Hardware Problems
PROBLEM VFP Status Not "Ready"
SOLUTION If the array status displayed in the VFP is not "Ready", perform the following
steps:
1 Reset the array:
vfpmgr -R full
When the reset is complete, check the array status. If it still not Ready,
continue with the next step.
2 Display array status information:
vfpdsp -s
Analyze the status information and attempt to identify the problem. If you
cannot identify the problem, continue with the next step.
Caution The next step will destroy all data on the array. If this is
unacceptable, contact support for assistance. A new array that
includes the “Instant Ignition” option contains data that will be
lost when formatting the array.
3 Format the array:
vfpfmt
When the format is complete, check the array status. If it still not Ready,
continue with the next step.
4 Display array status information:
vfpdsp -s
At the end of the status output is the array status information. Record this
information, and contact support for assistance.
