Hot spares failed for MacPro ?

I have a MacPro(10.6.8). One OS disk, two data disks configured in RAID1 and one Hot spare.
Last week it seemed one disk in RAID1 failed, but hot sapres disk could not be started being rebuild.
I rebooted the MacProc, but X Windows could not be started. Since I could login to it with SSH, but I counld not display raid status with diskutil tool.
When I removed HotSpares disk and rebooted again, all seems OK and diskuitl showed me one disk in RAID1 failed. I replaced it with hotspares disk, it began to rebuild automatically.
Afterwards I checked the failed disk with GUI diskutil, no error report was found.
Is it required to remove failed disk at first or
is there a bug in diskutil?
Please help me !

I am using DPM 2012 R2, what finally worked to me to resolve my problem with EUR was to:
In DPM I disabled EUR
In Computer Management delete all DPM Shares (\\?\c:\Program Files\...)
Using ADSI edit go to CN=MS-ShareMapConfiguration,CN=System,DC=X,DC=Y (Replace X & Y for your domain)
Delete all of the mappings within the container
In DPM enable EUR
In DPM on a protection group I created a new recovery point and selected “Only synchronize (available only for file data)”

300 GB disk as hot spare for 146 gb disk in stk 6140

Hi,
Does any body know this for sure?
Customer plans to buy new tray with 300 gb fc disks.
Also hey have old tray with 146 gb disks.
They want to assign two 300 gb disks as hot spares for old 146 gb and for new 300gb disks.
Will it work?
If you can confirm that this works, does this depends on firmware revision or CAM version or something else?
Thanks in advance!

I have not seen this work but It's my understanding that hot spares are "array spares" and that a larger drive can be a spare for a smaller drive.
Glen

Hot Spare Definition thru CAM for 2540?

Sorry to be an idiot but CAM was not working on my laptop when i was trying to install the array but haven't been able to find in the documentation where Hot Spares are configured? Once back onsite I'll reload CAM and use teh Online Help...hoping it's in there...
thanks

forget this one...got the answer i needed...

Raid- Understanding "Hot Spare" and Windows reinstall - Final Steps

Hello all,
If you follow couple of my other recent threads here you will see I have a warning of a failing drive in my 4 tb raid (4 x 1TB raid set.)
Also for an unrelated reason I am also needing to reinstall Windows 7. (and of course my Adobe Master collection CS5)
I ordered a 5th drive to serve as "Hot Spare" and it will be arriving sometime today from Amazon.
I want to make sure I do the above "final steps" properly, in the correct order.
I am basing my "final steps" based on Harm's advice on another thread:
>>>
You can never be too safe with data, but if you follow the hot-spare, extend raid set and rebuild sequence, it is not necessary. Your data will be reconsructed automatically. That is the reason you use a raid3/5.
Your log file is a definite show of a serious disk problem. Replace it, create a hot-spare, extend your raid set and rebuild (it should be done automatically) and you are ready to roll
>>>>
(As a precaution I have done a backup of my raid, to an external drive)
So once my new hard drive arrives today from Amazon, I will, in the following order:
1) Replace failing hard drive. (Do I need to power down the computer to remove the failing hard drive and replace it with the hot spare? Or can I leave the computer powered on so that the raid software can continue its CONSISTANCY CHECK while II do all of the steps to rebuild the raid --- see note at bottom of this post...)
2) Create hot-spare
3) Use the Raid controller software (Areca) to EXTEND HOT SPARE
4) Rebuild raid (it should be done automatically)
THEN, after I confirm that the raid is working okay, I will
5) Reinstall Windows 7.
THe below step is what I am not entirely clear on:
6) I assume since the raid has already been rebuilt {before I did the windows 7 reinstall) I can do a very straightforward "reconnect" to the already working raid. In other words, I would reinstall the Areca raid software (using the Areca cd) and identify the raid and windows 7 will recognize the 4 tb raid as my raid drive.
I am tracking the delivery of my new hard drive and it is at least 5 or 6 hours away from arriving from Amazon.
**** CONSISTANCY NOTE: I the meantime I am having the Areca web based controller software do a CONSISTANCY check of the raid.
It is half way through the check and has found 144 errors so far. The consistancy check is rather vague about what it is doing. But can I assume that it is finding the errors and will automatically fix them.
Or do I have to do something to fix the errors once the consistancy check is finished (This is one reason why I would like to avoid powering down during the rebuilding of the raid.) Or will creating the hot spare, etc interrupt the consistancy check, meaning I must finish the consistancy check completley before rebuilding the raid.
Or should I abort the consistancy check and do that after I reinstall windows. (If possible I would like to do that so I can get on with the editing of my current project!!)
WHEW!

