I need a SSD report HP. Could you please install hpssaducli and run the report and email me the zip file.

Kindly provide us the Smart Wear Gauge report so that we can check if the drive has been fully consumed or not and qualifies for the replacement or not.

Kindly install the SSADU CLI utility for generating the Smart Wear Gauge report, in case if the utility is not installed then you get the utility at

Once the utility is installed then go to the directory /opt/hp/hpssaducli/bin or /opt/hpe/hpessaducli/bin or /opt/hpe/ssaducli/bin(whichever is applicable) and run the below command:

hpssaducli -ssdrpt -f ssd-report.zip or ssaducli -ssdrpt -f ssd-report.zip or hpessaducli -ssdrpt -f ssd-report.zip (whichever is applicable)

This is the same alert as on T196507 and seems about the same issue (no battery reported and one controller reports no drives). I'd ask why SSD wear would matter, but I know the ways of vendors can be strange. I don't think we have any drive failures reported on this, do we?

@Bstorm after reinstall please let me know if this is still an issue.

This is currently still some kind of an issue on both servers. The thing is that I'm not sure if it is a problem or just describing reality (embedded controller has no disk and installed controller doesn't report a battery).

Disabled unused raid controller in the BIOS, which is at least half of this alert. However, this also is missing a battery, which HP considers an optional purchase that we should have.

@Cmjohnson cloudvirt1020 is reporting a disk missing:

Could you request a replace (in case it has not been requested yet)?

It seems disk on "bay 5" might be faulty or something.

I've deleted the RAID configuration on this server before I realized the disk was missing (so I can't run Linux commands easily now). Please let me know if you need any other information.

cloudvirt1020 is also 5x slower to enter the BIOS menu (ESC+9) than cloudvirt1019. Not sure what that means.

The server is not doing anything right now, so feel free to play with it if you wish.

note that I just now had to enable virtualization and associated settings on cloudvirt1019. so 1020 might need this as well -- probably best to double-check hyperthreading too

Checking cloudvirt1020:

So this should be ready to go from this point of view.

Mentioned in SAL (#wikimedia-operations) [2019-02-16T14:21:57Z] <arturo> T194855 cloudvirt1020 is poweroff, waiting for disk setup before installing

I believe the supposed failed disk was a result of me working inside the server last week and I put it back together quickly. The cables that attach the raid card to the backplane for the ssds is very touchy and if it's slightly off it could show a disk offline. I confirmed this thought after I checked the raid bios and noticed the card was only seeing 9 of the 10 disks. I then swapped a disk from a different slot and the orange indicator light stayed with the slot. I opened the server up, reseated the cables and all 10 disks show but the raid had to be rebuilt. The server will need a full re-install.

Action taken
Connected the raid battery cable received from HPE to clear the raid battery status issue we've been having
Disabled the p480 onboard raid card to match cloudvirt1019
Ensured the virtualization settings were enabled
Updated the firmware with the Service Pack I have from HPE
Rebuilt the raid to Raid 10 256k stripe

@Cmjohnson thank you!

RAID reconfigured with spares.
