Failing Hard Drive
Looking to shed a little more light on a suspected hard drive issue.
DataCenter Engineer said the F5 LTM has a blighting light complaining about a hard drive failure.
I don't show anything on the system (unless I'm looking in the wrong place)
Can someone direct me to some useful documentation to help determine if there is a hard drive problem.
Thanks for the help!
- hooleylistCirrostratusYou could check /var/log/ltm for bad sector or other HDD related errors. Or you could run the End User Diagnostic to check definitively.
- nitassEmployeehave u checked /var/log/kern.log? hdd error is usually shown there.
- cxcal_18687NimbostratusThanks!
- TechgeeegNimbostratusYes EDU will help you to find out where the problem exactly is....
- cxcal_18687NimbostratusCan a filesystem check be performed remotely or does it require you to connected to via console in single user mode?
- hooleylistCirrostratusOnly in single user mode as the drive needs to be unmounted:
- cxcal_18687NimbostratusCan someone explain what the "undefined" indicates?
- hooleylistCirrostratusThat's just showing that there isn't a RAID array defined for the compact flash. I see the same thing on a working 8900:
Sys::Raid::Disk Name Serial Number Array Member Array Status ------------------------------------------------------ CF1 B85131BGBCR209131600 no undefined HD1 WD-WCAT18687337 yes ok HD2 WD-WCAT18687750 yes ok
