Hi all, Thanks to you all who sent ideas on how to correct my disc problems. This was the second Seagate ST32550N drive to go bad, so, back to hp drives (even though many of them, from what I understand, are OEM'd Seagate drives). Now, we're looking at RAID solutions. Is the HP Model 10 (A3231A / A3388A) the only SCSI raid available for the 3k? A hardware vendor I spoke with today said that we could buy a Seagate raid system which he says is the same unit as HP's except without HP's logo, and it'll work just fine. Since we haven't had very good luck with the Seagate drives, we're wary of this. Anyone have any thoughts regarding raid systems for the 3k? Thanks, -Mike- ------------- Original Text From: Mike Liening@MIS@VMED, on 11/4/96 10:26 AM: Hi all, Got to work this morning and was told there was a disc problem over the weekend with disc io error messages being displayed. When bringing up the system, ldev 3 (the third of three drives) says it wasn't mounted. Volutil shows all three drives, MEMBER1, MEMBER2 and MEMBER3 when I do a SHOWSET MPEXL_SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET VOLUMES SYSGEN shows the three drives DSTAT only shows the first two drives. Does it sould like I have a physically bad drive? Or is there something I can do to mount the drive? Recover the data? Or am I stuck with a reload... Thanks, -Mike-
