Issue

  • Multiple drives are in an offline state in the SANtriciy management appliaction.
  • The E-Series logs (vdmShowDriveList) indicate the drives' status is Acc/GrA/Off (Accessible/Group Assigned/Offline) or NP/GrA/Off (Not Present/Group Assigned/Offline).
  • The drives are fully seated, and none of the drives was physically missing from the enclosure.
  • A volume group is reporting as 'VGContingentState' in the vdmShowVGInfo output or in the SANtricity management application.
