Background:
- 3Par M6710 disk cabinet connected to a HP HBA 221 card in a regular HP Gen8 server. - 24 10k 900 GB disks installed. All 3Par original drives.
Weird problem:
- If the disk in bay 0 is installed the system will not boot. Gets stuck at the M6710's "initializing..." message. - As soon as I eject bay 0 the system boots normally and all 23 drives are visible. - The 7-segment on the M6710 shows "01". - No other warnings (blinking amber lights etc)
Questions: - Is bay 0 special somehow? - What does the "01" code mean? I have looked for info on those codes, but not found anything.
Not the end of the world if I cannot use bay 0, but it's annoying..
