools -> Dequarantine Vdisk 按照指示解除 vd01 的隔离。
然后去命令行看 vd01 的状态会变成 OFFL。

然后再到命令行执行 trust 命令，将 VD 恢复为 FTOL 状态。

据 HP 称，这样操作可能导致数据丢失。另外 HP 建议观察几天，没有问题的话升级一下固件。
