Maintenance and Service Guide

Handling RAIDset containers with at least one unit above the container

(recommended offline method)

Note: Although the above procedures are recommended for repairing RAIDsets, you

can also use the procedures described in “Manually manipulating disk devices

needing repair (alternative procedure).”

If any RAIDset shows a status of Maintenance Recommended, and the

RAIDset is currently associated with a unit (including a unit above a partition),

the ACS V8.8-1 upgrade process provides an in-controller memory correction for

any deficiency attributed to the metadata for the RAIDset. Although you can use

this unit indefinitely with the metadata corrections applied only to the

in-controller memory, HP recommends that during the maintenance window you

take the units off the container, invoke the following CLI command with the

PARTITION or NONPARTITION qualifier on the container, as appropriate:

REINITIALIZE container-name SPECIAL_FUNCTION_ONE=

After you issue the above command, add the unit back onto the container. This

maintenance command (if a unit is not present on the container) forces an update

of the metadata onto the disks of the container.

Note: If you decide to physically remove the members of a RAIDset and place them

into another subsystem running ACS V8.7-

or V8.6, and that RAIDset currently

shows a status of Maintenance Recommended, it is essential that you perform the

REINITIALIZE

container-name CLI command before removing devices in the

container from the ACS V8.8-1 subsystem.

To manually manipulate and repair disk devices where their status indicates,
