[OmniOS-discuss] ZeusRAM - predictive failure

[Machine Man]

Today I received one of the ZeusRAM that I ordered, both brand new. I was struggling to find SAS SSD drives that were available in my price range as I desperately need to add a ZIL.

I decided to order ZeusRAM since they had one in stock and figured I'll add it while waiting for the other one as they are really should not be prone to failure based on design. I have not used them and would normally just prefer to use regular SSD drives.


Slotted ZeusRAM in and it began to rapidly blink the same as the disks that are currently in the pool on that backplain. Running the command format would never return with a list of disks. I left it for about 15 min and pulled it since it says on the disk that it can take up to 10 min for the caps. I could see there is an amber and green LED on the drive itself blinking, even when removed.

I slotted it back in and the disk was then available. After a few min the fault light cam on and the disk was unavailable due to the following:


Fault class : fault.io.disk.predictive-failure
Affects     : dev:///:devid=id1,sd@n5000a720300b3d57//pci@0,0/pci8086,340e@7/pci1000,3040@0/iport@f0/disk@w5000a72a300b3d57,0
                  faulted and taken out of service
FRU         : "Slot 09" (hc://:product-id=LSI-SAS2X36:server-id=:chassis-id=50030480178cf57f:serial=STM000****:part=STEC-ZeusRAM:revision=C025/ses-enclosure=1/bay=8/disk=0)
                  faulty

Description : SMART health-monitoring firmware reported that a disk
              failure is imminent.



I cleared the fault and the drive was then usable again for a few min same thing happened. Eventually the amber light on the disk itself (not the enclosure disk light) no longer blinked and the disks was online for quite some time before the alert above reappeared.

Is there anything special that should be done for ZeusRAM in sd.conf? Its a node install and both nodes can see all the drives. I don't see any smart errors listed, but running fmadm it will show the disk as faulty due to predictive failure.

OmniOS r20 all patches applied.
