Operation Safety Rules

The network management computer should be placed away from


direct sunlight, electromagnetic interference, heat source,
humidity and dust, and with at least 8cm distance from other
objects in order to keep good ventilation.

Use UPS power supply to avoid loss of network management


data caused by accidental power failure.

The computer case, UPS power supply and switch (or hub)
should be connected to protection earth ground.

To shut down the network management computer, first exit the


operation system normally and then shut off the power supply.

Do not exit the network management system when it is working


normally. Exiting the network management system does not
interrupt traffic in the network, but precludes centralized control of
the networked equipment.

The network management computer cannot be used for purposes


other than network management. Use of unidentified memory
devices should be prohibited so as to avoid computer viruses.

Do not delete any file in the network management system


randomly or copy any irrelevant file into the network management
computer.

Do not visit Internet via the network management computer.


Doing so may increase data flow in the net card and hence affects
normal network management data transmission or results in other
accidents.

V
Do not perform service configuration or expansion during service
busy hours via the network management system.

Do not modify the network management computer’s protocol


settings, computer name or LAN settings. Doing so may result in
abnormal operation of network management system.

1 Installation Overview

Along with the ever increasing scale of the communication network, the operators
do not only have requirements for easy-to-use of functions and management
capability of the EMS, but also have higher requirements for stability of the EMS. To
improve and guarantee stability, reliability and restoration of the UNM2000,
FiberHome introduces the 1+1 cluster hot standby tolerance solution for the
UNM2000.

To install the UNM2000 active / standby systems, you need to understand the
installation and deployment modes, and the software and hardware configuration
requirements of the UNM2000.

1.1 Deployment Mode

The UNM2000 supports three deployment modes, namely, local HA system with
one cabinet, local HA system with two cabinets and remote HA system with two
cabinets.

1.1.1 Local HA System with One Disk Array

This following introduces the network and working principle of the local HA system
with one disk array.

Network Diagram of Local HA System with One Disk Array

In the local HA system with one disk array solution, two servers are connected to
the same disk array through Fibre-Optic (FC) so that they can access the same
storage unit. By configuring the Redundant Arrays of Independent Disks (RAID) of
the disk array, you can achieve data reliability. Figure 1-1 shows the network of the
local HA system with one disk array.

Figure 1-1 Network Diagram of Local HA System with One Disk Array

2 Version: A
1 Installation Overview

Working Principle of Local HA System with One Disk Array

Figure 1-2 shows the working principle of the local HA system with one disk array.

Figure 1-2 Working Principle of Local HA System with One Disk Array

The cluster system provides services for the NMS by the floating IP address and
filter the difference after active / standby switching to implement uninterrupted
working.

When the active server is faulty, the Veritas Cluster Server (VCS) switches the
floating IP to the standby server and the disk array is loaded on the standby server.
In this situation, the standby server provides the GUI service by the floating IP
address and takes the active server's responsibilities.

1.1.2 Local HA System with Two Disk Arrays

This following introduces the network and working principle of the local HA system
with two disk arrays.

Network Diagram of Local HA System with Two Disk Arrays

Figure 1-3 shows the connection relationship among the components in the network
of local HA system with two disk arrays.

Figure 1-3 Network Diagram of Local HA System with Two Disk Arrays

Working Principle of Local HA System with Two Disk Arrays

Similar to the working principle of local HA system with one disk array, the local HA
system with two disk arrays has one more disk array as data storage mirroring,
which provides disk array backup to avoid hardware failure of disk array and data
loss. Figure 1-4 shows the working principle of the local HA system with two disk
arrays.

1.1.3 Remote HA System with Two Disk Arrays

This section introduces the network and working principle of the remote HA system
with two disk arrays.

Network Diagram of Remote HA System with Two Disk Arrays

Two servers are installed in different equipment rooms and connected through the
Data Communication Network (DCN). The disk array should be connected only to
the server in the same equipment room and implements data duplication by the
Veritas Volume Replicator (VVR) technology. shows the network diagram of the
remote HA system with two disk arrays.

