MSA 60 model 'Modular Storage Array' troubleshooting steps

By WireINPUT -

The HP MSA60 storage system connected to Port 1E Box 1 of the controller in Slot 5


Today I've got one alert that 'MSA 60 model array controller' drives not visible on the server. I've started checking the event viewer what could be the reason. There I found some related to the high temperature etc and also there could be some what power shutdown happened at the server site location.

Finally we got to know that, there is some power outage window happening at the server location, since then this MSA model array controller is down. I believe since last 10 hrs.

At last power came, we power on the server and storage box as well. However we couldn't see the drives in my computer or disk management. Again we have rebooted the machine from iLO remote control, could see 'it is showing 2 options, 1.Press F1 to loose the date and re-enable 2. F2 to re-enable and later restore the data.

We selected option 2, (pressed F2) and then server came up and checked in the disk management. Finally we got the drives back without data loss.
