There is a serious problem with md1k-2, one of the PowerVault MD1000's connected to s3.  It will get into a state where two disks appear to have failed.  A two-disk failure when using RAID-5 would mean complete data loss.  Fortunately, I've found a remedy that is allowing us to copy the data to a different array.

The following things need to be done:
 
−
# Copy the data from md1k-2 to md1k-2 (see [[#Copying_data_from_md1k-2_to_md1k-1|Copying data]] below).
 
−
# Call Dell to resolve this problem.
 
−
# Adjust links in /afs/bx.psu.edu/depot/data/schuster_lab/sequencing/archive to reflect new data location.
 
−
 
 
−
It seems unlikely that so many disks would fail so close together.  I'm thinking it might be a problem with the PowerVault MD1000 itself.

I've narrowed down the error by looking through the adapter event logs.  There will be two errors, one followed about 45 seconds after the first:
 
−
<pre>
 
−
Tue Mar 23 23:09:56 2010  Error on PD 31(e2/s0) (Error f0)
 
−
Tue Mar 23 23:10:43 2010  Error on PD 30(e2/s1) (Error f0)
 
−
</pre>

−
After that, the virtual disk goes offline.

If you go into the server room, you'll see flashing amber lights on the disks in md1k-2 slot 0 and 1.  I can md1k-2 back using the following procedure (replace slot 0 and 1 which whichever slots are appropriate):
 
−
 
 
−
# Take the disks in md1k-2 slots 0 and 1 about half-way out and then push them back in.
 
−
# Wait a few seconds for the lights on md1k-2 slots 0 and 1 to return to green.
 
−
# Press the power button on s3 until it turns off.
 
−
# Press the power button on s3 again to turn it back on.
 
−
# Log into s3 as root after it has finished booting.
 
−
 
 
−
I then import the foreign configuration.  The disk in md1k-2 slot 1 is fine, but the disk in slot 0 needs to be rebuild.
 
−
<pre>
 
−
[root@s3: ~/storage]# MegaCli -CfgForeign -Scan -a0
 
−
                                   
 
−
There are 2 foreign configuration(s) on controller 0.
 
−
 
 
−
Exit Code: 0x00
 
−
[root@s3: ~/storage]# MegaCli -CfgForeign -Import -a0
 
−
                                   
 
−
Foreign configuration is imported on controller 0.
 
−
 
 
−
Exit Code: 0x00
 
−
[root@s3: ~/storage]# ./check_disk_states
 
−
PhysDrv [ 18:0 ] in md1k-2 is in Rebuild state.
 
−
 
 
−
command to check rebuild progress:
 
−
MegaCli -PDRbld -ShowProg -PhysDrv [ 18:0 ] -a0
 
−
 
 
−
command to estimate remaining rebuild time:
 
−
./time_left 18 0
 
−
[root@s3: ~/storage]# MegaCli -PDRbld -ShowProg -PhysDrv [ 18:0 ] -a0
 
−
                                   
 
−
Rebuild Progress on Device at Enclosure 18, Slot 0 Completed 56% in 139 Minutes.
 
−
 
 
−
Exit Code: 0x00
 
−
[root@s3: ~/storage]# ./time_left 18 0
 
−
time_left: PhysDrv [ 18:0 ] will be done rebuilding in about 1:49:12
 
−
</pre>
 
−
 
 
−
After the disk is finished rebuilding, reboot s3 and md1k-2 will be available once again.

=== Copying data from md1k-2 to md1k-1 ===
 
−
 
 
−
zpool md1k-2 contains zfs filesystem md1k-2/archive which is mounted on s3:/zfs/md1k-2/archive.
 
−
s3:/zfs/md1k-2/archive contains archives of 454 runs from May 2009 through December 2009 and all of the Illumina runs from 2009.
 
−
 
 
−
We're copying the data from md1k-2 to md1k-1.  There are about 7TB of data on md1k-2.  Only 485GB has been copied to md1k-1 so far.  Once md1k-2 is back online (should be about 1:30pm Monday March 29), I'll continue copying the data to md1k-1.
 
−
 
 
−
First, I make a few changes to facilitate the data copy:
 
−
<pre>
 
−
[root@s3: ~/storage]# zfs unshare md1k-2/data
 
−
[root@s3: ~/storage]# zfs unshare md1k-2/archive
 
−
[root@s3: ~/storage]# zfs unshare md1k-1/archive
 
−
[root@s3: ~/storage]# zpool set failmode=continue md1k-2
 
−
[root@s3: ~/storage]# zfs set checksum=off md1k-2/archive
 
−
</pre>
 
−
 
 
−
Then, I use rsync within a screen to copy the data:
 
−
<pre>
 
−
[root@s3: ~/storage]# screen
 
−
[root@s3: ~/storage]# cd /zfs/md1k-2/archive
 
−
[root@s3: ~/storage]# rsync -Pav sequencing /zfs/md1k-1/archive
 
−
</pre>
 
−
 
 
−
After the rsync starts copying the data, I type <code>control-a control-d</code> to detach the screen session (that's control-a followed by a control-d).
 
−
 
 
−
TO reconnect to the screen session:
 
−
<pre>
 
−
[root@s3: ~/storage]# screen -r
 
−
</pre>
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
When copying is finished, undo the previous changes:
 
−
<pre>
 
−
[root@s3: ~/storage]# zfs set checksum=on md1k-2/archive
 
−
[root@s3: ~/storage]# zpool set failmode=wait md1k-2
 
−
</pre>
 
−
 
 
−
After all of the data has been copied, you'll need to delete and re-create the md1k-2 zpool.
 
−
 
 
−