Version: A 7
UNM2000 Network Convergence Management System (Based on Windows) Active/Standby System Installation Guide

Figure 1-7 Working Principle of Remote HA System with Two Disk Arrays

When the active server is working, it manages all the NEs through the gateway NE
"NE1" and write the configuration to the connected disk array DB1. Meanwhile, the
active and standby servers copies the bottom-layer I/O-changed actual data to the
remote disk array through the VVR replication technology. When unexpected
disaster occurs on the active server, the Global Cluster Option (GCO) monitors the
status in real time, switches the EMS services to the standby server and changes
the VVR direction to ensure uniqueness of the data. The UNM2000 automatically
modifies the EMS management program according to the configured IP address of
the server and monitors / manages the networkwide NEs through the gateway NE
"NE2".

4.1 Preparations Before Installation

Before installing the active/standby system (remote HA system with two disk arrays),
make sure the following preparations are done:

u The Qlogic optical fiber channel HBA card is installed on the active and
standby servers respectively.

u The hardware connection for the remote HA system with two disk arrays are
completed according to Checking Hardware Connections.

u The host names of the active and standby servers are set to WIN52 and WIN53
respectively (you can customize the host names in the Properties dialog box of
the server).

u The network card names of the active and standby servers are set. It is
recommended that you set the database network card, device network card
and heartbeat network card to TCPIP, DEVICE and HEARTBEAT respectively.

u The database IP address, device IP address and heartbeat IP address of the


active and standby servers are configured.

This manual takes the IP configuration planning as an example to introduce


how to configure the network card. In the following example, only two network
cards are configured for the database IP address and the device IP address
share the same network card.
Server Network card IP Description

Database IP address: Configures it


directly on the TCPIP network card.
10.170.1.52
Database Device IP address: Configures it directly
TCPIP network on the TCPIP network card.
card Floating IP address of the database: It is
10.170.1.54 bound when configuring the
Active FHEmsService resource group
server Heartbeat IP address: Configures it
10.0.0.1 directly on the HEARTBEAT network

Heartbeat card.
HEART-
network GCO heartbeat IP address: It is bound
BEAT
card when configuring the VCS
10.0.0.11
The replication resource group is
configured.

132 Version: A

10.0.0.2 directly on the HEARTBEAT network

Heartbeat card.
HEART-
network GCO heartbeat IP address: It is bound
BEAT
card when configuring the VCS
10.0.0.12
The replication resource group is
configured.

Note:

u The network for VVR volume replication should have sufficient


bandwidth according to the number of NEs managed by the EMS.
Generally, the rate of 50Mb/s should be guaranteed.

u The IP address used for VVR volume replication is bound with the
heartbeat network card.

u The IP address used for GCO heartbeat detection can be bound with
the database network card or heartbeat network card. In the project,
it is usually bound with the heartbeat network card.

u As the active and standby are deployed in different equipment rooms,


if the database IP address configured is on a different network
segment, the database floating IP address cannot be provided. Upon
active / standby switching, the upper-level system, such as the NMS
and client, requires modifying the connected IP address manually.

u The priorities of the network cards of the active and standby servers is set.
Their priorities from high to low should be: database network card > device
network card > heartbeat network card.

Version: A 133
UNM2000 Network Convergence Management System (Based on Windows) Active/Standby System Installation Guide

u Add the following information in the windows\system32\driver\etc\hosts file and

7.1.3 Global Cluster Troubleshooting

The following introduces the concepts of the disaster declaration and gives prompts
for configuration troubleshooting using the global cluster.

7.1.3.1 Disaster Declaration

When the status of a cluster in the global cluster changes to FAULTED, it cannot be
accessed any longer, and the failure will be forwarded according to the failure
reason (split brain, temporary interruption or permanent disaster).

If you take measures to process the cluster failures in the global cluster, the VCS
will prompt the type of the declared failure.

u Disaster: Indicates the primary data center will be lost forever.

u Outage: Indicates the primary data center may be restored back to its current
status at some time.

u Disconnect: Indicates split brain. Two clusters are started, but they are
disconnected.

u Replica: Indicates the data on the takeover target are consistent with the
backup source. When the service group is online, RVGPrimary will be started to
take over. This option is only applicable to the VVR environment.

