On a Thumper under S10U5 we recently had a hardware failure of one disk. This caused all I/O to the entire 46 disk pool to hang. zpool status commands also were hanging. Reset commands from the service processor timed out unsuccessfully. The system had to be power cycled manually. After that booting took about 30 minutes. At this point the bad disk could be unconfigured with cfgadm and then hot swapped with a warranty replacement. So it appears that bug 6735931 is also affecting the X4500 upon disk hardware failure; in a way that seriously impairs the entire system's fault tolerance. I would be willing to test any T-patch coming out soon.... I found this thread after seeing a total failure of a hot unplug of a 1.5TB disk from a (different) newly assembled system with 3 AOC-SAT2-MV8 cards and 24 disks + one host spare. After removing one disk the entire system also froze; instead of initiating a resilver process with the hot spare. Clearly the marvell88sx driver cannot handle disk outages in any environment. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
