MCS-7835-H3 Hard Disk Led Amber Alarm

Hello Everybody,
I have a MCS-7835-H3 Server, running DMS 5.2.1. The Server has 4 hard disk, (300Gb every disk). I've noticed one hard disk is alarmed, the led is color amber.
I was looking for some documentation about this but i can't find anything.
I was looking at the applience and AAI interface for some information about the disks status and nothing... in the log files neither...
Can somebody helpme to know what is going on?
So many thanks!

Hello,
This looks like hardware issue, maybe bad sectors, I would recommend opening a TAC case. They can run Hardware diagnostics on the drive to determine the exact cause of the alert - It may need a replacement.
Thanks,
Sagar Dhanrale

SATA - Hard disk led

hi guys... i got 2 HD Sata / Ata. the problem is that when i use the SATA disk the hard disk led wont come up, but when i use the Ata one it does!!.. any ideas?¿
TIA

My IDE LED also works fine with a SATA hard disk, but I use only one SATA drive. A buddy told me that his LED does not work with SATA when he uses his drives as part of a RAID array, but it works only when he uses a single SATA drive. That may be the reason your LED isn't working if you are using dual SATA drives in a RAID configuration, or one SATA and one EIDE drive.

WAAS - WAE-512-K9 - SATA2 250 GB Hard disk not detecting

We had installed new WAE-512-K9 having 2*SATA2 250GB Hard disk as edge box in one of the branch. But during configuration, we have notified that both the hard disks are not getting detected. Both the disks 00 & 01 are inserted in the respective slots as mentioned in the cisco document. Hard disk LEDs are glowing intially when the device boots up, but later there is no LED indication. Please help me in resolving this issue.

Hi Tammy,
The only thing you need is - disk delete-data-partitions once the unit reboots after the memory upgrade. This command re-aligns the CIFS and DRE partition to match with 8GB memory. This command should retain the software and config on the device, only repartition the caching partitions. Not sure what may have went wrong but it seems like at this moment you may want to re-install image using copy ftp install command on WAE. Other than that, your disks look helthy.
Regards.

Whenever I start my computer it takes about 1 minute to start? hard disk keeps continuesly working during this

During this time Hard Disk LED indicates it is on work. and firefox title bar says "not responding". But it opens normally when I reopen it after closing. And works good.

Allright, lets try one step to resolve this issue, look at the Date & Time preferences, mark the check box to Set date and time automatically, the clock and date should update by itself when the computer is connected to the internet.
If the internet is not available, then only way to set the date manually, unmark that Set date and time automatically, then there should be Revert and Save buttons visible, set the date manually and click on Save. Turn off the computer and boot it again, the date should not reset if the battery is OK.

Verify physical hard disk drive health MCS 7825-H3 that installed CUCM inside it

Hi Everyone,
I have Cisco MCS 7825-3 that installed CUCM ver 6.1.1 inside it. A few days ago the system was crashed and have been recovered. And the symtomp why the system crashed is because corrupted hard disk drive. Now the system is running well.
I want to verify the health status of hard disk drive MCS 7825. The logical drive is RAID 1 with 2 chunks (channel 0,1 and channel 0,2). So that i did the test to shut down the cucm and unmount on of the physical hard disk drive. After that i power on the server and running the system with just 1 hard disk drive (example just channel 0,1 and after verify channel i do the same task with channel 0,2). With just 1 hard disk drive if i show hardware in cucm cli , it showed that status of logical drive is degraded. But the system can run well (IP Phone registered and can do pbx features). And after do verify test with 1 hard disk drive, i mount the physical hard disk drive again so that the system running with all of hard disk drive mounted (2 chunks).
At first it showed in cucm cli that status of logical drive is degraded, but with current operation rebuild (indicated RAID 1 is rebuild again by the system). After up to 1 hour the process finished and the status of logical drive is optimal again.
The question i wanna ask, is there any method to know if the health of physical hard disk drive of MCS good or not beside the task i have done ?
Maybe we can show in the BIOS or cucm cli because i didnt find diagnose of physical drive in cucm cli but it can diagnose status of RAID, hard disk space and list file in hard disk drive.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Luthfi,
Do you find a way to check the hard drives and RAID of this CUCM server. I have also 7825-H3
Or it is as I think that I need to create remote access configuration ?