Version: A 271
UNM2000 Network Convergence Management System (Based on Windows) Active/Standby System Installation Guide

You can select the groups whose failures are to be forwarded to the local cluster. In
this situation, the VCS will make these groups online on the node according to the
FailOverPolicy attribute of the selected groups. It will also mark these groups as
OFFLINE in other clusters. If no service groups are selected, the VCS will only mark
these groups as offline implicitly in the closed cluster without take any other
measures.

7.1.3.2 Lost Heartbeat and Query Mechanism

When the internal heartbeats between any two clusters or all external heartbeats
are lost, the remote cluster is faulty or the communication links between two clusters
are interrupted (wide area split brain).

When there are more than two clusters, they should be differentiated from each
other (system A and system B). You can query the remaining clusters to confirm that
the remote cluster that has lost the heartbeat transmission is closed. This
mechanism is called Query.

u In the dual-cluster configuration, if one connector loses all the heartbeats with
the other connector, the remote cluster is faulty.

u If there are more than two clusters, and one connector loses all the heartbeats
with another connector, the mechanism will query the status of the cluster
displayed in the remaining connector before declaring that the cluster is faulty.

u If the status of the cluster displayed in another connector is running (passive


query), the queried connector will change the status of the cluster to
UNKNOWN. This greatly reduces false cluster failures.

u If all connectors reports that the cluster is faulty (active query), the queried
connector will regard the cluster as a faulty one and change the status of the
remote cluster to FAULTED.

7.1.3.3 VCS Alerts

The VCS alert is identified by the alert ID, which consists of:

u alert_type - indicates the alert type.

u cluster - indicates the cluster that generates the alert.

272 Version: A
7 Failure Processing

u cluster - indicates the system in which the alert is generated.

u object - indicates the name of the VCS object for which the alert is generated.
The object can be the cluster or the service group.

The alert is generated in the following format:

alert_type-cluster-system-object

For example, GNOFAILA-Cluster1-Replication indicates the alert of the GNOFAILA


type generated for the Replication service group on cluster 1.

Alert Type

The VCS can generate the alerts of the following types.

u CFAULT - Indicates that the cluster is faulty.

u GNOFAILA - Failover cannot be implemented for the global group cannot be


removed when it is in the online cluster. If the ClusterFailOverPolicy attribute is
set to Manual, and the wide area connector (WAC) is correctly configure and is
running upon occurrence of the failure, this alert will be displayed.

u GNOFAIL - Indicates that failover cannot be implemented for the global group
in the cluster or remote cluster.

Note:

The possible reasons that failover to the remote cluster cannot be


implemented for the global group.
u ClusterFailOverPolicy is set to Auto or Connected, and the VCS
cannot determine the remote cluster to which the failures of the
group can be forwarded.

u ClusterFailOverPolicy is set to Connected, and the faulty cluster


cannot communicate with one or more remote cluster(s) in the
ClusterList of the group.

u The WAC is offline or is not correctly configured in the cluster where


faulty group locates.

Version: A 273
UNM2000 Network Convergence Management System (Based on Windows) Active/Standby System Installation Guide

Management Alert

The alert should be processed manually. You can respond to the alerts according to
the following methods:

u If the reason of the alert can be ignored, you can use the Alerts dialog box or
haalert command on the Java console or Web console to delete the alert.
You need to provide the remark on reason of the deleted alert and the VCS will
record the remark into the engine log.

u Adopt the corresponding operation for the management alert of the


corresponding operation. You can use the Java or Web console to perform the
relevant operations.

u When the cancellation event of the alert occurs, the VCS will delete or cancel
some alerts.

If the any of the above operations is not performed and the VCS engine (HAD) is
running on at least one node in the cluster, the management alert will last. If the
HAD is not running on any of the nodes in the cluster, the management alert will
disappear.

Operations Related to the Alert

The following introduces the operations performed for the following alert types
through the Java or Web console:

u CFAULT - When this type of alert occurs, click "Take Action" to guide users
through the failure forwarding of the global group (which is offline before the
failure occurs in the cluster).

u GNOFAILA - When this type of alert occurs, click "Take Action" to guide users
to forward the failure of the global group (which is in the running status in the
remote cluster) to the remote cluster.

u GNOFAIL - The console does not provide related operations for this alert.

