Disk Array
HI:
I have a DUAL redundant system running in HP-UX 10.20 ( 2 servers)
Both servers share an external SCSI disk array. Both server runs a Data base wich uses the disk array to write the data, and that is the way they share the information.
The way that the servers see the disk array, is like an internal device (/dev), and like an extra hard drive.
Now the disk array has broken, so I have to find a solution, so the servers can countinue to do this process and share the information.
So my questions are:
1) There are SCSI new disk array compatible with my servers HP-UX 10.20?
2) Can I use a disk array that comunicate via network and mounted it as a shared disk?
3) Or what other solution can you recommen me?
4) In other topics, have you ever run HP-UX 10.20 in a virtual machine? Can you tell me wich one ?
It is not possible to upgrade the OS, or to run the Data base as a service, because the application that servers run is not versatil.

I am new to the unix world. I have SunBlade 100 and A1000 Disk storage array with 12 Hard drives. I used SCSI card and SCSI cables to connect. When I do the format command,I can see disk storage as one disk instead of 12 disks as below. Could anybody can explain why?

Hello,
On 4/20/2018, we performed a disk replacement on our IBM 8202 P7 server. After the disk was rebuilt, the SAS Disk Array sissas0 showed a status of degraded. However, the pdisks in the array all show a status of active.
We did see a message in errpt. DISK ARRAY PROTECTION SUSPENDED.

scsi.ioentry
Fires when SCSI mid layer prepares a SCSI request
Arguments:
disk_major
The major number of the disk
disk_minor
The minor number of the disk
device_state
The current state of the device. The possible values could be:
SDEV_CREATED = 1, /* device created but not added to sysfs
* Only internal commands allowed (for inq) */
SDEV_RUNNING = 2, /* device properly configured
* All commands allowed */
SDEV_CANCEL = 3, /* beginning to delete device
* Only error handler commands allowed */
SDEV_DEL = 4, /* device deleted
* no commands allowed */
SDEV_QUIESCE = 5, /* Device quiescent. No block commands
* will be accepted, only specials (which
* originate in the mid-layer) */
SDEV_OFFLINE = 6, /* Device offlined (by error handling or
* user request */
SDEV_BLOCK = 7, /* Device blocked by scsi lld. No scsi
* commands from user or midlayer should be issued
* to the scsi lld. */