6.6.5 Check Volume Set
To check a volume set from a RAID set:
(1). Click on the “Check Volume Set” link.
(2). Click on the volume set from the list that you wish to check.
Tick on “Confirm The Operation” and click on the “Submit” button.
Use this option to verify the correctness of the redundant data in
a volume set. For example, in a system with dedicated parity, volume
set check means computing the parity of the data disk drives
and comparing the results to the contents of the dedicated parity
disk drive. The checking percentage can also be viewed by clicking
on “RAID Set Hierarchy” in the main menu.
Directly from the Areca 1600 series Manual. I would let that finish.

Hot spare

Should I leave a drive out of the raid setup to create a Hot Spare? Hot Spare?are automatically added if a drive goes down right?

> Should I leave a drive out of the raid setup to create a Hot Spare?
Should you? That's up to you to decide based on a number of factors including how long you're prepared to run with a failed drive in thebox, how much storage you need (if you can afford to lose one (or two) disks' worth of storage).
> Hot Spare?are automatically added if a drive goes down right?
Correct. If a drive fails and you have a hot spare then the RAID automatically initiates a rebuid on the spare. This can take some time, especially for large arrays, during which time you risk losing your data should another drive fail.
If you don't have a hot spare then you need to manually replace the drive. This adds an extra amount of time to the window where you risk losing data, ranging from minutes (you notice straight away and have a spare disk sitting on a shelf) to days (you're away on vacation and don't notice).
FWIW, in all the XServe RAIDs I've run for years I've had one single disk failure.

Hot spare and identifying volumes to drives.

I have a fully populated Xserve RAID with 500GB drives. I set each side up to use 6 of the drives in RAID5. I left one drive to be used as a hot spare for each side. Now, how does that work if a drive from a RAID goes south? Will the controllor automaticly start rebuilding the data on that drive? How does the controller know to use the drive? I haven't touched the drive in the RAID admin at all.
Second question. I have a second Xserve RAID with two 250GB drives on each controller. Not thinking I set up the two drives one each side as RAID0 at the same time. Of course I need to be able to identify which volumes belong to which set of disks. Is there a way to do this with disk utility? I really don't want to have to reformat these things just to identify which is which. Thanks.

David,
Hot spare use is automatic. Any drive not part of a RAID set is automatially used as a hot spare. So if a drive fails, the RAID set will start being built on the hot spare immediately.
On the second question... how about just disconnecting one of the fibre cables, then you'll know with 100% certainty which one you're formatting. Once you've done that, you can reconnect the second side and format it. Simple, but it will work

Dedicated Hot Spare vs Global Hot Spare

Hi,
Is there an order of preference in which a spare is "put into service" (a drive fails)? Here's my TS430 w/ RAID 500 card:
Two arrays:
SATA RAID 1 with dedicated hotspare for OS/boot
SAS RAID 10 with global hotspare for SQL 2008
I was unaware that one could not assign a single dedicated hotspare to a RAID 10 array. It appears that RAID 10 dedicated spares can only be assigned to each Span of the RAID 1 - this makes a total of 6 drives.
Since there isn't room in the hotswap bay for 9 drives, I have made the spare SAS drive as a global spare.
Can I assume if one of the SATA RAID drives fail, it looks at the dedicated hotspare assigned to the array 1st or solely? I know that I can not mix the SATA and SAS drives across an array, but I suspect that the SATA RAID will look at the dedicated hotspare only.
Thanks!
Al

Mirrors & Hot Spares

Relativley new to Solaris 10.
I have 5 identical disks (75GB) on my system and I have the following setup:
disk1: /
disk2: /data
disk1 is mirrored to disk3, disk2 is mirrored to disk4. I managed to get the mirroring done first time, however what I would like to do is have some sort of automated process to have the 5th disk (disk5) substitute in for any other disk that fails.
I guess it is something to do with Hot Spare Pools but I am not sure where to start with it.
I did all the mirroring with command line tools (metainit, metattach, etc...).
If anyone can please point me in the right direction that would be appreciated.

This may seem a silly question but have you checked the Sun online docs at:
<http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-4520/6manpielm?a=view>
which seem to pretty good at describing how to set up the hot spares and then associate them with slices.
cheers

When to replace drives, and when does the hot-spare kick in?

