HP Insight Management Agents - Manual (Page 74)

Identify Drive
Select the length of time to identify the physical drive from the drop-down list box and then select
the Start button. The page will automatically refresh and display an image of an identified drive
and a Stop button. Select the Stop button to end identification before the time expires.
After the drive identification completes, the page will have to be manually refreshed to display the
Start button. There may be a delay, depending on the length of the HP Management Agents data
collection interval, after the drive identification completes and before the Start button can be
displayed.
Only drives in hot plug trays are supported since the LEDs are part of the tray. Only one drive on
a selected controller may be identified at a time. If a different drive is selected while another drive
is currently identified then the other drive will stop identification and the selected drive will be
identified.
IMPORTANT: The Start or Stop button will only be displayed if you are logged on as an
administrator or an operator, SNMP Sets are enabled, and a SNMP Community string has been
defined with 'write' access. Go back to the Summary page and select login to login as an
administrator or operator. SNMP Sets can be enabled in the HP Insight Management Agents control
panel applet on the SNMP Settings page. A SNMP Community string with 'write' access can be
defined in the SNMP Service Properties Security page located in Computer Management under
Services. The drive icon will not blink in Microsoft Internet Explorer unless Play animations in web
pages is enabled in the Tools menu Internet Options under the Advanced tab in the Multimedia
section.
Logical Drive Information
A list of logical drives associated with the controller displays in the Mass Storage submenu. Each
logical drive in the list displays the condition, the logical drive number and the fault tolerance of
that logical drive. Select one of the logical drive entries to display the following information.
•
Status displays the status of the logical drive. The logical drive can be in one of the following
states:
◦ OK - The logical drive is in normal operation mode.
◦ Failed - More physical drives have failed than the fault tolerance mode of the logical
drive can handle without data loss.
◦ Unconfigured - The logical drive is not configured.
◦ Interim recovery - The logical drive is using Interim Recovery Mode. In Interim Recovery
Mode, at least one physical drive has failed, but the logical drive's fault tolerance mode
lets the drive continue to operate with no data loss.
◦ Ready for rebuild - The logical drive is ready for Automatic Data Recovery. The physical
drive that failed has been replaced, but the logical drive is still operating in Interim
Recovery Mode.
◦ Rebuilding - The logical drive is currently doing Automatic Data Recovery. During Automatic
Data Recovery, fault tolerance algorithms restore data to the replacement drive.
◦ Wrong drive - The wrong physical drive was replaced after a physical drive failure.
◦ Bad connect - A physical drive is not responding.
◦ Overheating - The drive array enclosure that contains the logical drive is overheating.
The array is still functioning, but should be shut down.
◦ Shutdown - The drive array enclosure that contains the logical drive has overheated. The
logical drive is no longer functioning.