Cancellation Event

When the faulty cluster returns to the running the status, the VCS will delete the
CFAULT alerts.

274 Version: A
7 Failure Processing

The VCS will delete the GNOFAILA and GNOFAIL alerts to respond to the following
events:

u The status of the group changes from FAULTED to ONLINE.

u The failure of the group is eliminated.

u The group is deleted from the cluster that generates the alert.

7.2 Disk Troubleshooting

7.2.2 Solving Common Problems

This section introduces how to solve the common problems.

7.2.2.1 Restoring the Off-line Dynamic Disk to Importing Status

This section introduces how to restore the off-line dynamic disk to importing status.

Note:

The off-line dynamic disk may be damaged or unavailable.

Procedure

1. Repair all the disk and controller, and make sure the disk is powered-on,
inserted into and connected with the PC.

2. Use the Rescan command to rescan all the devices on the SCSI bus, and
restore the disk to on-line status.

280 Version: A
7 Failure Processing

Select Rescan from the menu of Actions or right-click the StorageAgent node
in the tree view, and select Rescan. If many devices exist on the SCSI bus of
the PC, it may take a long time to rescan the bus. If a disk fails and the mirrored
volume or RAID-5 volume occurs, some new volumes will be created in other
positions during repairing.

3. If the disk is still off-line after rescaning, select this disk and execute the
Reactivate Disk command to restore the on-line status for the disk manually.

Click the disk icon in the tree view or Disk View and select the Reactivate Disk
command.

Note:

u The dynamic disks belonging to the Microsoft management group do


not support the Reactivate Disk.

u If reactivating the disk does not change the disk status, the disk or
the disk connection may be faulty.

4. Of the disk becomes on-line after the reactivating, check whether the volume is
running normally. If not, execute the Reactivate Volume command on the
volume.

Note:

The dynamic disks belonging to the Microsoft management group do not


support the Reactivate Volume command.

5. Run Chkdsk.exe to make sure the basic data on the disk is not damaged.

To run Chkdsk, open the CMD alert window and enter the following command.
chkdsk x:/f

x indicates the drive letter of the volume to be checked. /f indicates the any fault
discovered duing the repairing using Chkdsk. If /f is neglected, the Chkdsk will
run in read-only mode.

Chkdsk will clear the file system structure, but the invalid data may still exist on
the disk if you perform any operation when the disk is faulty. It is advisable to
run the utility program to check the completeness of the data. If the data is
damaged, replace the data with that in the backup.

Version: A 281
UNM2000 Network Convergence Management System (Based on Windows) Active/Standby System Installation Guide

7.2.2.2 Restoring the Basic Disk to the On-line Status

This section introduces how to restore the basic disk to the on-line status.

Note:

If the basic disk is damaged or unavailable, it will not be shown in the


VEA GUI.

Procedure

1. Repair all the disk and controller, and make sure the disk is enabled, inserted
into and connected with the PC.

2. Rescan all the devices on the SCSI bus using the Rescan command, so as to
restore the disk to the on-line status.

Select Rescan from the menu of Actions or right-click the StorageAgent node
in the tree view, and select Rescan. If many devices exist on the SCSI bus of
the PC, it may take a long time to rescan the bus. If a disk fails and the mirrored
volume or RAID-5 volume occurs, some new volumes will be created in other
positions during repairing.

3. If the disk is restored to the on-line status after rescanning, check whether the
volume is normal.

If not, restore the volume to the normal status. See Restoring the Basic Volume
to the Normal Running Status.

4. Run Chkdsk.exe to make sure the basic data on the disk is not damaged.

Even though the disk and volume are both restored to on-line status, it is
important to check whether the basic data is complete. To run Chkdsk, open the
CMD alert window and enter the following command.
chkdsk x:/f

x indicates the drive letter of the volume to be checked. /f indicates the any fault
discovered during the repairing using Chkdsk. If /f is neglected, the Chkdsk will
run in read-only mode. If the data is damaged, replace the data with that in the
backup.

