HP Smart Array Disk Mounting(?) help

I have just installed Solaris 10 (x86) on a HP Proliant DL380 G4, this involved applying the driver updates for the RAID controller to allow the Solaris install to work (there have been lots of posts about the RAID controller driver being required for the install to work)
The machine has two raid controllers the onboard 6i controller and the additional HP 6400 controller we've added to hook up the Smart Array disks
I need to know how to mount or add or configure the disks in the smart array. I think i have the driver installed for the 6400 raid controller but the next step i am not sure of. The BIOS let me configure the discs to be a RAID 5 and I was expecting to see the discs in Solaris.
Is anyone able to offer a suggestion ?
Having a HP server with a Smart Array / Storage Works device should be fairly common but Google hasn't turned up anything useful.
Further information (may or may not be useful).
In the Server BIOS i have the following information for the disk array controller:
Logical Drive #1 RAID 5 1955.8GB
Direct Attached Storage
Controller HP Smart Array 6400, Slot 3
The individual disks are (i have 8 in total):
SCSI Port 1, ID 0
SCSI Port 1, ID 1
SCSI Port 1, ID 2
SCSI Port 1, ID 3
SCSI Port 1, ID 4
SCSI Port 1, ID 5
SCSI Port 1, ID 8
SCSI Port 2, ID 0
I don't know what happened to SCSI Port 1 ID 6 and 7.
In /dev/dsk/ i have quite a few disks listed but htey don't seem to map onto the 8 disks, or the one disk logical disk i was expecting solaris to see.
I thought my disk would be something like
c1t0d0 - is the disk which Solaris install found (i think)
c2t0d0 - this is a symbolis link to devices/pci@0,0/pci8086,3599@6/pci8086,329@0/pci1014,la7@2/pciell,409c@4/sd0@0:wd
Is this my second disk ??

[SOLVED] Unable to boot after last upgrade [HP Smart Array]

Hello guys.
After last upgrade I'm unable to boot. I have fileserver with 2 discs in HP Smart Array RAID 1.
While booting, kernel is unable to find my raid (should be cciss) and therefore lvm2 hook fails to find root partition. While going into recovery, I can chroot without an issue, lsmod shows that cciss driver is properly loaded, disk exits in /dev/cciss/, logical group and volumes are detected properly.
No matter what I do, I just can't get cciss module into kernel. Putting in MODULES in mkinitcpio.conf's MODULES="" didn't help. I'm listing my initramfs images and there is no cciss.ko. I'm also searching for module in my filesystem and can not find it.
Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you for your quick reply.

Of course, no change.

Second, after editing /etc/mkinitcpio.conf you need to regenerate your initramfs.
# mkinitcpio -p linux
But the MODULES section needs to have something in there...
Here's mine:
MODULES="pata_amd sata_nv ehci-hcd ohci-hcd ext2 ext3 ext4 vfat snd-hda-intel"
You probably need "mdadm" or "mdadm_udev" in there too, I'm not sure... I don't use RAID, but maybe these will help:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mk … Using_RAID
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/So … ID_and_LVM
HP Smart Array is hardware RAID, therefore I don't need mdadm. Right module should be cciss, but this is somehow not working. Adding this into MODULES does not add cciss module to image.
When I'm booting from Arch install for recovery and chroot, cciss is loaded and my HP Smart Array disk is visible.

HP Proliant 0 Storage Works Disk Array Mounting help

I am a Solaris newbie so please bear with me while i try to explain the problem.
I have just installed Solaris 10 (x86) on a HP Proliant DL380 G4, this involved applying the friver updates for the RAID controller to allow the Solaris install to work.
The machine has two raid controllers the onboard 6i controller and the additional 6400 controller we've added (it's a PCI SCSI controller) to hook up the Storage Works (used to be called Smart Array with Compaq).
Now, i can only see my disks in the server itself and need to know how to mount or add or configure the disks in the storage array. I think i have the driver installed for the 6400 raid controller but the next step i am not sure of.
Is anyone able to offer a suggestion ?

