The Solid State Disks feature is out of compliance.
What Caused the Problem?
The Solid State Drive (SSD) premium feature is Out of Compliance. This problem can occur in the following scenarios:
Scenario 1
- You inserted one or more SSD drives into the storage array where the SSD support feature is not enabled.
Scenario 2
- You disabled the SSD support feature.
Scenario 3
(Least common scenario)
- You connected SSD drives (drives that belong to a SSD volume group) to one or more controllers where 1) the controllers were NOT previously attached to any drives and 2) the drives were already previously configured while attached to other controllers where the SSD support feature was supported and enabled.
The Recovery Guru Details area provides specific information you will need as you follow the recovery steps.
Important Notes
Scenario 2 will likely happen because the SSD support feature was disabled while volume groups using SSD drives are still present. In other words, the storage array no longer has the SSD feature enabled, and yet there are still SSD volume groups with SSD drives on the storage array.
This problem can occur if you disable a feature pack key. Disabling a feature pack key can result in multiple individual features transitioning to an Out of Compliance state since you may have globally lowered the limits supported by the storage array. If there is a "Feature Pack - Out of Compliance" problem in the Summary Area, complete those recovery steps first. If this problem still appears after you complete the recovery steps for the "Feature Pack - Out of Compliance" problem, then proceed with the recovery steps below.
For Scenarios 1 and 2, you can fix this problem in one of two ways: 1) you can enable the SSD support feature key (if it is supported by this storage array in scenario 1), or 2) you can delete all of the SSD volume groups.
For Scenario 3, you can get this problem even if there are no SSD volume groups with SSD drives on the storage array.
While this feature is in an Out of Compliance state, you will NOT be able to:
Create standard RAID volumes
Automatically configure the storage array
Create storage mapping partitions
Assign global hot spares
Use DSS and DRM
Create snapshot volumes
Activate mirroring and establish mirrored pairs
Establish volume copy and "Start Copy" operations
