VNX How To Remote Power On Off A Disk

This document discusses how to remotely power cycle a disk using the navicli/naviseccli command if it is faulted on one SP but not the other according to the system logs. The command naviseccli cru_on_off -messner X_X_X N, where N is 0 to power off and 1 to power on, needs to be run from both SPs to effectively power cycle the disk. Running this command improperly could cause data loss.

Summary: This article will discuss how to remote power up a disk.


Issue: This article will discuss how to remotely power cycle a disk remotely via navicli.

When reviewing collects it is possible that a disk can be faulted on one SP but not the other. Looking at the logs you
would see something like this:

SPA View:
80 - 6062 82 30 ST4 RAID-5 Y AG 133.9 GB RW- SP-A ENA 0.5.10 0.4.11 1.4.7 1.5.7 2.4.7 2.5.7 3.4.8 3.5.8

SPB View:
80 - 6062 82 30 ST4 RAID-5 Y AG 133.9 GB RW- SP-A ENA:PEER 0.5.10 0.4.11 1.4.7 1.5.7 2.4.7 2.5.7 3.4.8 3.5.8
(DEAD)

Note: There are other situations such as PUP (Power Up) that can be seen besides DEAD in the collects.

Resolution: You can remotely power off/on a disk using a navicli/naviseccli command. You would need to do the following:
1. Connect to the array that you need to run the command on via ESRS or direct connection. (RemotelyAnywhere or SSH
via CLI are the most common but can also be run when selecting NaviMgr/NaviSecureCLI or
UnisphereUSMNaviSecureCLI if you have a username and password that allows access to Unisphere.)
2. Open a command prompt
3. Run command naviseccli cru_on_off -messner X_X_X N where N is either 0 for off or 1 for on
1. If connected to Control Station: /nas/sbin/navicli -h (ip of SP) cru_on_off -messner x_x_x 0
2. If connected to RemotelyAnywere naviseccli cru_on_off -messner x_x_x 0
3. If using local command prompt window while connected to ESRS via NaviMgr/NaviSecureCLI or
UnisphereUSMNaviSecureCLI : naviseccli -h (IP of SP) -user (username) -password (password) -scope 0 cru_on_off
-messner x_x_x 0

Note: You need to run this from both SPs to effectivly power cycle the disk.

Notes (Employees and Partners):


Please confirm with an L2 resource before using this
command if it is the proper fix for the issue as you can
cause DU if not run properly.
