I have a storage profile policy pushing down from UCS Cental to a C240 M4. The storage policy dictates each of the 12 SAS disks controlled by the LSI MegaRAID SAS 3108 is a virtual RAID0 for a highly available application that just needs striping.
Recently, a disk went bad, i opened a TAC case, sent them a support bundle on server where the disk was showing inoperable, they sent out a replacement disk and we installed it. Now once installed, it defaulted to JBOD mode, which i thought was weird since the storage profile policy explicitly states a disk of its type should be a RAID0. I thought that maybe the policy just won't push down to a JBOD disk. I went ahead and marked it as an unconfigured good (it seems this is the only state the RAID controller will actually push the policy down to) but nothing happened, the disk just stays in the unconfigured good status, and never changes. Looking through Central and Manager, I don't see any options to "re-apply" the policy to the disk, or force it to RAID.
This is a bit worrisome, as over the next few years I'm sure we are to lose some disks, and I'm not exactly sure how to make sure this policy apply automatically, or right even apply at all.
The storage profile is protection enabled, so I'd guess I could remove the policy, and then reapply and hopefully it would pick up the unconfigured good disk, but this seems like a bad option, as at our company, even doing that would require an approved change, and would really elongate a simple task of just bringing a disk back online.
To note, the disk that went bad, was RAID'd correctly.
Does anyone see anything I'm missing, or have any advice on how to get this policy pushed down? I would have thought this would have been automatic.
Thanks in advance!!!
