I have HDS 9990, which is end of life and i am trying to prepare it to decom, i would like to shreed the LDEV & in order to do that i need to block , format and release lu.
However, i cannot do this now as the storage navigator appears to not fully refreshed ( Full refresh button in edit mode in configuration tab) has ! on it and i have tried to fully refresh it several time , however i am unable to do any of the above funtion, i was able to delete the host group.
Has any one seen this, i can try and access the navigator from different maching and see if it fully refreshes, in the past when i had to fully refresh the navigator it has worked.
I was logged in as root when i refreshed it.
Thanks
HDS 9990= USP (not USP-V).
A program product called "Volume Shredder" exists for that platform, and can overwrite data to various levels of specification.
As to why it does not refresh there are many possibilities. There could be SVP communication errors, SVP issues, etc..
I would try re-booting the SVP to see if that resolves the issue. I would check the status of the components for any red lights as well..
If rebooting the SVP doesnt fix it, the best choice would be to get an HDS CE out to resolve the issue (open a case, since it may no longer be on maintenance, it would be T&M).
Solutions to the problem would depend on the cause...
