CIMC complaining of removed disks

[jonansoz]

Hey all,

I feel that I've missed something here....

So I removed 4 disks from my C220-m4 by going into CIMC, selecting those disks for removal, and then removing them.

No alarms, no complaining all was looking good.

I saw an alert this morning however which shows:

Overall Server Status: Moderate Fault.

When I look further into this it's a "Warning" severity fault for all 4 HDDs that I removed yesterday. 

"Equipment - missing"

"Storage Local disk 7 mission: Reseat or replace the storage drive 7".

Question:

How can I get rid of these messages?

Nothing obvious is showing up as "clear log" or "acknowledge alert". 

I removed them as I told CIMC I was going to...so I don't need a warning! :)

Greetings.

Were these drives part of a an existing virtual drive/VD?

If so, you'll want to delete the virtual drive before marking the drives for removal.

Do you have any current messages about a degraded VD?

Assuming you intended to remove all drives/data, then you can delete the VD that is in an error state now.

If you didn't have a VD previously defined, try rebooting the CIMC (admin tab, utilities, reset/reboot CIMC)

Thanks,

Kirk...

Hey Kirk,

Thanks for the reply.

I had no Virtual Drives when I removed it.

The restart of CIMC seems to have worked - thanks! :)
