Storwize V5010 with Code Level 8.1.1.0 not working

aklausing

Hi,

maybe I need new glasses but I was not able to find an answer for my problem.
I am just in testing STOR2RRD (appliance on vmware) with a brand new IBM V5010 that already has been updated to code level 8.1.1.0.

Even after an hour of waiting I cannot see the storage listed. Two also attached brocade fc switches work fine. So it seems like a problem with the storage and not the appliance itself. The config_check.sh script says "ok" for the storage.

In the error log I see:

scp: /dumps/svc.config.cron.xml_7814T08-2: No such file or directory

svcconfig.pl: ERROR: Command "scp -i /home/lpar2rrd/.ssh/id_rsa  lpar2rrd@192.168.201.51 /home/lpar2rrd/stor2rrd/data/v5010" failed.

This line repeats in the log.

The output log tells me the following:

/home/lpar2rrd/stor2rrd/bin/svc_stor_load.sh: 2018-01-17_17:15 : Command svcconfig.pl ends with return code 1

Any suggestions on that? Code level? Something I am missing?

Hi,

can you try it manually?

su - lpar2rrd
scp -i /home/stor2rrd/.ssh/id_rsa  lpar2rrd@192.168.201.51:/dumps/svc.config.cron.xml_7814T08-2 /home/lpar2rrd/stor2rrd/data/v5010/svc.config.cron.xml_7814T08-2

can you check if /dumps/svc.config.cron.xml_7814T08-2  exist on the storage?

Hi,

I tested your commands before opening the stor2rrd website again... and they work.
After that I had a look at the monitoring dashboard ... and the V5010 is listed.

Looking at the audit log of the storwize, it seems that at around 00:01 the system copied the necessary files:

"18.01.18 00:01:06",admin,"satask cpfiles -prefix /dumps/svc.config.cron.*_7814T08-2 -source 01-2 01-1 ",

And after that the lpar2rrd user started the stats intervall:

"18.01.18 00:01:27",lpar2rrd,"svctask startstats -interval 5",

Is this a behavior of the new storwize code or could that have happened with older code levels as well? I never saw this behavior before with a storwize storage. They sometimes need a minute ... but not hours.

Regards,
Andreas

Hi,

I see for the first time, I have no explanation ...
As per your previous logs xml file was not /dumps/svc.config.cron.xml_7814T08-2 file on the storage. Hard to say why ...
