Yes and I would suggest to try that. If it doesn't fix any spare chunklets, I would do: Quote: removespare a:a admithw to simply remove everything and try to recreate. You should probably wait a minute between the two commands to ensure you've got free chunklets on SSD. When I look at your number I don't understand anything.... 3-par-2 looks correct.... 446 chunklets per 480GB SSD, so spare equal 1 drive per 24 drives, minimum 2 drives = 892 chunklets. 1116 chunklets per 1.2TB FC drive, so spare equal 1 drive per 24 drives, minimum 2 drives = 2232 3611 chunklets per 4TB NL drive, so spare equal 1 drive per 24 drives, minimum 2 drives - FC spare chunklets = 7222 - 2232 = 4990. For 3-par-1 SSD doesn't make any sense no matter how one do the numbers. |

Nothing is helping : ( Nor seting sparealgorithm to minimal and admithw nor tunesys is it safe to run removespare command? If I create a map of spare chunks using showspare and manually remove half of these running a lot of commads like this: removespare 55:193 removespare 55:194 removespare 55:195 .... will it be safe? |

Everything will be safe, but it will take forever ..... What does admithw say when it passes thru the spare chunklet part of the process? Is it ignoring everything because it has too many, is it failing and throwing an error message? |

Hmm, i didt notice on first time but seems admithw ends with error Code: admithw

Yep, we try to fix it, but more important issue is at bottom Code: Checking if the rights assigned to extended roles need to be updated... Permission denied i`ve run admithw on second 3par and it went trough without errors and did a lot of work : ) But on this it stops after this permission error. |

It could be related to cabling... but what user are you using and how are you logging on? |

I`ve manually remove space chunklest from all SSD`s on 3par-1 system to match counts to 3par-2. It freed up space to enable AFC. admithw still not working properly. Next thing - we schedule recabling and try again. Thank you for your support, i`ll back after recabling. |
