The box is running fine, there are no alarm events showing on either MSA controller, and all other indicators on the controllers, blowers, SAN switches, and interface/enviro boards are greeen/ok/normal, but the little triangle fault light above the power switch is lit. I've run through the CLI checking temperatures, status of all the configs, etc looking for any errors and cannot find one.
We swapped several disks in and out of a spare slot (as a single drive unit) last week to test them and warnings were logged by the unit for each removal and fatal drive errors for one problem disk. We also swapped a spare SAN Switch 2/8 in to confirm it was working (now a spare), but that caused no events at all to be logged, and the failover was perfect. We are not sure if that fault light was on before these swaps, so it might be because of them, possibly the
The docs only say the chassis fault light comes on when a fault occurs but I haven't found a way to determine what that fault is or clear it, or if it clears some time after the fault condition is corrected. Short of possibly a full restart of the SAN, is there a way to determine the nature of the cabinet fault when all the components are green, or clear it short of a power cycle restart?
Thanks
