Solution Type Troubleshooting Sure Solution 1010039.1 : Analyzing Internal RAID/non-RAID Disk Failures for x64 Sun Blade [TM] 6000/8000 server platforms
PreviouslyPublishedAs 213788 Applies to:Sun Blade 8000 System - Version Not Applicable to Not Applicable [Release N/A]Sun Blade 8000 P System - Version Not Applicable to Not Applicable [Release N/A] Sun Blade X6220 Server Module - Version Not Applicable to Not Applicable [Release N/A] Sun Blade X6250 Server Module - Version Not Applicable to Not Applicable [Release N/A] Sun Blade X6420 Server Module - Version Not Applicable to Not Applicable [Release N/A] All Platforms PurposeThis document addresses failures of internal disks in Solaris[TM] x64, Red Hat , SuSE/Novell and Windows platforms. Failures under hardware RAID and JBOD (non-RAID) are discussed in this document. Troubleshooting StepsSymptoms:- Disk service LED illuminated Step 1. Verify a supported platform disk and part numberThe following link references a support document that assists in the identification of a disk part number. In addition, the document provides the public web location of the Sun systems handbook to confirm the disk in question is a supported disk for your platform: <Document: 1010055.1> Identifying Oracle Supported Platform Disks Disks that are not listed on a platforms documentation and deemed unsupported. This is because they have not been tested and therefore have unknown properties and as such may produce unknown errors. Step 2. Verify disk is or is not a member of a RAID arrayThe following links reference support documents that assist in identifying if your Solaris, Linux or Windows operating environments are installed as part of a RAID array or not. The Windows instructions are in line: Solaris: <Document: 1017961.1> How to Identify if a Solaris[TM] Operating Environment is Installed on a Hardware RAID Linux: <Document: 1013003.1> How to Identify if a Linux Operating Environment is Installed on a Hardware RAID Controller Windows: Right Click on My Computer and select Properties Select the Hardware tab from the window that appears Click on Device Manager Click on Disk Drives. Installed disk(s) are listed If the disk drive(s) listed display the name Adaptec, LSI, NVIDIA or StorageTek then your platforms disks are under the control of a RAID device. Troubleshooting steps differ for platforms that are installed under the control or a RAID management device. This is because disks under RAID control are hidden from the operating environment and are referenced as a pseudo or meta-device. Step 3. Verify disk is online has has not been going offline and no physical disk hardware problemThe following links reference support documents that assists in identifying the online/offline status of directly attached platform disks. This document also discusses the location of your operating system error logs and the format in which disk errors should appear: Solaris: <Document: 1005530.1> How to Check for Solaris[TM] x64 Disk Errors and Online/Offline Status Linux: <Document: 1002936.1> How to Check for Linux Platform Disk Errors and Online/Offline Status Windows: <Document: 1011590.1> How to check for Windows platform disk errors and online/offline status Disks that are not directly attached to the platform (for example installed in an external storage array), are not discussed in this document.
Step 4. Verify disk firmware revision and known applicable issuesThe following link references a support document that assists in identifying the disk model number and firmware revision to check for known issues and if applicable patch updates: <Document: 1008396.1> How to Identify Optical and Hard Disk Firmware Revisions for Checking of Known Issues Patches and firmware updates are often available for disks under multiple operating systems. Checking for known issues and updates results in decreased downtime. Step 5. Run information gathering programs and raise an Oracle service requestThe following links reference support documents that assist in the gathering of information from your Solaris, Red Hat, Novell/SuSE and Windows platforms using their own information gathering tools. Solaris: <Document: 1312847.1> Solaris Explorer PIC Novell/SuSE Enterprise Linux: <Document: 1010057.1> How to gather information on SuSE Linux Enterprise Systems Red Hat Enterprise Linux: <Document: 1010058.1> How to Gather Information on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Systems Windows msinfo32:
Click on Start and select Run Type "msinfo32" in the text box that appears Select the File menu and then select Export Provide a file name and send this file to Oracle This is necessary if the resolution steps above did not resolve your issue and Oracle needs to be engaged to continue diagnosis for you. Information gathering programs gather operating system parameters and configuration information from your platform. At this point, if you have validated that each troubleshooting step above is true for your environment, and the issue still exists, further troubleshooting is required. For additional support contact Oracle Support.
