Hi, I have a p410 smart array controller with 3 array
Note: controller and HDD have the lastest firmware installed
A) 1 SAS array (1x2disks) 148Gb hotswap
B) 1 SAS array (1x2disks) 300Gb hotswap
C) 1 Raid 1 SATA array with spare (1x2disks + spare) 250Gb NON HOTSWAP connected by cables
I cannot detach the spare from the array C in any way to reuse the channel for a new 600Gb SAS Raid 1array
with acucli , this should be the command
- controller slot=3 array C remove spares=all
but I get this error:
Error: This command did not complete properly. Please check your configuration
for possible hardware or configuration problems. Use the "show" command
on devices to show additional details about the configuration.
with the offline ACU gui nothing is allowed to be done on any disk.
Can someone help me please?
Thankyou in advance
Rudy
this is the output of
- ctrl all show detail config
..... everything seems to be ok