Hello All,
I have cisco MCS7835i3 with CUCM7.1 and two 72gb hard disks. Recently i am facing a issue LED's on hard drives are not blinking and CUCM gui is not accessible and all phone register to that cucm are down. Please help me in solving what should i do?
regrad,
Haseeb

Hi Haseeb,
are you able to login through SSH into CUCM server?
if yes, u can run the command show hardware .if hard disk if faulty, you should find the output
Device Present
================
Virtual Drives : 2
Degraded : 1
Offline : 0
Physical Devices : 5
Disks : 4
Critical Disks : 2

Hp dv4-2112tu no boot no display , ram and hard disk are ok and checked, shows caps num led blinking

Hello Sir/Madam,
I have HP DV4-2112TU
My laptop doesn’t boot completely and shows blank black display. CPU fan running normally and hard disk rotating normally.
Battery charging is ok and charging-power led glows normally. Caps lock and Num lock led flashes 3 times and then wait for one second and then flash again and so on. Laptop is stucked in booting process.
I have checked both of my RAMs and Hard Disk in Another Laptop. All are working fine and shows no issues.
I have also checked my laptop installing new RAM in both ports (simultaneously) and a new Hard Disk but Laptop shows same problem - no display no boot.
I showed my laptop at an authorised HP Service Centre... they told me that the problem is related to my Hard Disk....But this is wrong Because a faulty hard disk is never cause no display and no boot and even no BIOS POST message. They told me wrong cause of fault because I have checked Hard Disk and it is OK.
Can anyone tell me what are the issues related to my Laptop..... …..
Thanks in advance.
This question was solved.

Hi,
The 3 blink pattern does correspond to issues with the memory modules, see the document below:
Computer Does Not Start and Emits an LED or Beep Code
Since it sounds like you've done everything possible to eliminate the memory modules themselves as the source of the problem. Based on your description, I'd agree that the problem is probably not the Hard Drive. Which unfortunately leaves us with a problem with the Motherboard as the only component that might be implicated and that hasn't been changed out yet. It could be as simple as a bad connector, or something less easy to detect in the logic on the board, but either way, it seems like it would need to go back to a service center for repair.

Ironport C170 hard disk orange light problem

hi,
I have a new C170, there're 2*250G hard disk ,RAID 1, I had see the specification ,C170 support hot-swappable.At first, both hard disk is green. but when I remove one of them, and then install back soon, The hard disk light change to orange, but the system still can operate.
May I know this hard disk is bad? In fact, C170 isnot support hot-swappable hard disk?
Thanks a lot!!

Found on Cisco Website..to insert the drive the unit needs to be off. The light is amber while the RAID array is being rebuilt. Read below.
The Raid on the Cisco Web Security Applicance S170 or Cisco Email Security Appliance C170 is software based, it is hot removable but it is not hot insertable.
The drive can be removed while the power is turned on, so as to be certain which drive LED indicates failure.
The replacement drive should not be inserted, while the power is turned on.
Procedure:
1. Confirm which drive that has failed, by looking at the front panel drive LED that is amber/red.
LED
besides
0
refer to the
bottom drive
failure and needing replacement.
LED
besides
1
refer to the
top drive
failure and needing replacement.
2. While the power is turned on, press the button for the drive cage, to release the faulty drive.
3. Shutdown the Security Appliance
4. Insert the replacement drive into the drive cage.
5. Power on the Security Appliance
The Replacement drive will have amber light on it, while the raid is being rebuilt.

