RAID 5 degrades after restart

Since I configured our Xserve (3x500 GB + Hardware Raid Card) it ran perfectly stable and without any problems.
The only problem is each time I install new software and restart the RAID 5 is degraded and one of three 500 GB modules has to be rebuilt which takes a long time and decreases performance. Is this normal behaviour or might this be a hardware failure?
I'm not really sure what to do next. Suggestions welcome!
Xserve G5 2.3 DP   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   Hardware RAID Level 5

I am pretty sure that will do it.
The problem with non-authorized drives in the ADM's is that they are not supported by Apple. That doesn't only mean that they won't support you from a technical standpoint if you have issues, but the other software and hardware as designed will not "support" the drives.
I am not sure technically why it is working the way it is for you, but if you cannot eliminate one particular drive, sled, or slot in the XServe then I would say that this is definitely the problem.

  • [Solved] RAID 5 degraded after 3.13 upgrade

    Hi there,
    after upgrading my home server to the latest kernel 3.13 I've found out, that my RAID 5 got degraded. One of the drives has been kicked out, but I don't know why. The drive seems okay, I've also done a SMART short test, completed without any errors. The only suspicious looking error message, when upgrading to Linux 3.13 was:
    ERROR: Module 'hci_vhci' has devname (vhci) but lacks major and minor information. Ignoring.
    This is mdstat output:

    This is my mdadm configuration:

    ARRAY /dev/md/Asura metadata=1.2 UUID=34bab60a:4d640b50:6228c429:0679bb34 name=Ragnarok:Asura
    I've checked all partition tables, everything seems ok. "Error 30[x] occurred at disk power-on lifetime: 1706 hours (71 days + 2 hours)" seems to be a one-time event, which happened on 1706 hours (I don't know why; no power loss or something similar). Other than those smartctl errors, everything seems fine. I've also inspected the drive; no suspicious noises or anything else, works like the other 3 drives. Am I safe to simply re-add the drive using "sudo mdadm --manage --re-add /dev/md127 /dev/sdd1" and let it re-sync or should I flag it as failed and then re-add it to the RAID?
    I am using 4x 2TB Western Digital Red drives in a RAID 5, which are about 1 year old and they ran perfectly fine until now. The server is currently shut down until this problem is fixed. I currently got a partial backup of my data (most important ones) and will make a full backup, before attempting a repair. At the moment, I'm still able to access all my data, so nothing's wrong there.
    So, what do you guys think, what should I do?

    So, I guess my only way to fix this is remove the faulty drive from the RAID, zero out the superblock and then re-add it as a new drive. Or is there any other way to fix this?
    //Edit: I've used "mdadm --detail /dev/md127" and found out, that the faulty drive wasn't even listed anymore. So instead of using "re-add", I simply added it as a new drive and it's resyncing now. In about 220mins, I'll know more ! Is there a way to check for corruption after syncing the drives?
    //Edit: ^ this worked. My drive probably didn't got kicked after the 3.13 upgrade, but I've simply noticed it then. The drive seems to be kicked after ~1700 hours for some unknown reason - I've now disconnected and reconnected all drives to opt out any wiring issues. Since the drive was out of sync, simply re-adding it didn't work. I had to manually add it to the array again and this caused a resync, which took around 3,5 hours. I think that's okay for a 4x 2TB RAID 5 array. Everything is working fine again, no data corruption, nothing. I'll mark it as solved.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    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. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • RAID rebuilds whenever I restart

    I have two new LaCie 500GB disks connected directly to my iMacG5 via USB (no hub). I've set them up as a mirrored RAID pair using the Apple RAID built into Disk Utility. This seems to work fine, but for some reason one of the disks gets rebuilt every time I restart my computer (I'm not sure if it's always the same one -- I've just started keeping statistics). I've tried ejecting the RAID pair after the rebuild completes and before restarting, but this doesn't seem to help. Since rebuild takes about 30 hours, this doesn't seem like a great situation. Any suggestions? Have people had better luck with SoftRAID? Thanks,
    Norm
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    Hello
    I had the same problem with my LaCie 250's...I ended up getting SoftRAID and have had no problems since. I wonder how robust the built-in Apple RAID functionality actually is... The biggest single advantage of SoftRAID (aside from it's reliability) is the ability to rebuild the RAID set in the background, allowing you to continue working.
    I also think the LaCie drives are a bit sensitive when powering off. I wrote a short AppleScript, which I can't now recall, because I saved it as run only ;-(
    But it was something like "Tell Finder eject RAID. Tell Finder shutdown." I keep this in the dock, and click on it whenever I want to shutdown. You can see whether this will work for you by manually ejecting/unmounting your RAID set before you restart.
    Hope this helps
    Paul
    PS. Eagerly awaiting Intel version of SoftRAID now my new iMac is on it's way...

