Hallo!

As some of you might already now I have to set up a (for us) bigger SAN with Linux.
I'm simulating disc failure right now. To find a defective disc in the enclosure is unresolved yet.
I already had a look at several web pages and searched for it but without luck.

The manual of the enclosure says (PROMISE VTRAK J610S):
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
LEDs                                 State
                | Dark     | Steady Green  | Flashing Green
Power/Activity* | No Drive | Drive Present | Activity
Status**        | HBA/RAID controller determines the LED behavior
[...]
** Refer to the user documentation for your HBA or RAID controller for this
   information.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Is there a standard way to lit the led in the enclosure with linux means or anything alike?
The enclosure does not tell the serial numbers of the included disc.
The HBA is an LSI SAS 3801X.


Thanks
Lars

It depends on whether you have the HBA configured in RAID mode or not.
If you have, then it takes absolute control of the enclosure management
at the moment and I don't think you can get to it.

If you run the HBA as a pure SAS one, then the promise website says this
enclosure is ses2 compliant, so you should just be able to insert the
ses module and have enclosure management (2.6.24+ kernels).  This relies
on the HBA exposing the enclosure device, but I think mptsas only eats
it for RAID configurations.

to see what's in the enclosure, just do

ls /sys/class/enclosure/*/

each of the subdirectories has a slot label (name taken from SES) to
locate the enclosure, just echo 1 to the locate file and it will flash
the lights.  If it has a disk, there should be a device link in the slot
directory (might not be, this depends on ses working correctly and VPD
inquiries identifying the right disk).

our HBA has no RAID option.

I tried 2.6.24.5 but the ses seems to be introduced in 2.6.25.

This is two times the same enclosure.

There seems to be no device link if I understood you correctly.
Is the subdirctory numbering somehow in relation to the SCSI ID?

OK ... it's hard for me to keep track of what went when.  It must have
gone in after 2.6.24 in the merge window.

That's unusual .. to have two devices managing the same enclosure, but
if you only have 16 slots and not 32, I suppose it must be so.  I'd also
guess the enclosure information doesn't provide slot names, so ses
automatically provided the numbering.

I have a 12 slot vitesse enclosure with two enclosure devices but they
each manage half the slots:

/sys/class/enclosure/0:0:1:0/:
components  power/     SLOT 007/  SLOT 009/  SLOT 011/   uevent
device@     SLOT 006/  SLOT 008/  SLOT 010/  subsystem@

/sys/class/enclosure/0:0:3:0/:
components  power/     SLOT 001/  SLOT 003/  SLOT 005/   uevent
device@     SLOT 000/  SLOT 002/  SLOT 004/  subsystem@

No ... the subdirectory numbering is taken from the enclosure
information (if available)... it should be the slot numbers of the
enclosure.  If the slot is populated a device link should appear (this
is the tricky bit because the ses driver uses VPD inquiries to match up
the reported disk, assuming the enclosure reports it, to the actual one.
These work for SAS disks, but not for SATA ones).  Empty slots have no
device link (but you can still flash the lights using the files).

If you look at my enclosure, I only have two devices:

sparkweed:~# ls -l /sys/class/enclosure/*/*/device
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2008-04-21 10:16 /sys/class/enclosure/0:0:1:0/SLOT 006/device -> ../../../../../../../port-0:0:0/end_device-0:0:0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2008-04-21 10:16 /sys/class/enclosure/0:0:3:0/SLOT 001/device -> ../../../../../../../port-0:1:11/end_device-0:1:11/target0:0:2/0:0:2:0

I use both external connections to both expanderboards of the enclosure just for redundancy.

So this will never work for the SATA discs in our enclosure, right? Or is there a chance with asking LSI to do something in their firmware?

Seems I have no chance to get to know which slot contains the failed drive without a shutdown. Bad luck.

But thanks alot anyway.
Best regards
Lars

If you want to upgrade your controller fw, I need the contents of all the attributes in /sys/class/scsi_host/host#.  Just yesterday we got Warner Wakko upgraded, and I believe it might of solved his problems.   I'm not sure what problems your experiencing, as this thread has been hard to follow.

I would like to point out there is a firmware request for sending SEP request, for instance setting LEDS.   Here is a copy of the structure.  We call this function to set LED when there is SMART errors (for non-raid devices).  For RAID, the firmware handles it.   Is this what your looking for?

Function = MPI_FUNCTION_SCSI_ENCLOSURE_PROCESSOR:

typedef struct _MSG_SEP_REQUEST
{
    U8                      TargetID;           /* 00h */

    U8                      Action;             /* 04h */

I hoped I had the newet version of the firmware on the HBA.

I'm not firm enough with scsi to understand all your words. But the problem I have is not that something doesn't work. It works with 2.6.25.
I can get the LEDs to blink. I can choose which one should do. I simply don't know which one it should be.

The problem is, I wanted to simultate a faulty drive without being one faulty.
Therefore I choosed a (working) disk to be faulty by its mutlipath-name: dm-9
Then I found out which disk it is in sd? notation. Then I read the serial number of this disk with the smartmontools.
Now I want this LED of the bay containing the disk with this serial number to blink. But I can't find out which LED matches which serial number of the containing disk.

I know my english is not the best. Ask and I try to explain again.

Regards
Lars

This is code was release back in December, so its fairly new.

The current driver will set the faulty LED when there is sense ASC = 0x5D, meaning smart error.   This will occurr from the device driver for devices not belonging to a RAID volume.  If its in a RAID volume, the firmware will handle setting the LED.    You can verify this by adding a printk inside the source code:  From function mptscsih_copy_sense_data(), scroll down to "Log Smart Data", add it here after the check on 0x5D.   Also mptscish_issue_sep_command() is called to send the SEP command to set the LED.   This is found in /usr/src/linux/drivers/message/fusion/mptscsih.c.

Also, you should be able to figure out which slot your device inside your enclosure.   Each enclousre will have a unique enclosoure logical id, which is simailar to a sas address.  Each device that is in inside the enclosure is assigned a slot id, which is the same as a bay indentifier.   If you have a SAS device, it will have the sas_address on the sticker.  Then with that sas_address, you can search inside /sys/class/sas_device, that will tell you which end device it is.  Within that, you will see the bay identifier, which is the slot id.  The slot id I guess is assigned from 0 to the largest number you have of slots in your enclosure, probally from left to right.  If you look inside the expanders, you will see the enslosure logical id.   If you have more than one expander in the enclosure, they all have the same enclosure logical id.

I don't think its an LSI issue.  The enclosure itself collects WWNs from
the inserted drives.  SAS drives have an agreed format which they
present in a VPD INQUIRY, so they're easy to match up.  SATA drives have
a defined way of manufacturing this information (defined in the SAT
standard).  I just need to plug one of these in and make sure my
enclosure does this correctly.  Once that's done, I have to persuade the
ATA people to add the correct form of translation for the VPD inquiry to
libata's SAT layer ... then it should all "just work".  So it's
basically just some development work.

> Seems I have no chance to get to know which slot contains the failed drive without a shutdown. Bad luck.

You could start by asking the sg_ses tools what you have.  You need to
find the sg device for your enclosure and then do

sg_ses --page=10 /dev/sg<n>

It will print out a list of what the enclosure thinks the addresses for
the devices are.  Then I just need to verify they're SAT format and away
we can go.

I just did it and attached the output
monosan:~ # sg_ses --page=10 /dev/sg19 > sg19.ses
    <<<additional: response too short>>>
