Note Before replacing the drive, ensure that environmental conditions are within published specifications for the system. If not, correct the environmental problems first, and then replace the drive.
The grown defect list has exceeded the threshold for the specified hard drive. The hard drive at the given address (identified by hba #, id # in the alarm string) is experiencing more media errors (identified by def:# in the alarm string) than anticipated. Although the drive is still operating properly, it should be replaced before it fails completely.
To ensure the safety of your data, back up all data on the designated drive (identified by the hba # and id #) now. To identify the drive that should be replaced, run HP Diagnostic Assistant from your HP NetServer's HP Utility Partition or the HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM.
Replace the failed hard drive with a new one. During HP's Hardware Warranty period, Hewlett-Packard will replace the HP SCSI-based hard disk drive. For more information, contact your dealer, or HP Customer Service Representative. See your User Guide for more details on technical service and support.
If your drive is part of a properly configured hot swap RAID, it may be swapped out with a good drive, while the server is still up, and automatically reconstruct the data from the failed drive.
This alarm will only be repeated if the number of errors increases, the HP Predictive Failure Monitor program is re-loaded, or upon server reboot.
This entry appears in the alarm log when one of the hot swap drives in the server has powered down unexpectedly. Make a note of the cage location (upper or lower) and the device ID and check the drive to see if the drive has failed.
This entry appears in the alarm log when one of the server's hot swap drives has been removed.
This entry appears in the alarm log when one of the server's hot swap drives has been inserted in the server.
This entry appears in the alarm log when one of the server's hot swap drives has been either removed or inserted.
This entry appears in the alarm log when the agent on the server is reporting invalid data from the built-in temperature sensor in the server's Hot Swap Subsystem. If you receive this error, there is probably a problem with your server's Hot Swap Subsystem temperature sensing hardware. Check to see if there was a power-on self-test (POST) error message on the server indicating problems with the server's built-in temperature sensor. Note that the server's front panel temperature status indicator should be green when the server is on and operating temperature is normal. For more information about your server's temperature sensor or a specific POST error number, refer to the system documentation that came with the server.
This entry appears in the alarm log when the maximum operating temperature for normal server Hot Swap Subsystem operation has been reached. You should quit applications and power down the server to protect its Hot Swap Subsystem hardware from damage. Note that on some HP NetServer models the hard disk status lights of all drives in server's Hot Swap Subsystem will simultaneously flash yellow during a temperature warning.
This event may indicate one of the following conditions:
This entry appears in the alarm log when the maximum operating temperature for normal server Hot Swap Subsystem operation is exceeded. To avoid permanent damage to your server Hot Swap Subsystem hardware, go and turn off the server immediately. Note that on some HP NetServer models the hard disk status lights of all drives in the server's Hot Swap Subsystem will simultaneously flash red during a temperature emergency.
This event may indicate one of the following conditions:
Note that for some HP NetServer models (such as the HP NetServer LS), you can set the server to automatically shut down for this event by configuring an option in the EISA Configuration Utility. On models with the HP Remote Assistant, you can set this in the HP Remote Assistant Configuration Utility (see your system or accessory documentation).
This alert indicates that a SCSI cable, Jumper or Duplex Connector has either been disconnected or removed from one of the server's hot swap cages (indicated by n). This may leave some SCSI devices installed in the cage inaccessible.
Check the server to ensure that all the required SCSI cables, jumpers or duplex connectors are correctly connected to both the cage and/or the controller.
This alert indicates that a SCSI cable, jumper or duplex connector has been attached in one of the server's hot swap cages (indicated by n). This message is informational. No action is required.
This alert indicates that a SCSI terminator was removed from one of the server's hot swap cages (indicated by n). This may leave some SCSI devices installed in the cage inaccessible.
Check the server to ensure that the required SCSI terminator is properly connected to the hot swap cage.
This alert indicates that a SCSI terminator has been attached in one of the server's hot swap cages (indicated by n). This message is informational. No action is required.
This alert indicates a system voltage failure. The cause of this failure can be one of two things:
This alert indicates that a SCSI Duplex board was removed from one of the server's hot swap cages (indicated by n). Operating the system that previously had a SCSI Duplex board may leave some SCSI devices installed in the cage inaccessible or no longer used as mirrored devices (lowering the system's fault tolerence and possibly leading to data loss). Check the server to ensure that if a SCSI Duplex board is required, it is properly connected to the hot swap cage.
This alert indicates that a SCSI Duplex board has been inserted in one of the server's hot swap cages (indicated by n). This message is informational. No action is required.
This alert indicates that the SCSI Bus Type has changed for one of the server's hot swap cages (indicated by n). Your system has a SCSI bus that supports different types of SCSI devices. The supported device types include SE (Single-Ended) and LVD (Low Voltage Differential). NOTE: HVD (High Voltage Differential) SCSI devices are not supported by HP for this drive cage.
The two supported SCSI bus types will vary system SCSI performance and SCSI cable length support, with Single-Ended devices providing the lowest performance/cable length support and LVD devices providing the highest. The SCSI bus on your system will match the device type of the lowest performing device on that bus. So, if you have all LVD drives and you replace one with a Single-Ended drive, the bus will change from LVD to single-ended.
If your system requires a higher performing SCSI bus type (such as LVD) to support longer cable lengths, do not use single-ended devices on the same bus.
This alert indicates that a SCSI terminator was either inserted in, or removed from, one of the server's hot swap cages (indicated by n). If a SCSI terminator was inserted, you need do nothing. If a SCSI terminator was removed. this may leave some SCSI devices installed in the cage inaccessible. Check the server to ensure that the required SCSI terminator is properly connected to the hot swap cage.
