  • 1.  PowerVC 2.0.2 and DS8000 storage

    Posted Fri November 19, 2021 11:45 AM

    I'm in the process of configuring PVC 2.0.2 to replace my current PVC 2.0 instance.  I can't do a config restore due to an error somewhere so to clean up everything I'm starting from scratch on the 2.0.2 instance. 

    Got most of it done but having issues with the DS8000's.  When I try adding them (I have 3 of the beasts) they all error out with "Unable to add storage system DS80003. Explanation: The server has either erred or is incapable of performing the requested operation."

    For my life I can't find any logs that would indicate where the problem is.  I have 2 of them set up in the 2.0 server and I am able to add the third one there as well without any issues.

    What am I missing?  How do I find out what is failing?

    Hi Tom

    Have you performed backup restore operation from 2.0 to 2.0.2 ?
    If yes, was the restore successful ?

    Regards

    Aman

    I tried to do the backup/restore option but it failed for me on the restore.  There is some data corruption in my PVC 2.0.1 system that crashes the restore on PVC 2.0.2.  That's why I'm starting from scratch on the 2.0.2 version.

    I have a support ticket open on this now and it has been elevated to the Dev3 team.  

    There is something going on with SSH and the Known_Hosts file.
