Monitor REC_DRIVE_INCOMPATIBLE_DOWNREV_DACSTORE (205)

IBMStorageSubsystem.FailureID_0205_Monitor (UnitMonitor)

A drive has a
DACStore that is unrecognizable because it was written by an earlier
version of the firmware.

Knowledge Base article:

Incompatible Drive Due to Older Configuration Database

What Caused the Problem?

A drive is incompatible for use in this storage subsystem because it contains an older configuration database than what is supported by the storage subsystem. The Recovery Guru Details area provides specific information you will need as you follow the recovery steps.

Caution: Electronic discharge can damage sensitive components. Always use proper antistatic protection when handling components. Touching components without using a proper ground may damage the equipment.

Important Notes

Recovery Steps

1

If...

Then...

You want to use this drive in this storage subsystem

AND

you want to import the array data as well

Note

: You will need the ability to upgrade the firmware on the original storage subsystem.

If you want to proceed, go to step 2.

You want to use this drive in this storage subsystem

AND

You want to erase all array data that is on the drive

Note

: This option will erase all the array configuration data on the drive.

a

Highlight the drive in the physical view of the Subsystem Management Window (AMW), and then select the

Advanced >> Recovery >> Initialize >> Drive

menu option.

b

Carefully read and follow all instructions in the Confirm Initialization dialog.

c

When the initialization operation completes, go to step 3.

You do NOT want to use this drive in this storage subsystem

a

Remove the drive.

If you need to keep or backup the data from the drive, you must reinsert the drive into the original storage subsystem.

b

If you are replacing the drive with a new drive, wait 30 seconds, then insert a new drive.

Its fault indicator light may be lit for a short time (one minute or less).

c

Go to step 3.

2

Upgrade the configuration database on the drives by completing the following steps:

a

Remove every drive that is reporting this problem.

b

Reinsert the drive(s) back into the original storage subsystem.

c

When the drives are ready, upgrade the firmware on the entire storage subsystem to a minimum of 05.30.xx.xx. 

Notes:

  • Upgrading the firmware on the controllers will upgrade the configuration database on the drives.

  • Refer to your user documentation to assist you with the firmware upgrade procedure.

  • You may need to contact your sales representative to obtain the appropriate release of firmware.

  • Depending on the version of the firmware on the original storage subsystem, it may be too old enough to complete a direct upgrade to 05.30.xx.xx.

d

Once the firmware upgrade completes, make sure that all arrays contained on the drives are optimal (there are no failed drives).

e

Remove the drives from the source (original) storage subsystem and connect them to this (the destination) storage subsystem.

f

Once this storage subsystem recognizes the new drive(s), you will need to import the arrays that reside on the drives.  Refer to the online help to assist you with completing an Array Import operation on each one of the arrays residing on the drive(s).

g

Go to step 3.

Recheck

to rerun the Recovery Guru. The failure should no longer appear in the Summary area. If the failure appears again, contact your technical support representative.
