Handling RAIDset containers without a unit above the container
For RAIDsets without a unit above the container, HP recommends that you take
immediate steps to either initialize RAIDsets if data on the media is not needed, or
invoke the following CLI command with the PARTITION or NOPARTITION
qualifier, as appropriate:
REINITIALIZE container-name SPECIAL_FUNCTION_ONE=
After issuing the above command, allow the controller to update the media on the
disk with corrected metadata elements from controller memory.
Handling failures during the add of a unit above a RAIDset container
After upgrading to V8.8-1, if you attempt to place a unit above the RAIDset
storage container, you might receive the following message:
Error 1171: Inconsistent partitioning on container, see
REINITIALIZE command.
If you receive Error 1171, this indicates that the controller could not accurately
determine whether the container is partitioned or non-partitioned, and,
consequently, disallows you from taking action until you invoke the following
CLI command with the PARTITION or NOPARTITION qualifier:
REINITIALIZE container-name SPECIAL_FUNCTION_ONE=
You must identify whether or not the container is partitioned. After you issue the
above command and identify to the controller the container type (partitioned or
non-partitioned), the controller proceeds to set the metadata to indicate it is a
partitioned or non-partitioned container. Afterwards, you may proceed to add
non-partitioned units or partitioned units above the container.
Handling target site remote copy sets made of RAIDsets that need repair
To repair RAIDsets that are part of remote copy set (RCS) units, it is necessary to
to complete the following steps on the target site:
1. Delete the unit (for example, DEL D1).
2. Complete the repair (for example, REINITITIALIZE container-name
SPECIAL_FUNCTION_ONE=NOPARTITION).
3. Place the RCS unit back into place.
4. Complete a full RCS copy.
