2. Disk OperationsExpress5800/R320c-E4, R320c-M4 Maintenance Guide (VMware) 97Chapter 2 Configuring and Upgrading the System2.4.2 Restoring the redundant configuration manuallyThis section provides information on how to replace a failing internal disk and restore duplication.Important • This must be operated by root user.• While the replaced disk is restoring to the RAID configuration, do notstop/restart the system when the reconfigured each RAID device is inRECOVERY. Wait until the status indication of them disappears and the status ofeach disks become "in_sync". ( It comes to take time depending on disk space.)1. To isolate the failing disk from redundant configuration, run the esxcli storage mpm fail and esxclistorage mpm remove commands with device name and kernel device name specified.Note The remove command will fail if disk status is other than [faulty]. You should change diskstatus by running fail command in advance. Run the remove command withoutintermission because the disk status returns to [in_sync] in a short time after running thefail command.The following is an example of command prompt for the procedure from isolating the internal disk storedin the slot 0 of PCI Module 1.# esxcli –s xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx storage mpm listInfo------------------------------------------------------mpm0 : 143066368 blocks (139713 MB) [2/2]\_ vmhba100500:C0:T0:L0 (10/40/1) [ in_sync ]\_ vmhba110500:C0:T0:L0 (11/40/1) [ faulty ]# esxcli –s xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx storage mpm fail –v mpm0 –d vmhba110500:C0:T0:L0# esxcli –s xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx storage mpm remove -v mpm0 –d vmhba110500:C0:T0:L0# esxcli –s xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx storage mpm listInfo------------------------------------------------------mpm0 : 143066368 blocks (139713 MB) [1/2]\_ vmhba100500:C0:T0:L0 (10/40/1) [ in_sync ]Unused disks:- vmhba110500:C0:T0:L0 (11/40/1)
