Set Expander-Fault-Isolation - HP P2000 Reference Manual

set expander-fault-isolation

Description For use by or with direction from a service technician.
By default, the Expander Controller in each I/O module performs fault-isolation analysis of SAS
expander PHY statistics. When one or more error counters for a specific PHY exceed the built-in
thresholds, the PHY is disabled to maintain storage system operation.
While troubleshooting a storage system problem, a service technician can use this command to
temporarily disable fault isolation for a specific Expander Controller in a specific enclosure.
NOTE: If fault isolation is disabled, be sure to re-enable it before placing the system back into
service. Serious problems can result if fault isolation is disabled and a PHY failure occurs.
