Hey guys,

This sounds kind of dumb, but....

On the 7200, there is a button on the top left corner of the front of the controller enclosure. It has an icon featuring a speaker with a cross through it. It's the same icon you see associated with "turn off alarm" buttons on UPSs and similar.
We had a hardware failure and naturally I started to hear the alarm. While waiting for replacement parts, I pressed the button to silence it. Nope.

I ended up logging an HP support case, and after an escalation, Tier 2 support confirmed the button is not intended to silence alarms. They could not advise what it was for however.

Has anyone else got experience with this?

The 3Par enclosures are industry standard kit so it would seem that HP forgot/chose not to implement that feature in firmware.
