Sun Fire v440 Hard disk or controller broken? WARNING: /pci@1f,700000/scsi@2/sd@0,0 (sd1)
Hi,


I have a Sun Fire V440 server that fails to boot up correctly. A lot of services are not started and the sytems acts really slow to commands. During boot I can see the following Error:

Code:
WARNING: /pci@1f,700000/scsi@2/sd@0,0 (sd1):
        SCSI transport failed: reason 'reset': retrying command
WARNING: /pci@1f,700000/scsi@2/sd@0,0 (sd1):
        Error for Command: read                    Error Level: Retryable
        Requested Block: 689376                    Error Block: 689390
        Vendor: LSILOGIC                           Serial Number: LSI INTERNAL
        Sense Key: Media Error
        ASC: 0x11 (read retries exhausted), ASCQ: 0x1, FRU: 0x0

The first two disks sd0 and sd1 are configured as raid 1 it seems. So I would assume that one of those disks is bad. But raidctl shows no errors:

Code:
RAID    Volume  RAID            RAID            Disk
Volume  Type    Status          Disk            Status

                                 c1t1d0          OK


But iostat -en shows soft and hard errors for the raid:

Code:
bash-3.00# iostat -en
  ---- errors ---

Is it possible that the Raid controller is broken?

I'm really thankful for any hints, as I have no clue how to proceed with this.

The Raid controller is not showing no problems, as you put it.

RESYNCING means that the controller is remirroring the Raid1 disks because of a problem. Depending on the capacity of the Raid1 disks (they will typically be exactly the same size) this resyncing shouldn't take very long, however, whilst this is in progress, system response time will be impacted. Once complete, the status should become OPTIMAL.

If the resyncing is falling over for some reason then the process might be restarting over and over and OPTIMAL is never achieved. What for that. If that is the case I would be inclined to first if possible take the system down and re-seat all SCSI/SATA cables both ends (disk and mobo) and all disk power supply plugs. Reboot and see if the problem persists. If it does, then most likely one of the disks is faulty. It's possible but unlikely that the raid controller is faulty. All the moving parts are the disks.

You could remove the faulty raid1 drive (the one continuously resyncing) and put it on another machine running diagnostics. Perhaps completely reformat and try again. Otherwise, it's a new disk required.

Hi,


the status is shown as optimal. I would guess that if a disk is failed or failing raidctl would show that? How can I identify which of the two disks are bad if raidctl claims everything is ok. I have powered down the server many times. I have not replugged all the cables yet. I will give it a try.

Watch for a repeat of resyncing. If it keeps happening something is wrong (probably with one of the disks). You will also see high disk activity on the disk LEDs which might be easier to spot than keep doing a raidctl.

Do I need to issue a command in order to remove one of the disks? Is the raid hotplug capable?
# 6  
Old 02-13-2020
Yes, the onboard raid is hotplug capable but, of course, you need to be sure that you're pulling the right disk.

With the system down you can pull out and re-seat both of them to try to ensure good connection with the hotplug sockets.

Also, from your original post, it shows that c1t0d0 is the disk being rebuilt (RESYNCING) and c1t1d0 is running OK.
