I have two identical HP servers with hardware RAID controller.

On the RAID I have 2 SSD's as RAID1 and 3 x 1 TB SATA disks as RAID5.

On both servers I get messages like this about RAID5.

Jun 23 14:58:35 ve18 kernel: hpsa 0000:02:00.0: scsi 0:1:0:1: resetting logical  Direct-Access     HP       LOGICAL VOLUME   RAID-5 SSDSmartPathCap- En- Exp=1

What does this message mean and should I worry?

RAID is reported as "OK":

1 Answer 1

-1

This indicates a waiting to fail drive (or more).

The problem is there is no up-front information in the "logical reset" that would permit pinpointing the exact drive.

You should make an thorough integrity check of all drives and some tests to find which one could cause the problems.

Replace the faulty drive, rebuild your RAID and everything should be fine. Make sure to make a backup before any replace/rebuild operations.
