Applies to

  • NetApp E-Series
  • Dynamic Disk Pools (DDP)
  • RAID6 Volume Groups (VG)

Event Summary

The controller detected a data parity mismatch and isolated the mismatch to a single drive.

Validate

If the CRITICAL event of Isolation of drive causing redundancy mismatch or Data/parity mismatch on volume gets reported by ASUP, it is required to execute this procedure.

Resolution

  1. Perform a volume parity scan and repair.

    1. From the Support > Events section in SANtricity System Manager, identify the most recent Media scan operation (Event ID 2022) before the isolation event was logged.

    2. If this is a isolation event against a single drive perform the steps immediately after this step. If against multiple proceed to step 3. 

      1.  Check the volume that is being scanned, ensure it has completed the scan on that volume. 

        • Media scan (scrub) started - Volume_1

        • Media scan (scrub) completed - Volume_1

      2. Verify once the scan completes no additional events against other drives in the volume 
        • If other drives are flagged please skip down to the main list of steps. 
      3. If no other events:

        The solution might require a part replacement. Please contact NetApp Technical Support or log into the NetApp Support Site to create a case. Reference this article for further assistance.

    3. Follow the steps described in the following articles as applicable to check and repair the data/parity mismatch if this is across multiple drives or volumes:

      1. Using CLI on systems running pre-11.80 OS: How to check/repair volume parity errors on E-Series arrays running pre-11.80 OS

      2. Using API on systems running 11.80 or newer OS: How to check/repair volume parity errors on E-Series arrays running 11.80 or newer OS via API

      3. Using CLI on systems running 11.80 or newer OS: How to check/repair volume parity errors via CLI on E-Series arrays running 11.80 or newer

    4.  If additional volumes exist in the volume group or disk pool, then the scan/repair is recommended to those volumes as well.

  2. After the scan/repair is completed, and only if the isolation of drive causing redundancy mismatch identified a unique (singular) drive, the fail and replace the drive. When failing the drive leave the Copy Content Before Fail box unchecked.