Here's the situation: got an e-mail today from the RAID (no it wasn't a love letter), which alerted me to a ten-times repeated ERROR: 0x10, STATUS: 0x51 on drive 8
I then proceded to check through the log, and found from a while back (mysteriously I never received an e-mail even though it said it had sent one!) ERROR: 0x40, STATUS: 0x51
which were however only single/double incidents, not repeated 10 times like this latest error.
Despite these errors, the drives show up as "OK" in RAID Admin, and the hot spare drives seem not to have been activated.
The question is now, should I get these drives replaced ASAP, or if the RAID lists the drives as OK is everything fine and dandy? (not sure how to take a "non-recoverable error 0x40" and reconcile that with a drive status of OK)
Ronald

Nobody's got any answers? Bummer! The Apple manual says really nothing useful about how to aAsSsSeEsSsS error messages and when to replace drives, etc.
It's nice to sell to people that a RAID-5 will keep the data safe, but that only works if one knows what to make of the error messages.
I shouldn't have to spend another $1k for a tech support contract, just to learn what things mean that should be explained in the tech docs...
Ronald
PS: will someone tell Apple's PC watchdog that aAsSsSeEsSsS has nothing to do with aAsSsS? AaSsSsEeSsSsMmEeNnTt is a technical term, yet it wouldn't want to let me post the message because it contained aAsSsSeEsSsS! What's next? Soon we can't use the word RAID anymore, because it's refers to undesirable violence...
Someone please pick up a dictionary, in Tiger there's both a regular app and a widget to do so, so it shouldn't be that hard...

MD3200i Shutdown with a Hot Spare in operation

I have to shutdown our MD3200 to make some network modifications tied- iSCSI and vCenter (replacing a switch)
One of the MD3200 drives failed and the hot spare is being used (RAID 5).
Is it safe to bring down the Md3200 while the hot spare is in operation ?
thanks

Hello SJNAPL,
If the drive failed a few months back then it has most likely been copied to the hotspare. You should be able to use MDSM & go to the Physical Tab & select the hotspare drive & it will list the drive that it is covering.
Once you get your replacement drive and insert it into your MD3200i the MD will sense the drive & should start the copy back to the replacement drive. Now the time that it will take is hard to say as it depends on the size of the drive and how much activity is on the virtual disk.
Once the replacement disk has the data from the hotspare then the hotspare should go back to being a hotspare drive again & you can view this also in the summary window of MDSM& the Physical Tab as well.
Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Why is hot spare in use while disk state is Okay

In my Solaris 10 RAID-5 volume, metastat shows the hot spare in use, but all the disks' state is Okay. Why is this? I do suspect the first disk was bad at one time, and may have been pulled out and re-inserted in without issuing any solaris commands. Please help explain why, and how to recover from this situation.

Thanks for the suggestion. Tried "metahs -e ...". "Hotspare isn't broken, can't enable".
Tried "metareplace -e ...", "d10: device ... enabled" It's currently in sync'ing mode. I guess drive 380 was pulled out and reinserted at one point without issuing the metareplace command.

T2000 -Solaris 10 - Hardware Raid - Hot Spare

Hi,
i am setting up a t2000 server with Solaris 10. I have booted to single user mode through the network and am setting up the mirroring. (ie #raidctl -c c0t0d0 c0t1d0).
This has worked fine.
How does one go about setting up a disk to be a hot spare to this mirror. I found some docs on running raidctl -a set -g c0t3d0 c0t0d0 but the -a option no longer seems to be valid????
Is it possible to set up a hot spare like this?
Thanks,
Darren

The hardware raid supports either mirrors or stripes. I don't believe hot spare is an option. Typically you would use a hot spare for a raid 5 configuration. Check out this doc page for more info:

Where is hot spare status "stand by(5)"? Using "raidctl" command we get these lines:
head1 > raidctl get type=lsi target=profile ctlr=0
........<cut>...........
Total hot spare drives: 1
Standby: 1
In use: 0
........<cut>...........
Why SNMP can't get hot spare status? Where to report this issue? Thanks in advice.

Thanks.
To answer your question, the disk FW upgrade doesn't erase/destroy the data. However the disk FW upgrade can ONLY be done while there is NO IO activity, hence you need to stop the IO before proceeding with such upgrade.
As for the FW, it seems that your drive has the FW 0892 which is a newer FW than what your CAM version has (0791). The FW 0891 was supported with CAM 6.0 + patches. Starting from CAM 6.1.0_15 we introduced the FW 0B92.
The recommendation is to upgrade CAM to 6.4.1, then you will get an alarm because your drive will have 0892 whereas CAM brings 0B92, however you can plan a maintenance window at your convenience in order to upgrade the drive FW.

20070528154729 - csstoredExit: Exiting with [-1].any hint?

long time ago, in a galaxy far away...
i discovered that csstored.pl doesn't play very well with spanish locale (not sure with other locale).
if i launch /opt/SUNWics5/cal/sbin/start-cal with this locale
LANG=es_ES.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=es_ES.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC=es_ES.UTF-8
LC_TIME="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE=es_ES.UTF-8
LC_MONETARY=es_ES.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES=es.UTF-8
LC_ALL=
i get the error described before. the i just reset LANG and LC_ALL to C and all goes well.
thanks to truss for the inspiration.
