Determining which spindle is out of order

Hi,

After a spindle (physical hard disk, a "drive") failure in a "md" RAID array,
how can we know which spindle must be replaced?

We want to avoid extracting a working spindle by mistakenly thinking it is the
faulty one...

To solve this problem we put on each spindle a physical label (a tag, not a
partition/disk label) showing its device name (sda, sdb...).

To do so: on an otherwise unused system and sane RAID array we ran "dd" for each
each spindle (individual device) in order to read on it, lighting up its LED.

Then we simulated a crash by physically removing two spindles. Upon reboot the
devices names changed (?!) and our labels weren't right anymore albeit we are
pretty sure they were.

Context: raid10, 10 spindles (8 active + 2 spare), layout : near=1, offset=3. On
the integrated controller + a LSI MPT on-board controller.

That's totally stupid, use disk serial numbers for labels instead.

That's right, drive letters sda sdb etc are allocated in the order
they're discovered at boot time, so if you remove what used to be sdc
and reboot, sdc will now refer to what used to be sdd, sdd to the old
sde etc.

Have a look at /dev/disk/by-path, in there you'll find symlinks which
will always have the same names, or indeed be missing, which point to
sda, sdb etc. In my case I have SATA discs on an ICH10R controller, the
controller is pci-0000:00:1f.2, it appears as up to 6 SCSI controllers
numbered 0-5, and the discs appear as HBA 0, device 0, lun 0, along with
their partitions, as follows:

pci-0000:00:1f.2-scsi-0:0:0:0 -> ../../sda
pci-0000:00:1f.2-scsi-0:0:0:0-part1 -> ../../sda1
pci-0000:00:1f.2-scsi-0:0:0:0-part2 -> ../../sda2
pci-0000:00:1f.2-scsi-1:0:0:0 -> ../../sdb
pci-0000:00:1f.2-scsi-1:0:0:0-part1 -> ../../sdb1
pci-0000:00:1f.2-scsi-1:0:0:0-part2 -> ../../sdb2
pci-0000:00:1f.2-scsi-2:0:0:0 -> ../../sdc
pci-0000:00:1f.2-scsi-2:0:0:0-part1 -> ../../sdc1
pci-0000:00:1f.2-scsi-2:0:0:0-part2 -> ../../sdc2
pci-0000:03:00.0-scsi-0:0:0:0 -> ../../scd0

Oh and the last one is a CD ROM drive on a pata_marvell IDE controller.

You might want to relabel your drives according to what you find in
/dev/disk/by-path.

Cheers,

John.

As you discovered - that's not a good idea, the device names are
dynamically assigned.

Best to use the drive serial number maybe (hdparm -I or smartctl -a, or
the links under /dev/devices/by-id, and also printed on the top of the
drive etc.)?

You can also use the physical slot if that info is available and static
(this varies from controller to controller) and is available under
/dev/disk/by-path/

Cheers,

Tim.

I tend to look at the blinking lights, it's usually quite obvious which
drive isn't in the array anymore by the fact that the activity light is
not blinking. Apart from that, as someone else said, use serial numbers.

Re: Determining which spindle is out of order

I use something like this.. when i commission a drive I allocate it a
unique number like J70 and I then have a spreadsheet that marrys this
up with the serial number of the device.

hdparm etc gives me the serial number, and the lookup identifies the device.

Oh and i write the J70 on little green sticky labels that I then stick
on all 4 edges of the drive...

Yeah, sorry about that -- and to make my reply a bit less useless, I should
elaborate that my suggestion is to not base anything on the sdX or their or=
der
at all. For example even though I want to have a specific list of looked-at
devices in mdadm.conf, I point it directly to specific drives -- not
to /dev/sdX, but to udev symlinks in /dev/disk/by-id/ instead:

# 2TBs
DEVICE /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD20EADS-00S2B0_WD-xxxxxxxxxxxx-part *
DEVICE /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD20EADS-00S2B0_WD-xxxxxxxxxxxx-part *
DEVICE /dev/disk/by-id/ata-Hitachi_HDS722020ALA330_xxxxxxxxxxxxxx-p art*
# 1.5 TBs
DEVICE /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD15EADS-00S2B0_WD-xxxxxxxxxxxx-part *
# 1TBs
DEVICE /dev/disk/by-id/ata-Hitachi_HDT721010SLA360_xxxxxxxxxxxxxx-p art*
DEVICE /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST31000333AS_xxxxxxxx-part*

Listed like this it will also make mdadm not consider whole block devices f=
or
addition into RAIDs, only the partitions (which is exactly what I want).

When I ran servers for an ISP we had a utility which blinked the light
on the drive (assumes it hasn't gone utterly belly up, of course).

See occasionally little gems of information like that come up... and

I believe that this is part of the SCSI standard, certainly a brief look
around a few months ago didn't turn up a way of doing this for SATA
drives (i.e. nothing in the relevant standards, particular drive vendors
may have their own non-standard commands to do this, or enclosure
manufacturers may have out-of-band methods for this).

If anyone knows better, please let me know!


Cheers,

Tim.

