Cisco MSP 2RU Beeping

[haris_qazi]

Good Day to all,

I have a Cisco MSP 2RU Server which i am trying to configure. The problem with the server is that once I power it on it is continuously beeping.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you.

From my experience it could be one of the hard drives is bad or one of the two power cords is not connected and getting power.

Thanks. You were correct.

Any way to silence the beeping until the new drive arrives?

For those on newer v6 (and v7) Cisco has integrated the RAID Status into the  Management Console, there you can check the status and Silence the Alarm.  You can add RAID Status for older v6 systems, see the great  script to add in on this forum's documentation.  Please be advised that  RAID disks running like these generally last between 3 to maybe 5 years  imo, if one has gone bad replace it very quickly!  (And get ready for  more).

Cory, I have v6 but couldn't find RAID status anywhere in the console. Probably not looking in the right place. So, i then tried the command from Bhadri and it worked. Thank you both for your replies! (And the folks next to the server room thank you, too)

Hi Linda, it is beeping for a good reason, maybe since you know Unix this can't hurt to install, it'll help:

What version of VSM are you running on?
