Troubleshooting Tools

The MD Storage Manager establishes communication with each managed
array and determines the current array status. When a problem occurs on a
storage array, MD Storage Manager provides several ways to troubleshoot the
problem:

Recovery Guru — The Recovery Guru diagnoses critical events on the
storage array and recommends step-by-step recovery procedures for
problem resolution. To access the Recovery Guru using MD Storage
Manager, click Support

→ Recover from Failure. The Recovery Guru can

also be accessed from the Status area of the Summary page.

NOTE:

A SAS Device Miswire Recovery Guru condition can be generated by

connecting the host port of one controller to the unused expansion port on the
other controller in a MD3000 enclosure. After fixing the miswire condition,
power cycle the MD3000 to clear the Recovery Guru condition.