  • Also RAID 5 missing after reboot; RA Utilities non effective

    I am having a nearly identical problem as listed in the "RAID 5 missing after reboot; RA Utilities non effective" thread, with one or two small differences.
    We shut down our Xserve RAID normally on friday, started it back up on Monday to find that one of the arrays was no longer there. RAID 1 is still working perfectly, but RAID 2 now has all the drives listed as spare. Tried all the tools in RAID Admin, but nothing has worked. At the advice of Apple tech support i updated the firmware to 1.5, swapped out controllers and cables, and tried using the Recognize RAID command in utilities. Nothing has worked. Apple recomended bring the drives to Drive Savers to get the data recovered. Does anyone have any other ideas?
    Oh, also this raid was reporting a failed drive on friday before it was shut off, when powered back on the drive now claims to be fine.

    Guess I got lucky.... After a reboot of the Xserve RAID, RAID #2 mounted again. Did my backups, shut it back down, and updated firmware to 1.5 with no problems. All seems good now.
    Still wondering what happened.
    It appears that drive #8 failed, and after the rebuild with new replacement drive, it seems as though the controller needed to be restarted too. The odd thing is, before the restart, #2 was acting like it had three new drives and no array configured at all. After the reboot, there is the RAID 5 array, no rebuild or anything - ready to go.
    So here is my question:
    How often does everyone reboot their Xserve RAID? should it be done periodically? Every 3 months? Every month?
    Or is this just a hiccup with the parity rebuild, and nothing else to worry about, or even a firmware issue for the controller(s) that 1.5 may resolve?

  • After restart, all user settings are gone and reset to defaults

    Hi after waking up my iMac from sleep today, it appeared something had gone wrong (apps not responding…notification that my external drives had "not been ejected correctly" etc). I restarted. After restart, and logging back in to my regular user account, all user settings were missing and reset to factory defaults: Desktop reset to the "wave", Dock reset, Download folder missing (grey question mark), Dropbox unable to connect, Safari bookmarks missing (but still on my iPhone-- so it's a local iMac problem, not an issue with iCloud), small things like mouse scrolling prefs reset etc.
    Basically all of my user preferences are missing. I've seen a number of threads about how to fix some of these items individually, but seems like there is a single corrupt preference file somewhere maybe?
    I've repaired permissions a few times (there were a lot), and restarted but nothing has fixed it yet.
    I had been logged out of iCloud, but once I logged back in, my Mail came back (just my me.com account-- still missing my Gmail, will need to reset I guess), along with Calendar and Contacts-- those are ok.
    I keep all my files on an external LaCie RAID, and that all appears to be fine. Folders all intact etc.

    Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account.  Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.

  • E90 Hangs after restart.... Requires Hard reformat...

    Hi Guys,
    Any one faced problems with E90 Phone getting hanged after restart.... It hangs up at the boot cycle..... You have to hard format using * + Call + 3 + Power on button to reformat it.
    But after reformating it after i restore my data, after restart it again hangs...
    Any one aware of any firmware or software that can help me solve this issue.

    It is the orginal Snow Leopard install disk that came with the machine.
    Techtool indicates that the dvd drive is working correctly.
    Techtool shows Disks 3 and 4 are working correctly.
    Disk utility and disk warrior show 3 & 4 are working correctly.
    Disk utility and disk warrior say that the raid setup needs to be rebuilt.
    In order to rebuild the raid and lots of other reasons using the install disk is necessary.

