EqualLogic MicroSD error

Question

I have a EqualLogic array that went through a dirty shutdown a few days ago due to a power outage.

When the array was restarted the microSD card on the main controller was corrupt.

I was able to clone a new microSD card from the second controller and get a CLI prompt. But the array immediately went into initializing mode.

It has been doing that for almost 48 hours now.

Starting to wonder if I need to do something or if this is normal.

Hello,  First make sure you are on the active controller.   CLI>  means either passive controller or the array configuration isn't loading.  What model array and what firwware?   Regards,  Don

The storage array is still initializing. Limited commands will be available unt
il the initialization is complete. Please try again later.

I am 99% sure I am connected to main controller by serial (both are type 10 controllers).  I also have 2 backup controllers but not sure on firmware and not sure if using would cause data loss.

PS6010S Last I remember was firmware 9.1.2, cannot access system so not positive.

Hello,

The firmware is in the SD card so you can swap the card from existing to a replacement to maintain correct firmware.

It is very unlikely to be a bad controller. You can power down the array and swap flash card and power up with another controller.

But this sounds more like either a RAID/disk problem or a problem with the internal logs.

Don

Hello,

Did you replace drive 0 at some point recently?

Enclosure/Drive 0/0 is not approved because it uses logical block size emulation.

At the CLI prompt please run CLI>su exec raidtool And post the output

Don