Disk write cache corruption on an external hard disk

Recently I purchased an external hard disk, to put all of my pictures of my baby due to space limitations on my internal laptop drive. Since my Canon camera 10 megapixel pictures take up a ton of space this was occurring at an alarming rate. My intention was also to back up to DVD but never got to it. This is both a comment and a question.
Now said baby, is getting really good at pulling cords etc. He managed to do this on the external drive firewire cable. As far as i know the drive was not in the process of actually writing. However, after a few minutes and trying to re-plug the drive the OS crashed with a Grey Screen of Death hardware error that tells you that you need to push the power button..
This apparently corrupted the drive's directory. Upon reboot the drive would not mount. Since there were time machine backups on the drive too Diskwarrior was not able to reconstruct the drive in the built in memory available on the computer. Time machine stores millions of files and Diskwarrior apparently wants to keep it all in memory at once. Since my computer has 2GB you would hope that would be enough but apparently not. So that failed. Other utilities seemed to be able to find the files but not restore the directory. I also took it to the apple store they were not able to recover it.
I have to say this is extremely distressing, and hard to believe that a simple accident like this could cost the loss of thousands of pictures. I did send it to a rescue company but that was expensive but I think apple needs to do something about this situation.
On Windows there is a way to disable the write cache for external drives. This is not available for Mac OS X. This would prevent this rather common occurrence of a plug accidentally becoming disengaged when the drive is not in the process of writing. This reduces the odds but I still think apple, in order to become clearly superior, needs a better solution.
I know Apple has experimented with ZFS would this not eliminate this possibility of this kind of disaster? Is this in Snow Leopard desktop? I know they are thinking this is a business customer focused technology but clearly if it can eliminate this kind of thing then I think it is extremely useful to their non server customers. Perhaps there are other ways of dealing with this issue but ZFS is designed to deal with these issues. HFS+ is extremely fragile to disk corruption.
I know my situation is not that uncommon and this is not the first time this has happened to me with an external drive. You would think I had learned. I hate to think of how many other people have had the same thing happen to them.

Disabling a write cache would not help you with the problem you are having. Besides the write cache is on the hard drive and operates independently of the operating system. But nothing can protect you from disconnected an external drive improperly, and if the drive is in the process of being written to, and the problem comes from directory corruption, not file corruption, as in the case you have described, disabling a write cache would not have made any difference.
For the future the magic word is: Backups.

Gt70 2pc dominator Lag/stutter and high hard disk and memory usage

After Receiving the gt70 back from repairs (was repaired by msi) and installing some games my notebook started high disk usage and system responsiveness decreased very noticably i thought it was temporarily but it wasn't. When i played games i noticed stutters from time to time and i can see the hard drive Led being lit up completely when it happens, when i go to task manager i can see about 87% memory utilization but isn't about 3gb usage and hard drive being at 100% usage (even in idle most of time) and isn't using 3 mb/s, i'm not an expert with software related problems so i hope you go easy on me and thanks for your help.
EDIT: Sometimes the pc crashes and give me this notification "system thread exception not handled" i searched and says it's due to bad driver and requires booting from windows cd but obviously it is an embedded windows so i don't know what to do. Another problem which is minor is when i try to shutdown it says "please wait" and then boots into windows again, i have to restart and then shutdown or press the power button to shut it down.

You can refer the following links:
http://www.msi.com/faq/nb-740.html
http://www.msi.com/faq/nb-646.html
And also suggest to disable Windows Update, any antivirus activities, or unwanted processes.

Error message: iTunes can't save to hard disk because disk not attached. (but it is) Does this indicate a real problem?

iTunes regularly post an error message saying it can't save to the internal hard disk because the disk is not attached, even though the disk seems to be functioning normally. Do these error messages indicate that there is a real problem with either iTunes or the disk?
<Subject Edited by Host>

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can read it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Airport extreme will not boot with USB hard disk plugged in.

Hi there,
I'm using the Airport Extreme Base Station, and I find that if I have a USB hard disk plugged into it, it will not boot up, it only hang-ups with an amber light, and stays there indefinitely. It's not a terrible issue because it can be overcome by unplugging the disk then rebooting, but it's irritating, especially when I'm not home and there is a power temporary outage and my wife can no longer access the internet or I can no longer access my disks over the internet.
Is there a solution to this problem?
Thanks,
Marc

I'm going to have to replace the unit, as I'm unable to turn off DHCP services, which is wreaking havoc on my server based environment.
Considering THIS issue *AND* the major DHCP show stopper, frankly, I'm debating etiher the fire pit or tossing the damned thing into the intersection and watching it be reduced to the trash that it is.
Either way, there'll be 7 feet of pack ice in **** before I buy another Apple networking product.
I'll decide later, with a jaundiced eye, regarding our XServe unit. Might reformat it to Linux...