Smart Array P800 Controller Accelerator issue

Hello there.
We are running a DL180 G6 with a Smart Array P800 disc controller and 8 harddrives in RAID 5.
When logging into the server using HP System Management Homepage it states that the 'Accelerator' is disabled, and this accelerator have brought us lots of grief.
This particular disc controller are using two batteries to power a disk cache, and initially we interpreted this issue as coming from faulty batteries and replaced the first one, and then both.
This did not address the error message.
As that did not address it we have since then done the following:
Verified configuration
Cleared IML
Upgraded BIOS
Upgraded iLO
Upgraded HP server firmware+drivers
Upgraded centos
Restarting the server and booting to it using ACU:

cciss is now part of the main linux kernel and should be upgraded with a yum update
The latest HP Service Pack for Proliant (2014.02.0B) is installed
The latest BIOS is installed (2013.07.01 A)
The iLO software is updated to the latest firmware (4.26)
A yum update have been issued.
Neither of the above have addressed the issue.
The only time this error message is cleared is shortly after a reboot - but it then re-occurs approx one day later.
Have anyone else experienced this issue or have any information in regards to how to fix it?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Some basic HP Smart Array questions

Hopefully a simple answer to what seems to be a fairly simple question...
If, for example, you have a P800 HP Smart Array with 24 disks and a spare and you want to partition a number of database files across drives to maximise I/O performance (the transaction log file is heavy on writes and the other data and index files are heavy on reads), would it be better to:-
a) Use the 24/25 disks to create one SAS Array and three logical drives:-
SAS Array A with spare - 3 Logical drives
     Logical Drive 1 (1200 Gb, RAID 1+0)
     Logical Drive 2 (1200 Gb, RAID 1+0)
     Logical Drive 3 (1200 Gb, RAID 1+0)
b) Use the 24 disks to create three SAS arrays each with one Logical Drive:-
SAS Array A & Logical Drive 1  (1200 Gb, RAID 1+0)
SAS Array B & Logical Drive 1 (1200 Gb, RAID 1+0)
SAS Array C & Logical Drive 1  (1200 Gb, RAID 1+0)
Not sure how the Spare disk fits into Option B?
Anyway, if the objective is to maximize I/O performance, is it Option A or B?
The phrase, 'logical drive'... Does this mean that I/O is partitioned at the logical drive level or does the HP Smart array controller spread the I/O across the SAS Array? If I look at I/O counters (eg. Perfmon on Windows Server), I can see that Logical drives as in Option A seem to be separated completely as one logical drive could have a disk queue and other logical drives on top of the same SAS array will not have a disk queue.  What are the prose and cons of Option A and B? Understanding these issues will help me to come up with the right configuration in terms of arrrays and logical drives.
Thanks in advance,
Clive

Known disk-mounting fault on iPod Video 80GB?

Is there a known disk mounting fault with the iPod Video 80GB?
I’m running iTunes Version 7.0.1.8 and have so far had two brand new 80GB iPod Video devices, purchased from a registered New Zealand reseller (TotallyMac.com).
Both iPods have successfully loaded my music library and have played perfectly, both on headphones and on my iPod hi-fi. However, when I subsequently plug the iPod into any of the USB 2 ports on my laptop, the iPod does not show up as a device in My Computer, File Explorer or in iTunes.
I’m running Windows XP, Service Pack 2.
The problem also occurs on a second PC – the iPod refuses to show as a device in My Computer, Windows File Explorer or in iTunes. However, it does show up in Device Manager, and the ‘Safely Remove Hardware’ icon shows on the Windows status bar when the iPod is connected. Even so, when the iPod is safely ejected, the iPod screen continues to show ‘Do Not Disconnect’, so the only way to safely eject the iPod is to reset it on the iPod.
I’ve tried restarting the computer, putting the iPod into disk mode and so on. Unfortunately, none of the advice on the Apple website for iPods that refuse to mount helps me – because I can’t get the iPod to appear as a device anywhere on my computer, I can’t rename the Drive Volume (to another letter instead of ‘E:’) or restore the iPod to factory settings.
I can’t help thinking that Apple has created a ‘Catch 22’ situation by removing the iPod Updater option in iTunes 7 – none of the previous versions of iPod Updater is compatible with iTunes 7, meaning it’s impossible for people who have a Disk Mount problem to restore their iPods. If you can’t get the iPod to show up in iTunes, how are you supposed to restore the device or solve disk mounting problems?
There appears to be no other way to restore the device if you’re using iTunes 7.
Why isn’t there a ‘restore’ option in the iPod’s own diagnostics menu, some combination of click-wheel buttons that will allow you to reformat/restore the drive?
My previous (40GB) Fourth-Generation iPod mounts perfectly on both this laptop and another PC, suggesting it is the new iPods that are the problem. Also, as I said, the new iPod fails to mount on the second PC, supporting this theory.
Both faulty iPods have been set to ‘manually update’ and I also ticked the ‘Enable Disk Use’ option and removed the checkmark from ‘Automatically open iTunes’.
It would be good to hear from someone else who has experienced similar difficulties, as I’m by no means a new iPod user and this has both me and the Apple service technicians I’ve spoken to completely stumped. Is it a known problem and, if so, will it be dealt with in future iTunes updates…?
Toshiba P20 Laptop PC Windows XP Pro

