Hi all,
Hope all still well.

Physically replaced a failed HDD on HP_3PAR 8400, before logically ejecting/removing/whichever command needed to be executed.

Disk shows below info, there are 2 entries for cage 1 7 (15 & 16)

15 1:7:0 normal 5000C500975934C0 SEAGATE STHB1200S5xeN010 S401FP0Q 3P02 SAS Magnetic 2021-03-18 15:19:04 SAST
16 1:7:0? degraded 5000CCA0320BE72B HGST HCBF1200S5xeN010 06V6JXXZ 3P03 SAS Magnetic 2021-03-11 12:43:27 SAST
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Servicemag resume shows it is still busy or been interrupted, any way to recover from this?

Cage 1 mag 7 'servicemag resume' was started since Thu Mar 18 17:40:08 2021 or it has been interrupted. Please run 'servicemag status -d' for further details
servicemag resume -partial 1 7 -- Failed
Command failed

Thanks in advance.

The question mark bare 1:7:0 on PD16 indicates that the drive is missing. That is usually a sign of servicemag not completing and that there is most likely some chunklets stuck on the "ghost" PD ID 16 that needs to be cleared before you could dismiss the PD ID.


"showpd -c -cg 1 -pn 7" should provide verification.

"showpdch -mov" _could_ possibly show you the chunklets in question

showpd: Invalid option: -cg

That output only shows chunklets that should be moved. So even if chunklets are listed "normal/valid", any chunklet listed are "in the wrong place".

So the missing drive has a total of 1116. Of those, 624 are listed as "Free", 353 is listed as "Uninit" and 139 is listed as "unused spare". So nothing bad there.

That brings me back to the showpdch -mov command ... and it could be as simple as removespare and dismiss the pd.

edited: do you need the complete output of showpdch -mov?


Hi there,
Thanks.

dismisspd 16
Error : Pd id 16 is referenced by chunklet 0:938

movepd 16
There are no chunklets to move.

Strange thing is, there are only 16 physical PD in the array, but showpd shows 17 devices?
showpd
It's like 15 & 16 are the same disk.
