Hi,
Machine has two physical drives and each is configured as RAID0, so we
have two logical drives.
One drive died, and I've replaced it with new one. Below are the
commands which I ran, but I'm unable to re-create logical drive. I don't
understand what it means "Refuse cfg add due to pinned cache" in the
firmware log. I've tried various parameters to -CfgLdAdd but no luck so
far.
# megacli -? -nolog | grep -A2 -i cfgldadd
MegaCli -CfgLdAdd -rX[E0:S0,E1:S1,...] [WT|WB] [NORA|RA|ADRA] [Direct|Cached]
[CachedBadBBU|NoCachedBadBBU] [-szXXX [-szYYY ...]]
[-strpszM] [-Hsp[E0:S0,...]] [-AfterLdX] [-Force] -aN
Do you guys know by any chance why firmware doesn't want to accept my
request to create new logical drive? If you know any better place to
ask, please let me know. Thanks.
BTW: I know I can reboot the server and try via PERC's BIOS, but wanted
to understand why megacli is denying me creation of logical drive, as I
did that in the past many times and megacli worked fine.