Try forcing the iPod into disk mode:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
And then see if you can change the Volume Drive Letter:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93499
If nothing else works, you may want to give this a shot:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302538
Since you did say the iPod continues to show Do Not Disconnect after ejecting it, I'm thinking maybe there's something on your computer that's interfering with the iPod.
Also, when the iPod comes up in Device Manager, does it have any kind of warning on it? You may need to uninstall the iPod's drivers, and then restart the computer with the iPod attached to reinstall it. This may not be the case, though, since the iPod is still showing Do Not Disconnect while it's plugged in.
You may also want to make sure you have the iPod connected to a USB port directly on the rear of the computer, or try a different USB cable.
Also, you might want to try restarting the iPodService

Can't boot into bios due to SMART Hard Disk Error

My hard drive failed and now im getting constant pop ups to replace it
I'm thinking about transfering windows to an external drive until I can replace the internal one but I need access to the bios to set the boot priorty options anytime I use f10 to boot into the bios it's like it's skipped over and gives me the smart hard disk error screen where my only options are to boot into windows or run diagnostics.
I tried running diagnostics but each test resulted in an instant failure.

Yes take out hard drive and connect it to another PC. Get help from your service manual for procedure for taking it out:
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02659236
Adapter, something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Anker®-Converter-Adapter-Cable-included/dp/B005B3VO24
For configuring boot order, try this:

HP G62 Notebook has Smart Hard disk error

My HP G62 Notebook PC just stopped in the middle of my doing homework the other day and came up with an error code on the screen. I have went in through the BIOS and ran a hard disk test. It passes the first 2 tests and then fails on the third one.
I have tried to back it up over a month, just in case it was a virus but that doesn't seem to make a difference. Now upon start up it says the following:
"SMART Hard Disk Error
The SMART Hard disk check has detected an imminent failure. To ensure not data loss, please backup the content immediatly and run the Hard Disk Test in System Diagnostics.
Hard Disk 1 (301)"
Does this mean my computer is done? Do I need a new hard drive? I'm definetly not the most tech savvy person. I did see another board where they suggested removing the hard drive and then reinstalling it. This doesn't seem to make a difference. HELP!!

Hi,
The Smart error would indicate that the Hard Drive is failing and needs to be replaced.
If your notebook is still under warranty, contact HP and arrange to have the drive replaced - you can check your warranty status Here.
If you live in the US, contact HP Here.
If you are in another part of the world, start Here.
If you are out of warranty and would like a guide on replacing the Hard Drive yourself, please let me know - include the full Model No. and Product No. of your G62 series notebook - see Here for a further explanation.

My MacBook Pro won't go beyond a white screen, after I pushed the restart button. How can I get it to a login? I have routinely backed it up, but don't know how to bring that up, nor if I have a boot file on that external disk. Help!

My MacBook Pro won't go beyond a white screen, after I pushed the restart button. How can I get it to a login? I have routinely backed it up, but don't know how to bring that up, nor if I have a boot file on that external disk. Help!

Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
To restart an unresponsive computer, press and hold the power button for a few seconds until the power shuts off, then release, wait a few more seconds, and press it again briefly.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a startup failure is to secure the data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since the last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to start. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Start up from the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.” The article refers to starting up from a DVD, but the procedure in Recovery mode is the same. You don't need a DVD if you're running OS X 10.7 or later.
b. If Step 1a fails because of disk errors, and no other Mac is available, then you may be able to salvage some of your files by copying them in the Finder. If you already have an external drive with OS X installed, start up from it. Otherwise, if you have Internet access, follow the instructions on this page to prepare the external drive and install OS X on it. You'll use the Recovery installer, rather than downloading it from the App Store.
c. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
d. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
If the startup process stops at a blank gray screen with no Apple logo or spinning "daisy wheel," then the startup volume may be full. If you had previously seen warnings of low disk space, this is almost certainly the case. You might be able to start up in safe mode even though you can't start up normally. Otherwise, start up from an external drive, or else use the technique in Step 1b, 1c, or 1d to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation.
Step 3
Sometimes a startup failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 4
If a desktop Mac hangs at a plain gray screen with a movable cursor, the keyboard may not be recognized. Press and hold the button on the side of an Apple wireless keyboard to make it discoverable. If need be, replace or recharge the batteries. If you're using a USB keyboard connected to a hub, connect it to a built-in port.
Step 5
If there's a built-in optical drive, a disc may be stuck in it. Follow these instructions to eject it.
Step 6
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can start up now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
Step 7
If you've started from an external storage device, make sure that the internal startup volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Start up in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know the login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
When you start up in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, the startup volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 11. If you ever have another problem with the drive, replace it immediately.
If you can start and log in in safe mode, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the startup process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 8
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select the startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then restart as usual.
Step 9
If the startup device is an aftermarket SSD, it may need a firmware update and/or a forced "garbage collection." Instructions for doing this with a Crucial-branded SSD were posted here. Some of those instructions may apply to other brands of SSD, but you should check with the vendor's tech support.
Step 10
Reinstall the OS. If the Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 11
Do as in Step 9, but this time erase the startup volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically restart into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer the data from a Time Machine or other backup.
Step 12
This step applies only to models that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery: all Mac Pro's and some others (not current models.) Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery, if there is one, is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a startup failure. Typically the failure will be preceded by loss of the settings for the startup disk and system clock. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
Step 13
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

Install solaris 10 on Proliant 1600 - Compaq Smart Array 221

I'm trying to install solaris 10 06/06 on a Proliant 1600 with smart array 221.
I boot from the cd and choose the first option (Solaris), then I get this warning:
WARNING: failed to program IO space [0/20/2] BAR@0x20 length 0x20
and the system hang up.
Does anyone know to what it is related to?

I have the save problem when installing Solaris 10 on my System.

Proliant 1600
Compaq Smart Array 221

It would be nice if somebody could help.
Edit:
The system crashes in the same way when I try to boot the "install check CD 1.1."

FilesystemMountPoints for ufs disks mounted to non-global zones

Hello,
I have a SAN ufs disk to be used as a failover storage, mounted to non-global zones (NGZ).
Solaris 10 nodes using Cluster 3.2
I'm looking for the correct value for the property FilesystemMountPoints and the vfstab entry required for a failover disk mounted to a NGZ.
Should the path NOT include the NGZ root path?
From the man page for SUNW.HAStoragePlus, for the property FilesystemMountPoints:
You can specify both the path in a non-global zone and the path in a global zone, in this format:
Non-GlobalZonePath:GlobalZonePath
The global zone path is optional. If you do not specify a global zone path, Sun Cluster assumes that the path in
the non-global zone and in the global zone are the same. If you specify the path as
Non-GlobalZonePath:GlobalZonePath, you must specify Global-ZonePath in the global zone's /etc/vfstab.
The default setting for this property is an empty list.
You can use the SUNW.HAStoragePlus resource type to make a file system available to a non-global zone. To enable
the SUNW.HAStoragePlus resource type to do this, you must create a mount point in the global zone and in the
non-global zone. The SUNW.HAStoragePlus resource type makes the file system available to the non-global zone
by mounting the file system in the global zone. The resource type then performs a loopback mount in the
non-global zone.
Each file system mount point should have an equivalent entry in /etc/vfstab on all cluster nodes and in all
global zones. The SUNW.HAStoragePlus resource type does not check /etc/vfstab in non-global zones.
SUNW.HAStoragePlus resources that specify local file systems can only belong in a failover resource group
with affinity switchovers enabled. These local file systems can therefore be termed failover file systems. You
can specify both local and global file system mounts points at the same time.
Any file system whose mount point is present in the FilesystemMountPoints extension property is assumed to
be local if its /etc/vfstab entry satisfies both of the following conditions:
1. The non-global mount option is specified.
2. The "mount at boot" field for the entry is set to "no."
In my situation, I want to mount the disk to /mysql_data on the NGZ called ftp_zone. So, which is the correct setup?
a. FilesystemMountPoints=/mysql_data:/zones/ftp_zone/root/mysql_data
Global zone vfstab entry /dev/md/ftpabin/dsk/d110 /dev/md/ftpabin/rdsk/d110 /zones/ftp_zone/root/mysql_data ufs 1 no logging
NGZ mount point /mysql_data
OR
b. FilesystemMountPoints=/mysql_data:/mysql_data (can be condensed to simply /mysql_data)
Global zone vfstab entry /dev/md/ftpabin/dsk/d110 /dev/md/ftpabin/rdsk/d110 /mysql_data ufs 1 no logging
NGZ mount point /mysql_data
Should the path NOT include the NGZ root path?
And should the fsck pass # be 1 or 2?
Looking at this example from p. 26 of
http://wikis.sun.com/download/attachments/24543510/820-4690.pdf
This example doesn't mention the entry in vfstab.
Create a resource group that can holds services in nodea zonex and nodeb zoney
nodea# clresourcegroup create -n nodea:zonex,nodeb:zoney test-rg
Make sure the HAStoragePlus resource is registered
nodea# clresourcetype register SUNW.HAStoragePlus
Now add a UFS [or VxFS] fail-over file system: mount /bigspace1 to failover/export/install in NGZ
nodea# clresource create -t SUNW.HAStoragePlus -g test-rg \
-p FilesystemMountPoints=/fail-over/export/install:/bigspace1 \
ufs-hasp-rs
Thank you!

