Document Version Release Date Details 2 05/04/2018 Resolution updated. Fix available through firmware HPDA. 1 01/18/2018 Original Document Release. IMPORTANT: HPE strongly recommends immediate application of the resolution provided on this document. Neglecting to perform the required action could potentially result in data corruption or loss. By disregarding this notification and not performing the recommended resolution, the customer accepts the risk of incurring future related errors. If a motor-related failure occurs on HPE SAS drive models EH0300FCBVC or EH0146FCBVB with Firmware Version HPD9 installed, the drives may incorrectly report a recovered completion to host commands after the failure. The recovered response signifies to the host that the commands were completed by the device. This wrong device response may result in data loss. Signature of the motor failure is a KCQ=1:5D:50 response by the drive to host commands. Example of HPE Smart Array log signature: Recovered PR=0x80c3bbc0 D002 Op=2a PLErr=02 IopErr=04 S=02 KCQ=1:5D:50
Any HPE ProLiant server with a EH0300FCBVC or EH0146FCBVB drive installed running with HPD9 firmware.
To resolve this issue, upgrade the firmware on EH0300FCBVC and EH0146FCBVB drives to firmware version HPDA as soon as possible to prevent potential data loss. The new firmware release modifies the sense key from "recovered" (sense key 1) to "hardware failure" (sense key 4) for the associated fault condition. This will prevent the array controller from continuing to try to access the affected drive and thus prevent the logical drive from becoming inaccessible.