7.2.2.3 Deleting the Disk from the Computer

The following introduces how to delete the disk from the computer.

Background Information

To identify the physical disk indicated by the disk in VEA GUI, use the "Ping Disk"
command. This command will make the indicator LED built in the physical disk
enclosure flash until the command is stopped running.

The disk can be deleted only after all the volumes on the disk are deleted. You can
remain any mirrored volumes on the disk by deleting the mirrored volume whose
status is Missing on the disk. Deleting a volume will destroy the data on it.
Therefore, delete the disk only when the disk is permanently damaged or
unavailable.

Procedure

u Delete the basic disk.

Delete the basic disk from the computer. Select Rescan from the Actions
menu and the disk and its volumes are no longer displayed on the GUI.

u Delete the dynamic disk.

1) If a dynamic disk remains in the Offline or Missing status and it incurs


failure that cannot be restored, select the disk in the dynamic disk group
and select Remove Disk from Dynamic Disk Group from the menu.

2) Make sure the disks to be deleted are displayed in the right pane of the
window. Click OK.

After the dynamic disk is deleted from the disk group, it will change to the
basic disk.

3) Delete the basic disk from the computer. Select Rescan from the Actions
menu and the disk and its volumes are no longer displayed on the GUI.

7.2.2.4 Restoring the External Disk to the Online Status

Restoring the external disk to the online status depends on the original context of
the disk.

Version: A 283
UNM2000 Network Convergence Management System (Based on Windows) Active/Standby System Installation Guide

Warning:

As a volume may span multiple disks (for example, a mirrored or RAID-5


volume), validate the disk configuration and then move all the disks
related to the volume. If not all the disks are moved, the status of the
volume may be Degraded or Failed.

disk group of the current computer, use Import Dynamic Disk Group to get the
disk online.

The procedures for adding an external disk that is originally created on another
computer are as follows:

1) Right-click the disk and select Import Dynamic Disk Group. A dialog box
appears, displaying the name of the dynamic disk group.

2) Specify the name of the dynamic disk group according to the following
requirements:

¡ To remain the original name, click "OK".

¡ To set a new name, enter the name in the "New name" dialog box and
then click OK.

3) To import the dynamic disk group from other system, click the check box to
clear the host IDs of other systems. Import the disk group. All the existing
volumes on the disk will be visible and accessible.

u If the external disk has an auxiliary disk group (that is, the dynamic disk group
other than the one that containing the booted disk or system disk of the computer)
and it is switched between the OSs on a dual-boot computer, use the Import
Dynamic Disk Group command.

If a disk on a dual-boot computer has one or more auxiliary dynamic disk group
(s), this disk will be marked as Foreign and not be imported to the auxiliary disk
group upon it being switched between OSs. In this situation, the shared primary
dynamic disk group on the disk will be imported automatically.

member of its original dynamic disk group, use the Merge Foreign Disk
command.

7.2.2.5 Restoring the Basic Volume to the Normal Running Status

This section introduces how to restore the basic volume to the normal running
status.

Procedure

1. Repair all the disk and controller, and make sure the disk is enabled, inserted
into and connected with the PC.

2. Select Rescan from the menu of Actions or right-click the StorageAgent node
in the tree view, and select Rescan. Rescan all the devices on the SCSI bus
and restore the disk to which the volume belongs to on-line status.

Note:

If many devices exist on the SCSI bus of the PC, it may take a long time
to rescan the bus.

7.2.2.6 Restore the Dynamic Volume to the Normal Status

The following introduces how to restore the dynamic volume to the normal status.

Procedure

1. Use the Rescan and Reactivate Disk commands to get offline the disk that the
volume belongs to.

Version: A 285
UNM2000 Network Convergence Management System (Based on Windows) Active/Standby System Installation Guide

Note:

u The dynamic disk belonging to the Disk Group of Microsoft Disk


Management does not support the Reactivate Disk command.

u If one of the disks is faulty and it contains the mirrored volume or


RAID-5 volume, the restoring process includes the part of creating
the volume on another location.

2. When the disk is reactivated and gets online, view whether the volume is
running normally or not. If it is not normal, try to run the Reactivate Volume
command on it.

