I need a solution
Hi,
We have a new appliance 5230 installed as media server. But when we try to use the expension unit, we cannot add it to the storage to use it.
Here is the result of the command in the appliance to show storage :
Storage> show
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Device | Total | Unallocated | Status
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Appliance Operating System (sda) | 930.38 GB | - | In Use
Base Unit Storage (unit_1) | 4.5429 TB | 937.84 MB | In Use
Base Unit Storage (unit_2) | 23.635 TB | 0 GB | In Use
Base Unit Storage (unit_1)
--------------------------
Catalog : 1 GB
Deduplication: 4.5410 TB
----------------------------------------------------------------
Partition | Total | Available | Used | %Used
----------------------------------------------------------------
AdvancedDisk | 0 GB | 0 GB | 0 GB | 0
Deduplication | 4.5410 TB | 4.5044 TB | 37.435 GB | 1
Unallocated | 937.84 MB | - | - | -
When we try to add it :
Storage> Add unit_2
- [Info] Checking the type of the 'unit_2' device...
- [Info] Checking the state of the 'unit_2' expansion unit device storage...
- [Error] Unable to 'add' the 'disk_2' device storage. Specified device is not an expansion unit.
Here is the result in linux to show the disks :
# vxdisk -o alldgs list
DEVICE TYPE DISK GROUP STATUS
disk_1 auto:sliced disk_1 nbuapp online
disk_2 auto - - error
sda auto:none - - online invalid
When we try to initialize it, we got this :
# vxdisk -f init disk_2 type=auto format=sliced
VxVM vxdisk ERROR V-5-1-5433 Device disk_2: init failed:
Disk Ioctl failed
Any idea with this ?
