hi All,
Re below – thanks for the replies to the fsck question.
I have run fsck –r /data and this eventually completed with several changes made.
Now I am getting the following error from the qla2xxx driver on boot
.
.
.
qla2xxx 0000:05:0d.0: Mailbox command timeout occured. Scheduling ISP abort.
qla2xxx 0000:05:0d.0: Mailbox command timeout occured. Scheduling ISP abort.
.
etc
.
It looks like some administration of the HSV controlled SAN device layer itself is required – we
are now not even getting the boot process as far as the filesystem layer.
(Anybody know exactly what that message indicates – e.g. whether a hardware fault or
HSV SAN config issue ?)
googling this , somebody suggested a media scan from my storage array firmware,
then backing up the array and reinitializing logical disks and started fresh….however
if anybody has some more specific info than that, that would be great. (I don’t
have administrative access to these devices in any case)
Looks like may have fsck’d on top of a wobbly device layer which probably does not
bode well :-(
(I will summarise all of this to the list at some stage )
Cheers
AMcC
