Product description: HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 12LFF Configure-to-order Server
Product number: 719061-B21
Serial number: MXQ62108H3
Subject: SCM_HW:2 Failed SSD's

I requested 2 SSD"s to be sent and the confirmation email states 2 SSD's but they actually sent me 2 4TB HDD's instead. A call to them has to take place.

Return tracking info for wrong disks tracking info.

Received the 2 ssds and added them to ms-be1027

Mentioned in SAL [2016-08-18T17:15:23Z] <godog> reinstall ms-be1027 after ssd replaced T140374

I've reenabled the two ssd and reinstalled ms-be1027, afaict no errors reported now, @Cmjohnson no disks blinking either now?

if so we can call this done!

or maybe not! just today there are four (!) faults reported

=> ld all show

Smart Array P840 in Slot 3

   array N

I have troubles believing those to be real faults at this point, we should involve hp @Cmjohnson what do you think?

I see the 4 failed disks (amber lights) on the sever....I am finding it
hard to believe that this server was shipped w/ so many bad disks. Has to
be something else.

HP Support Case ID: 5314079417

uploaded reports to the HP online portal

Quick update, I created a ticket with HP, supplied with logs, I was contacted once for more information and provided but did not hear back in a few days. A phone call to HP is necessary.

Tried a reinstall, though only some spinning disks are seen and no SSDs (all 3TB sizes reported)

@fgiunchedi spent the morning on the phone with HP....good news bad news. they're sending me a new system board, backplane and 2 new ssds...bad news, system board is on backorder. I will update once I get the call from HP Field Services.

We can escalate this issue to Dasher, they may be able to expedite the system board replacement.

Do you have a case # I can pass along to Dasher?

Yes,

Support Case Number: 5314079417-531

@fgiunchedi replaced, both backplanes, system board and rear ssds. I am able to pxe boot now. I will leave this open. If all goes well please resolve this task...if not please update. Thanks

@RobH is there anything you can do with the vendor? We replaced, the system board, both disk back planes, ssds (several times). The only thing left is the raid controller

A new case was opened with HP to replace the raid card
