783.0. "lose RAID-1 on OpenVMS and notification" by BEET::EAGAN (Among the fashion impaired...) Thu Feb 27 1997 06:20

    My customer has an Alpha OpenVMS Cluster with HSZ40s.  I don't
    have the specifics of versions, but I believe it's 6.2-1H(mumble).
    
    They are using HSZ RAID-1 with 2 disks.  They want to know when/if
    one of the disks drops out of the RAID-1 set.
    
    How/where is this reported?
    
    Maybe the answer is in this notesfile.  I did scan the titles and
    read the notes for "vms, raid-1, raid1, raid 1, errlog, notify"
    etc.  And, I couldn't quite find the answer I'm looking for.
    
    I did see that PolyCenter Console Manager direct monitoring of the
    HSZs via serial line was an option, but that's extra hardware and
    software they don't have.
    
    I also *think* (not 100% sure) that SWCC might do it.  Again, that's
    introducing another haredware box and OS (Alpha with NT) that's not
    really wanted.
    
    Is a RAID-1 disk dropping out reported through to OpenVMS?

    When this condition occurs, the console will report an error event
    that a device has been remove from the mirrorset (instance 2290064) 
    and VMS will report a Raid membership event report in the error log
    (extended sense 07a0). If you run the error log through DEC Event, you
    will get more info.
    
    hope this helps, Larry
