Hi all... I have this problem. Have any idea?
I had a SE3510 FC with dual controllers configured active-active with
4.15 FW:
sccli> show redundancy
Primary controller serial number: 8101936
Primary controller location: Lower
Redundancy mode: Active-Active
Redundancy status: Enabled
Secondary controller serial number: 8101885
I issued a "fail" command to verify failover and transparent access to
LUNs from hosts:
sccli> fail primary
Are you sure? y
After that, I have this:
sccli> show redundancy
Primary controller serial number: 8101885
Primary controller location: Upper
Redundancy mode: Active-Active
Redundancy status: Scanning
Secondary controller serial number: 0
Everything worked just fine an the LUNs failed-over correctly. The
problem is that I can't make the failed controller go back online. I
tried:
1st option.-
sccli> unfail
Are you sure? y
sccli> show redundancy
Primary controller serial number: 8101885
Primary controller location: Upper
Redundancy mode: Active-Active
Redundancy status: Scanning
Secondary controller serial number: 0
2nd option.-
sccli> reset controller
WARNING: This is a potentially dangerous operation.
The controller will go offline for several minutes.
Data loss may occur if the controller is currently in use.
Are you sure? y
sccli: shutting down controller...
sccli: controller is shut down
sccli: resetting controller...
sccli: controller has been reset
sccli> show redundancy
Primary controller serial number: 8101885
Primary controller location: Upper
Redundancy mode: Active-Active
Redundancy status: Scanning
Secondary controller serial number: 0
What I have not tried is powering off the full array. This is my last
resort, but I want to see if there is any other option before I do
this...
Thanks and regards,
Alex
