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.

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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Why my iPad get hot after 30min use?

    Why my iPad get hot after 30min use?

    The iPad should not get hot after 30 minutes of use. The new iPad will get warmer that the other two iPads did, but it should never get hot.
    If you are playing a HD graphic intense game or watching a HD movie it will get warmer than it does when you are just surfing the web or doing basic functions in word processing apps, or writing emails a but it should still never get hot.
    Is your iPad brand new or has this been going on for a while?

    Do you have a smaller capacity micro SD card to try? I seem to remember from past posts that users were having problems with cards larger than 32GB, however, Apple's page doesn't mention this.

    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.

  • Why MBP heats when working in target disk mode?

    I connect my MBP to iMac using target disk mode through Thunderbolt interface, close the lid and work on iMac booted from MBP's disk. My understanding is that in this mode MBP should consume very little energy because CPU and GPU are mostly inactive. But I can feel that MBP actually heats up considerably. It not critically hot, but still hotter than I would expect. Can someone explain why this happens?

    For FireWire Target Disk Mode, if there are two drives connected to the same IDE bus, I believe only the one that is set as Master is accessible from the "other" computer.  So it's possible that your optical drive is Master and hard drive is Slave, in your config.
    Copying the files to the external drive, while the iMac G4 is still bootable, was a good move.
    Once the data is safe, you might try the following (assuming you are able to continue starting up that iMac).  Download a cloning utility, such as Carbon Copy Cloner
    http://www.bombich.com/
    Clone the internal drive volume to a FireWire external drive volume.  Set System Preferences Startup Disk pane to start up from the clone on the FireWire drive, and try to start up from the clone.  While started up from the FireWire drive, you can run Disk Utility on the internal drive.  Maybe you can do a Repair Disk successfully.
    You can also use Disk Utility to completely erase the internal drive.  Be sure to select the internal DRIVE (not the volume indented under the drive) in the sidebar, then go to the Erase tab.  Doing an erase in this way will re-partition and reformat the hard drive.  That may get rid of your data corruption problem.
    Then, clone the clone back to the internal drive, and try to start up from it.  If there was an underlying hardware problem on the hard drive, this will not fix it.  But if it was just data corruption at the volume level, that iMac G4 may still have some life left.

  • Fdisk and format show different cylinders can't use whole disk for solaris?

    Solaris 10 5/09 s10x_u7wos_08 X86
    Format did not show enough cylinders, so we can't use whole raid5 (4x 146GB) volume.
    How can we fix it? We need the full raid5 volume for our solaris.

    Hi Smart71,
    I know it sounds complicated, but it really isn't.
    You need to select the option to manually edit the disk label
    when you install solaris.
    Your problem is that you have assigned 73 GB for your / (root)
    and 63 GB for your swap. That's not the problem that I see. The problem is that the Solaris partition (and therefore the Solaris VTOC label inside) is only for 136GB. But the actual underlying storage is 409GB. So the entire partition and the VTOC have to be rewritten.
    You only have 2 options. Either re-install Solaris, of re-partition the disk.
    If you don't have a spare disk to copy root to and you want to use
    the whole disk, with just one / root partition, you will need to shrink /swap
    create another slice to copy root to temporarily, and then re-partition your disk. Agreed reinstalling is easiest. But moving slices around will not let you change the VTOC size.
    eg:
    boot from CD into single user mode.
    partition the disk so that eg:
    swap is 3 GB. eg: ( from cylinder 1 to cylinder 400 )
    partition 3 is 7 GB ( from cylinder 401 to cylinder 1318 )
    ( if 7 GB is enough to hold all your / data )
    write the disk label out
    newfs partition 3
    mount / on /a
    mount partition 3 on /mnt
    Copy everything from /a to /mnt eg:
    rsync -vaxH /a /mnt
    or
    find /a -xdev -print | cpio -pdam /mnt
    umount /a and /mnt
    re partition the disk so that / takes all the free space.If that were your goal, you wouldn't have to move anything. Just repartition and use 'growfs' on the root filesystem directly (while booted from CD).
    eg ( starting at cylinder 1319 to cylinder 17816 )
    write disk label out
    newfs part 0 for /
    mount / on /a and part 3 on /mnt
    copy everything back from /mnt to /a
    Check /a to make sure everything is there.
    umount /a and /mnt
    re partition the disk to make /swap 10 GB
    ( starting at cylinder 1 to cylinder 1318 )
    write disk label out.
    And that's it.
    The disk you are working on is 17816 cylinders in size.
    yet down the bottom you say that :
    Total disk size is 53502 cylinders
    That tells me there are 4 disks in the raid 5 set, and that
    you have probably been presented with 3 x 136 GB disks.
    That means that you should have 2 x 136 GB disks free.
    Use one of these to copy your /root to. and then
    re-partition your first disk and copy data back.
    Or partition another disk correctly, write a boot block to it
    Copy your root data to it, and boot from it.The entire disk is presented to the machine (as seen in the fdisk output), but the Solaris partition is only using the smaller portion of it. You can't create a second Solaris partition and use it at the same time, either. Only one Solaris partition can be used at a time.

  • 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.