Issue with amount of Hard Disk allocated to User

I have recently come across an unexpected issue that I have managed to work around but not in a way that is particularly satisfactory.
Using iMovie I was alarmed to see that on uploading about an hour of video that I was rapidly running out of hard disk space. This was odd as I had previously simply used Migration Assistant to migrate from my old iMac with a 30Gb drive to a new iMac with a 500Gb drive and as far as I could see my tape was using a maximum of 13Gb. ie I should have about 400Gb as a minimum available on my Hard Drive. Thinking it must be a glitch that iMovie was incorrectly reading the amount of space available i continued with what I was doing only for the whole thing to stop due to lack of available space.
Having checked my hard drive I realised that I did have the space however my user account (File Vaulted Protected) only has 10Gb allocated to it. By moving the file out of my user account to the general drive (through copying first and then deleting the original) I was able to continue the project as well as regain disk space in my user account.
It would appear that in using file vault I have in effect partitioned my disk which was not what I had anticipated; I am now in the dubious position of having to work on very large files outside of security provided by File Vault.
Have I got this right and if so is there someway that I can allocate more space to my user account? (I am the only one using the iMac and so having the whole HD available to my user account would be ideal).
Thanks in advance for any help.

VK I tried the solution you suggested but it would not allow me to turn off File Vault. The message I got was that I had insufficient hard disk space to turn off File Vault (It states that I need 76Gb of space but at the moment I have less than 6Gb available - this is in spite of the fact I have 350Gb available overall on my Hard Drive.
I suspect the only way I am going to solve this is through radical measures, however if anyone else has come across this before and solved it your input would be appreciated.

Hard Disk not exist! But spins up ok

Hey guys, I've got a HP Pavilion DV5 1000ea, which is just over 2 years old. For the last week I've frequently had a lot of trouble booting up, it seems like the hard drive isn't being recognised. I get a message saying that there's no boot device detected, and when I try to do a hard drive self test I get a "Hard Disk Not Exist" error message. At one of these two error message points I also get an error code of (3F0).
Now, I have tried taking the hard drive out of the laptop, reseating the connections both on the back of the hard drive and on the motherboard, and booting up while the hard drive is laying flat in the palm of my hand. I can feel it spin up fine, it doesn't seem to make any clicking noises like a dying hard drive might, I can even hear it reading the hard drive very briefly once or twice - but I'm still being told the hard drive doesn't exist! On boot up, the "hard disk access" LED on the laptop comes on solid for a few seconds, then goes off, and then maybe flickers on and off briefly once or twice (all while on the HP splash screen) before giving me the error. I should possibly also mention that the label on top of the hard drive looks a bit scorched, I presume that's from the heat generated from the wifi card situated beneath it.
So the short of it is, this is happening almost every time i try to boot up my laptop now. Sometimes I have to try booting up 10-15 times, but so far it has eventually always recognised the hard drive and booted up and worked perfectly fine with no issues in operation. I just feel that at this stage it's likely that someday the laptop isn't going to boot up at all.
I'm happy to replace the hard drive if that's going to sort the problem, but since it spins up fine every time with no clicking noises whether the laptop recognises it or not, I wonder if that's really what the problem is. Could it be a faulty cable between the drive and mobo? Could it be a problem on the mobo itself?
Would greatly appreciate any assistance!
Thanks in advance!

Think horses not zebras. Not every hard drive error results in clicking. You likely have an issue with the electronic circuitry of the drive, not the mechanical parts, i.e. seek head or platters. A replacement green board would likely fix it but it is much easier to find a new hard drive. Am I 100% sure? No but I am 92% sure.