Hi,
/zones/oracle-z is my root directory of the zone.
* add the device to the zone :
root@mpbxapp1 # zonecfg -z oracle-z
zonecfg:oracle-z> add device
zonecfg:oracle-z:device> set match=/dev/global/dsk/d12s0
zonecfg:oracle-z:device> end
zonecfg:oracle-z> add device
zonecfg:oracle-z:device> set match=/dev/global/rdsk/d12s0
zonecfg:oracle-z:device> end
zonecfg:oracle-z> exit
* add FS to NGZ's /etc/vfstab : ( You may omit this step, I don't know why but it works without this step :) )
root@mpbxapp1 # vi /zones/oracle-z/root/etc/vfstab
/dev/global/dsk/d12s0 /dev/global/rdsk/d12s0 /global/oracle ufs 1 no logging
* add FS to global zone's /etc/vfstab :
root@mpbxapp1 # vi /etc/vfstab
/dev/global/dsk/d12s0 /dev/global/rdsk/d12s0 /zonefs/oracle ufs 1 no logging
* set the FilesystemMountPoints property :
root@mpbxapp1 # /usr/cluster/bin/clresource set -p FilesystemMountPoints=/global/oracle:/zonefs/oracle oracle-hastp
Whit this configuration you may ensure that the FS is not directly accessible from master zone. Actually, it's accessible but with a different PATH. For example, for Oracle, from the master zone Oracle can not be started/stopped because the controlfile can not be accessed. :)
Hope this helps,
Murat

Disk Mounting error

Trying to download a program and get the "disk mounting failed" message.
Using an EMac with OS 10.3.9, downloading a .dmg file about 5.6MB using Safari 1.3.1(v312.3.3). I've gotten all the updates and Java fixes I can think of. I am able to download other files w/o problem. The file I'm trying to download is Limewire. I've been on their discussion board but no results.
Any sugesstions?
Oh, the Safari downloads about 180kb of the file and then gives me the error and I'm using a cable modem connection.
EMac Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I just had the very same problem (with a CD instead of DVD, but same error) and found your unanswered post. I checked out another site, and it suggested that the I/O problem has something to do with data corruption....
And then I remembered that when watching DVD's - if they are dirty, they won't play...
And I ejected the CD, and found some gummy jam like substance on the data side.
Cleaned it off, and now it works fine....hope this helps you or others!

There are 2 ways of running a test on your hard drive . One way is through BIOS (F10) and other is through HP System diagnostics(F2). How exactly was test initiated from your end ?
The SMART imminent failure for Hard drive is an indication that your Hard drive is on verge of failure or might fail anytime depending on usage. I would recommend you to backup your files immediately because your hard drive might die at any moment and I'm pretty sure its needs to be replaced.
Kindly check the instructions over here in order to run the test for your hard drive
