DELL Equallogic 6110. The RAID set lost blocks.

Question

Hello all,

We`ve out of support 4 Dell Equallogic arrays (2x4110, 2x6110). We have of course problems with C2F modules on 6110, but this is not a problem that I face right now.

We`ve have on group with all arrays, Pool1 with volumes is on one PS4110 and PS6110, next PS4110 and PS6110 is Pool2.

I`ve set SyncRep between Pools on one test volume, but I`ve made restart of one controller on a arrays which is receiving SyncRep Volume. It cause diffrent then usual restart of array, after one minute CLI it says that array is not configured. I was wating on status change about 5 min but with no change was visible in CLI, then I decided to restart again opne of the controller, Array back to life but I receive that I`ve RAID set lost blocks.

There is no volume on that array in group because I`ve stop canceled SyncRep between pools.

I`ve no clue how to repair "RAID set lost block" issue without any volume on it?

Anyone? :)

There is no data lost in this case. This was test Syncrep prepared nad as I see this was good decision :)

Thanks in advance in any answer.

Hello Don, Yes I found Volume which I set SyncRep and as I wrote stooped cause of controller restart. Could I delete it and RAID lost block issue will be solved? Regards, Mark

Hello Don,

After purging recycle bin with deleted volumes, the error subsided, I understand that the RAID structure on the array is independent of errors on volumes.

Thank you very much Don for help, sometimes small tips makes big things :)
