I have an issue in Dell MDSM (Modular Disk Storage Manager), which reported unreadable sectors detected. In MDSM I went to the Support tab and chose gather support information in order to save the support information to a zip file on the server running MDSM.
Inside this zip file was a file called unreadableSectors.txt. This file showed this:
Virtual Disk LUN Accessible By Date/Time Virtual Disk LBA Physical Disk Location Physical Disk LBA Failure Type
Storage 1 Host D9VM2950 6/25/13 12:49:49 AM 0x5ae76c9a Enclosure 0, Slot 15 0xf26929a Logical
Storage 1 Host D9VM2950 6/25/13 12:49:33 AM 0x5ae76d9a Enclosure 0, Slot 10 0xf26929a Physical
When I use the SMcli and runthe command: clear allVirtualDisks unreadableSectors , the cursor seems to be waiting for another command?
I would like to clear these errors so I can reboot the MD3000 to see which physical disk(s) is or are having an issue. I then plan to fail the problematic disk with the SMcli command: set physicalDisk [0,x] operationalState=failed command, let my hot spare take over, and then replace the failed drive(s).
Any help is greatly appreciated. This is an older MD3000 and is out of Dell support.