  • Installation problem of iTunes 6.0.4 - Can"t proceed after restart

    I just had to download and re-install iTunes on my Powerbook G4 due to a hard drive crash. I am currently in 10.4.5. I downloaded iTunes from Apple's sight and started the install. Everything went fine and the computer did its mandatory restart. After restarting there is no evidence of iTunes anywhere on my hard drive. So I try to reinstall it from the installer and all the items are ghosted out saying skip. When I try to proceed it says there is nothing to install. I tried verifying/repairing Disk Permissions with Disk Utility and nothiung showed up. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Thanks.
    I believe I have the answer -- at least it worked for me. With a huge assist from Apple Tech Support, I finally came up with with the following...
    Go to Finder > Hard Drive > Library > Receipts. There you will find four files starting with iTunes. Remove all four to the Trash. Empty it. Restart your computer. And then the Install program on the virtual drive will work and you'll get iTunes 6.0.4.
    Hope that helps.

  • ITunes RADIO is not working.  "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. Make sure your internet connection is active and try again." Try as I may, as many as ten attempts, trying to connect after restart, after shutdown, nothing works. Just so -  iTu

    iTunes RADIO is not working.
    “iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. Make sure your internet connection is active and try again.” Try as I may, as many as ten attempts, trying to connect after restart, after shutdown, nothing works. Just so …
    iTunes STORE not “connectable” with my otherwise perfectly-working internet connection, viable, up and running for all other uses.
    Simply put, firstly, I can't connect to the internet when I click on Radio.  People are quite suspicious that this is Apple incompetence or your company's famous arrogance for this commonly-suffered problem that you won't or “can’t” fix.
    Read the many web comments and you won’t be pleased with yourselves: the suspicion is that if you ruin internet radio on iTunes, Apple will somehow make more money on music downloads, etc. Bull.
    Also, thirdly, my old playlist of 20 or so internet radio stations in the Ambient category STILL PLAYS !
    Then fourth, I installed the latest available version of QuickTime Player 7.app Version 7.6.6 but it didn’t solve the problem either. I had QuickTime Player.app Version 10.2, but substituted what Apple website said was the latest, LOWER NUMBERED QuickTime Player version of 7.6.6
    Fifth, I can't connect to iTunes store no matter what I do or what user group's advice I try. So I can’t buy or download anything from iTunes. Bad for business.
    Sixth, I updated to the latest version of iTunes but this weird problem remains. All suggested Apple fixes or user group fixes are useless. Where is Apple’s famous technical competency, vaunted customer support?, and user-friendly product reputation? Get it back, please.
    Solve this problem of yours ASAP for us, your numerous disgruntled, dissatisfied customers of iTunes. You can do better, should, and really –in all fairness- must.
    ===============================================================
    NOTE:  no password for iTunes exists in my Keychain. Is this a problem?
    Apple ACCOUNT ID, and iTunes ID password, works but not to access iTunes with my healthy internet connection.
    Apple store id It works via direct internet connetion but not through iTunes.  Very strange.

  • Performance degradation after setting filesystemio_option=setall from none.

    Hi All,
    We have facing performance degradation after setting filesystemio_option=setall from none on my two servers as mentioned below.
    Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 7) 2.6.9 55.ELhugemem (32-bit)
    Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.2 (Tikanga) 2.6.18 92.1.10.el5 (64-bit)
    We are seeing lots of Disk I/O happening. We expected "*filesystemio_option=setall* " will improve performance but it is degrading. We getting slowness complains.
    Please let me know do we need to set somethign else along with this ...like any otimizer parameter( e.g. optimizer_index_cost_adj, optimizer_index_caching).
    Please help.

