The management module displays version 10.03.00 with build 130517 using the SSSU command EMVERSION. Which is the same as the version of Command View on the browser. I also have a management server using Command View 9.2 but I get the same result.
I don't know how to get the firmware version of the controller. Can you tell me how to get it?
Thank you
Look at XCS version below:
I can't select the system to get the firmware version. I removed all hdds so I can at least select the system but when I go to the Status Summary tab I get an error:
Status code: 8033: Storage system already uninitialized or does not exist
What can I do?
Thanks
When I put the disks in again, the system goes to a failed state and there is nothing more I can do. By the way, I can see the firmware version now which is 09531000.
Also, I forgot to mention that the 8 disks I have are not the same: 6 of them are 15k rpm 600GB and the other 2 are 10k 450GB. The second 2 are connected to the disk appliance 1 and the first 6 are connected to the disk appliance 2. Is this a problem?
I'm getting a little desperate here. Can I just wipe everything out and start fresh? As I told you before I have no data to recover so maybe it is time to update the Firmware and do a system restore to get a clean slate.
Thank you for your help, I really appreciate it!
I would connect a single disk enclosure first, all 8 disks in and maybe a single controller only, then initialize the array. Once this is done, consider to upgrade the firmware.
Since you have nothing to lose, go directly to 11300000, uninitialize and initialize again.
I think I'll do that!!
Is it ok to update from Command View 10.3? Is that the recommended version for 11300000?
Thanks
Ok, so I tried to upgrade to 11300000 but at the final step Command View tells me that the port has changed to 2374. Which is the port I'm using!!
Mmm, any advice?
Thanks
I'm not exactly sure what you did.
You call commandview in your browser. Until CV version <10.x it was
https://server_name or IP_address:2372
in later versions it is
https://server_name or IP_address:2374
For the system settings of the management module you call
https://IP_address-of-MM:2373
You need to install
https://h20392.www2.hpe.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=P6000_CV10.3
on your server and the included "ABM.pkg" on the module.
Here you get the firmware of the EVA
https://h20392.www2.hpe.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=T4256-63161
Latest firmware for the disks is here
Ok, I managed to install Command View 10.3 on Windows Server 2012 and updated EVA's firmware to 11300000.
Then I uninitialized the system using the system settings of the management module at https://192.168.0.1:2373.
Finally, using Windows Server 2012 Command View 10.3, I initialized the system and now everything is working fine at last!!
Thank you so much for your help!
Hi,
We have a HP MSA1000 with 2x MSA30 disk shelves and 1x256mb cache controller. We are unable to see the disks 8-14 on both of the MSA 30's but can see 1-14 on the MSA1000 itself. Can anyone help us see the other disks?
Thanks
How many SCSI ports are on the MSA30?
2?
Are the right connectors both connected to the same I/O module of the MSA1000?
You probably have a bad I/O module.
The cable is relatively simple to make yourself. All you need is a RJ11 (6pin) cable and a DB9 (PC serial) female connector. You can use a cable from a telephone or modem. Cut off one RJ11 connector and solder the DB9 to that end.
RJ11 DB9
3+4 -> 5
5 -> 3
2 -> 2
3 and 4 are the two center pins of the RJ11 and they both go to ground (5 at DB9), the two pins left and right from the ground are RECV_DATA and TX_DATA.
This is the cable I made for the HSG80 and it works:

The command to set a lost serial number on a HSG80, HSZ40 etc. is:
HSZ> dangerous x serial="CX25251010" PRE
If the SN is lost, the controller will set a default SN of CX20100000 and it will refuse to work like that. The correct SN can be found on the controller cover or mainboard.
I use HP3PAR10800 and I have two types of drive SSD (32 hard disk 100GB and 32 hard disk 500GB) . I created a CPG which include 64 my SSD. I configure tier automatic FC & SSD.
And I have problem:
SSD 100GB always allocated 98%. I don't understand what it 's mechanism. and Should I filter 32 SSD disk 500GB when I create CPG?
Help me??????????????
This is a common issue when a system has a device type with multiple drive sizes.
A Common Provisioning Group (CPG) will attempt to keep the chunklet allocation even across all of its drives. If there are drives of difference sizes, the smaller drives will fill up first. Once the smaller drives are full, any subsequent logical disk allocations will occur across the remaining disks with free space.
You may want to add a second CPG. Keep the current one with all 64 drives (for very high performance) and a second with just the 500GB SSDs (for high performance). Use the "-tc_gt" as part of the CPG's pattern. You would then use Dynamic Optimization to move volumes from the very high performance CPG to the high performance CPG.
Thanks for your reply.
Now Need I change CPG in the bigger capacity SSD to reduce allocate the smaller SSD?
You can leave the existing SSD CPG alone. Let any volumes needing the highest IO rates use all 64 drives.
Dear Mike, appreciated.