Note:

The dynamic disk belonging to the Disk Group of Microsoft Disk


Management does not support the Reactivate Volume command.

3. Run Chkdsk.exe to make sure the structure of the basic file system keeps
unchanged.

To run Chkdsk, open the CMD command prompt window and enter the
command:
chkdsk x:/f

x indicates the drive letter to the volume to be checked. / f indicates the errors
detected during Chkdsk restoring. If the /f option is ignored, Chkdsk will run in
the read-only mode.

If the user is working upon occurrence of errors on the disk, invalid data will still
remain on the disk after the Chkdsk clears the file system structure. It is
recommended that you run the corresponding application to check the data
integrity. If the data are damaged, use the backup to replace them.

7.2.2.7 Restoring the Volume Containing Degraded Data After


Moving the Disk Between Computers

The following introduce how to restore the volume containing degraded data after
moving the disk between the computers.

286 Version: A
7 Failure Processing

If the disks are moved between computers using the Deport Dynamic Disk Group
and Import Dynamic Disk Group commands, and the mirrored volume or RAID-5
dynamic volume contained by these disks have degraded data, you can restore the
volumes containing the degraded data following the steps below.

Procedure

1. Deport their disks from the computers whether they currently locates and
physically move them back to the computers whether they originally located.

2. Use Rescan to make sure all disks are installed correctly.

The statuses of the volumes are Degraded before the disks are moved. After
they are moved back, their statuses are still Degraded.

3. Make sure the disks that contain degraded mirroring or parity check information
are not in the Offline status.

If the statuses are Offline, check whether hardware is faulty and then
reconnect the disk if necessary.

4. Use the Reactivate Disk command to get the disks online.

Note:

u The dynamic disk belonging to the Disk Group of Microsoft Disk


Management does not support the Reactivate Disk command.

u If the hardware failure is eliminated, the status of the disk will change
to Healthy, all the mirrored volumes on this disk will be synchronized
again and all the RAID-5 volumes will generate the parity check
again.

5. (Optional) If the volume are still in the Degraded status, use the Reactivate
Volume command.

If the Veritas Storage Foundation for Windows gets the volume online
successfully, the status of the volume changes to Healthy.

Version: A 287
UNM2000 Network Convergence Management System (Based on Windows) Active/Standby System Installation Guide

6. Deport the dynamic disk group and move all the disks on this dynamic disk
group to the second computer.

Move the disk group and all involved disks simultaneously to ensure the
volume on the second computer is Healthy.

7.2.2.8 Processing the Provider Error Upon Startup

The following introduces how to process the provider error upon SFW startup.

Background Information

In Veritas Storage Foundation for Windows, the provider is similar to the driver.
Each provider manages a specific hardware or software storage component. For
example, the disk provider manages all the disks that are regarded as disks by the
Windows OS. The provider detects the existing physical and logical entities and
stores the information in the distributed database of Veritas Storage Foundation for
Windows.

Procedure

1. If the error indicates the provider cannot be loaded is prompted upon startup of
Veritas Storage Foundation for Windows, right-click the managed server node
in the tree-like view of Veritas Enterprise Administrator and select Properties.
View the status of the provider in the displayed window.

The top of the window displays the providers loaded, and the bottom of the
window displays all the providers not loaded.

2. (Optional) If a provider fails to be loaded upon startup of Veritas Storage


Foundation for Windows, you need to find out the reason why the provider is
not loaded and then start the application.

7.2.3 Command or Procedure for Fault Elimination and


Restoration

This section introduces the command or procedure for fault elimination and
restoration.

290 Version: A
7 Failure Processing

7.2.3.1 Refresh

If the disk and volume are normal but the recent modification has not been updated
to the VEA GUI, you can use the Refresh command.

Function Description

The Refresh command can refresh the information on the drive letter of the PC, file
system, volume and removable media. This command also checks whether the
previously non-readable volume is readable now. If no I/O operation is performed on
the modified disk, this command cannot obtain the disk modification since the last
reboot / rescan.