    Hi Suraj,
    <speculation>
    You switched filesystemio_options to setall from none, so, the most likely reason for performance degradation after switching to setall is the implementation of directio. Direct I/O will skip the filesystem buffer cache, and and allow Oracle to read directly from disk to the database buffer cache. However, on a system where direct I/O is not implemented, which is what you had until you recently messed with that parameter, it's likely that you had an undersized database buffer cache, but that was ok, because many (most) of the physical I/Os your database was doing, were actually being serviced by the O/S filesystem buffer cache. But, you introduced direct I/O, and wiped out the ability of the O/S to service any physical I/Os from filesystem buffer cache. This means that every cache miss on the database buffer cache, turns into a real, physical, spin-the-disk, move-the-drive-head, physical I/O. And, you are suffering the performance consequences.
    </speculation>
    Ok, end of speculation. Now, assuming that what I've outlined above is actually going on, what to do? Why is direct I/O lower performing than buffered, non-direct I/O? Shouldn't it's performance be superior?
    Well, when you have an established system that's using buffered I/O, and you switch to direct I/O, you almost always will have to increase the size of the database buffer cache. The problem is that you took a huge chunk of memory away from the the O/S, that it was using to buffer your I/Os and avoid physical I/O. So, now, you need to make up for it, by increasing the size of the database buffer cache. You can do this, without buying more memory for the box, because the O/S is no longer going to need to use so much memory for filesystem buffers.
    So, what to do? Is it worth switching? Well, on balance, it makes sense to use direct I/O, and give Oracle a larger database buffer cache, for the simple fact that (particularly on a server that's dedicated to being an Oracle database server), Oracle has far more sophisticated caching algorithms, and a better understanding of the various types of data being cached, and so should be able to make more efficient use of the memory, than the (relatively) brain dead caching algorithms of the kernel and filesystem mechanisms.
    But, once again, it all comes down to this:
    What problem are you trying to solve? Did you have any I/O related issues? Do you have any compelling reason to implement direct I/O? Rule #1 is "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." Did you just violate rule #1? :-)
    Finally, since you're on Linux, you can use the 'free' command to see how much memory is on the box, how much is free, and how much is dedicated to filesystem cache buffers. This response is already pretty long, so, I'm not going to get into details, however, if you're not familiar with the command, the results could be misleading. Read the man page, and try to be clear about understanding it before you make any assumptions about the output.
    Hope that helps,

  • Site does not load after some minutes of creation or after restart the server

    Hello,
    I have been asked to create a test enviroment identical to the production enviroment. So, what I did was:
    Backed up the production web application's content database: Prod_WSS_ContentDB
    Created new test servers (domain controller, sql server and sharepoint 2013 server) in a new, completely isolated, network environment, without any connection with the production environment (specifically Azure)
    Created a new web application in test environment with a new content database.
    Dismounted the new content database with powershell: Dismount-spcontentdatabase Test_WSS_Content
    Copy the Prod_WSS_ContentDB database to the test sql server and restored it with Management Studio.
    Mount the Prod_WSS_ContentDB databe to the web application with powershell:
    Mount-spcontentdatabse Prod_WSS_ContentDB -WebApplication http://testsp/
    Then, when I type http://testsp in the browser it redirects me to http://testsp/SitePages/Home.aspx
    and the site loads exactly as the production environment.
    But, after some minutes, or if I restart the Sharepoint Server, when I navigate to
    http://sitesp I am redirected to http://testsp/SitePages/Home.aspx
    as expected, but the site does not load, the browser just show a complety blank page.
    The Central Administration site loads normally.
    Trying to fix it I found that if I dismount the content database Prod_WSS_ContentDB, then mount the test database Test_WSS_Content,
    then navigate to the site, dismount Test_WSS_Content and finally mount again Prod_WSS_ContentDB, the site loads normally, no blank page, but after some minutes or if I restart the same happens again.
    For the error event I receice in event viewer it seems that the problem is related to database. I have not found a solution for this error... How can I solve  this?

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that Site does not load after some minutes of creation or after restart the server.
    Please make sure you create a test environment for existing production site correctly.

  • Is there a way that I can get Automator to start a server for me after restart of Mac

    Hello!
    I have a serverprogram from an external company that doesnt start after a restart of the mac that I run that server on. It starts the program but it doesnt start up the server of the program. All settings are right and I have consulted others with same config. After a restart the server turns up in the statusbar but as turned off. So I can go to the statusbar, click on the symbol and choose "start server".
    As I cant get the server to start up automaticly I was wondering if I can get the automator to start it up for me after a restart of the mac?
    Ifso how?

  • IMac - Display doesn´t work after restart

    My iMac 21 Display doesn´t work after restart. If I turn it off and 1 hour later I want use it again the iMac shows the white screen with the mac logo and then the display goes off. I connected an external display to check if the iMac was ON and with the external display I can login and do everything but the iMac Display doesn´t work .
    If I turn it off and wait 3 or 4 hours  and then turn it back on the display works OK.
    This is very strange behavior I have spent hours and hours trying to fine the solution or a similar issue but nothing so I am looking help here at apple.com
    BTW When I bougth the iMac 21 there were some spots over the display so the display was replaced by the provider. The warranty has expired by now.

    To tell you the truth, I don't know if they have to repalce the LCD panel or what they do for a bad backlight. In this reality of block or assembly replacement it probably involves repalcing the panel and not the backlight component. Don't know what it would cost. You'd have to ask that of a service center.
