After all the fun the other day I was hoping for some time to work on other stuff this week. By the end of the weekend the array had finishing syncing and I’d remirrored all the volumes back on to it. It was all ticking over nicely, until this morning…
Unrecoverable Controller Error Encountered ! Resetting Controller !
After which the array disappeared. On arrival at work I power cycled the unit and it came back up without any problems (albeit needing resyncing, again). But this isn’t good enough – the unit is still faulty.
So I’ve logged the case with Sun, again. They’re being remarkably slow to respond today, despite me logging it as high priority. But, as you’d expect, they just got it within their 4 hour SLA window.
So it continues…

- The T3 lives? After yesterdays saga I was looking forward to an easier day today, but I didn’t get it. At the end of my last post I was trying to disable the primary controller in the array.

- Bad things come in fives. Thursday 22 February. That’s the day it all went wrong. I was on my way home from a shopping trip at Sainsburys. We’d been on a Thursday instead of a Friday because we had to go to Cornwall on the Friday afternoon for a funeral (that’s bad thing number one). Just after leaving Sainsburys we came across [...]...