Procedure

Select Refresh from the View or Actions menu of VEA, or right-click the
StorageAgent node in the tree view to select Refresh.

Note:

The Refresh command is only applicable to the StorageAgent node and


all of its sub-nodes.

7.2.3.2 Rescan

It is advisable to use the Rescan command when you modify the disk (such as
delete or add a disk). Rescanning may take several minutes, depending on the
device quantity on the SCSI bus.

Function Description

The Rescan command rescans the SCSI bus to discover the disk modification. It
shares the function with the Refresh command, refreshing the information on the
drive letter, file system, volume and removable media.

Procedure

Select Actions and Rescan in sequence from the tool bar.

Version: A 291
UNM2000 Network Convergence Management System (Based on Windows) Active/Standby System Installation Guide

Note:

u Click Tasks in the lower pane to bring up a progress bar. showing


the completed percentage of the rescan. After the Rescan command
is executed, you can view the detailed information of the system. If
the error mark persists, you should re-activate the disk or volume.

u The Rescan command only takes effect on the StorageAgent node


and its sub-nodes.

7.2.3.3 Replace Disk

If the disk fails or operates abnormally, you should replace the disk.

Function Description

The Replace Disk command replaces the faulty disk with an empty basic disk. It will
create the volume on the new disk. The content of non-redundancy volume is not
protected. The redundancy volume will be re-synchronized automatically. This
command is only applicable to the Missing disk. If the disk is replaced successfully,
the new disk will inherit the attributes (including disk name) of the previous one.

After the replacing, the faulty volume stays faulty on the replaced disk because
there is no valid data to be copied. If the previous disk is re-connected to the system
after being replaced, it will be shown as a foreign disk on the VEA console. The
system will create a disk group named Unknown Dg. Use the Merge Foreign Disk
command to re-add the disk into the previous dynamic disk group.

Note:

The dynamic disks in the Microsoft disk management group do not


support the Replace Disk command.

292 Version: A
7 Failure Processing

Procedure

1. Right-click Missing Disk and select Replace Disk. A dialog box will appear to
show the list of the empty basic disks.

2. Select a disk to replace the missing disk. Click OK to replace disk.

7.2.3.4 Merge Foreign Disk

The Merge Foreign Disk command is used to merge the foreign disk.

Function Description

If you have deleted a disk from the server and from Veritas Storage Foundation for
Windows, you can use the Merge Foreign Disk command to re-connect it to the
server as a member of the same dynamic disk group. The Merge Foreign Disk
command will restore the disk to the original status to serve as a member of the
dynamic disk group to which the disk belongs previously.

You should also use this command when you re-install a disk in the previous server
after you deleted it when the disk group was off-line, and connected the disk to other
server. This command is required because the disk has the disk group ID of other
server.

Note:

The dynamic disks in the Microsoft management disk group do not


support the Merge Foreign Disk command.

Procedure

1. Re-connect the disk to the previous server.

2. On the VEA console, select Rescan in the menu of Actions to re-scan. The
disk will be shown in the tree with a red cross. The dynamic disk group will be
shown as Unknown Group.

2. In the dialog box that appears, click Yes to reactivate the disk.

After the reactivation, the disk should be marked as Online if no mechanical or


other severe problem exists.

7.2.3.6 Reactivate Volume

The Reactivate Volume command re-synchronizes the volume to make it in the


Healthy status.

Function Description

If the dynamic volume is faulty, you should re-connect the disks in which this volume
belongs to the server using the Rescan command (if this command is unavailable,
use the Reactivate Disk command). After one or multiple disks are re-connected to
the server, if the volume is not restored to the Healthy status, you can use the

Volume command to re-generate the volume.

u If the basic disk of the volume is normal, the volume may be restored
to the Healthy status, though its data may be damaged or invalid. It
is advisable to run Chkdsk.exe before using this volume. If you fail to
run Chkdsk, you should re-format the volume and restore its content
from backup.

7.2.3.7 Repair Volume (for Dynamic Volume RAID-5)

This section introduces how to repair the dynamic RAID-5 using the Repair volume
command. The Repair volume command deletes the damaged part in the volume
and re-create the deleted part on the other position on the normal dynamic disk.