I wrote a little script that would tell me device name and serial number for each host port on my motherboard, along with anything else that lists a scsi host in sysfs. Output like so:

Controller device @ pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.1/0000:06:00.0 [ahci]

Shows me my empty ports, too. As long as I keep my cables straight to my hot-swap bays, getting the right drive is a snap.

Thanks for the great script. However it was partially failing for me at fir=
st,
with error messages like "Corporation: command not found" or "Technology:
command not found", failing to get most of the data properly. Turns out my
"udevadm info" output for my controllers contains non-quoted values with
spaces, which do not "eval" correctly:

E: ID_VENDOR_FROM_DATABASE=3DnVidia Corporation
E: ID_VENDOR_FROM_DATABASE=3DJMicron Technology Corp.

As you do not use any of those further in the function anyway, I just added=
|
'grep -v " "' after "cut", and it worked fine afterwards.

I haven't had a chance to dig into the script, but it doesn't
produce any output when I run it on one of my servers, and on the other one
it produces errors on line 7, but otherwise seems to work.

Thanks for the feedback. The script only looks in sysfs for controllers
implementing the scsi_host interface. So it won't pick up anything using
the legacy IDE interface. If that's not the case on the first server, I'd
like to see lspci -vvv for the controller in question.

As for the errors on line #7, that's likely to be the whitespace problem that
Roman pointed out. Based on his comment, I've adjusted the script to be more
robust (a little faster, too). Please give it a try:

#! /bin/bash
#

#

echo "Controller device @ ${1##/sys/devices/} [$DRIVER]"
if [[ -n "$PCI_SLOT_NAME" ]] ; then
echo -e " `lspci -s $PCI_SLOT_NAME |cut -d\ -f2-`"
return

eval `lsusb -D ${DEVICE/proc/dev/} | \
sed -rn -e 's% *i(Manufacturer|Product|Serial) +[0-9]+ +(.+) *$%\1="\2"%;T;p'`
echo -e " [$Manufacturer] $Product {SN: $Serial}"
return

}

Indeed. The sysfs layout changed since kernel 2.6.18. I'm guessing the use of
CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED and/or CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 will interfere with my
script in current kernels.

I'll poke around in one of my VMs when I get a chance.

Heh. Anyone know the equivalent command in earlier versions of udev?

Nice.

Output on one of my machines is however not as expected:

Controller device @ pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.1/0000:02:00.0 [ahci]

This machine has seven SATA ports: one provided by the JMicron chip, the
other six by the Intel H55 south bridge. Only three ports are currently
used, but I had expected another [Empty] entry.

Here's what's in /sys/devices:

root@zotac:~# find /sys/devices/ -name scsi_host
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.1/0000:02:00.0/host4/scsi _host

/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.5/host3/scsi_host

Not sure what to make of that...

I'm guessing it's an artifact of IDE compatibility mode. You can see host1 reports two drives, and my script is only expecting one. Master vs. slave emulation, perhaps? Can you check your BIOS for legacy IDE vs. AHCI mode setting?

I suspect my script will have similar problems with port multipliers.

It's the same controller on both servers. The motherboards are
different, although both are Asus motherboards hosting AMD Athlon 64 x 2
CPUs. At the moment they are running different kernels. The one that is
working is running 2.6.32-3-amd64, and the one that is not is running
2.6.26-2-amd64. Below is the result from lspci on the failing system.

Both of my servers employ PMs, and it's working on one of them.
Actually, it's working on the PMs, but not the boot drives, which are hosted
off the motherboard. They are IDE, so that's not too surprising.

Can someone running near to Linux 2.6.30.6 or slightly less post
(privately) their .config file so I can see what option I am missing as I
definately have scsi devices & hosts , But there are no 'scsi_host' entries in
the /sys file system .

I get no output on my CentOS 5,

When I change the script to use my find command, I get:

Now I need to find udevadm I guess. It must have been introduced since
the udev version that comes with RHEL/CentOS 5, which is
udev-095-14.21.el5_5.1. rpmfind.net suggests it's only been in since
version 118 or so. Never mind :-)

Cheers,

John.

Spot on. After switching the BIOS to AHCI mode, output now looks like this:

Controller device @ pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.1/0000:02:00.0 [ahci]
SATA controller: JMicron Technology Corp. JMB360 AHCI Controller (rev 02)

host2: [Empty]
host3: /dev/sdc ATA ST3500418AS {SN: 9VMM6EY4}
host4: [Empty]
host5: [Empty]

So the south bridge is now seen as the single chip that it is, instead
of two emulated-ones. It is now also controlled by the ahci driver. And
all of the unused ports are there.

Great stuff, thanks.

I think it's `udevinfo` instead of `udevadm info` - the comment in the
ChangeLog for udev-117 is "udevadm: merge all udev tools into a single
binary". But it doesn't work terribly well:

[root@beast describe_scsi]# udevinfo -q all -p
/devices/pci0000\:00/0000\:00\:1f.2/
no record for '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/' in database

That's unfortunate. But it does know about that device if asked differently:

[root@beast describe_scsi]# udevinfo -a -p
/devices/pci0000\:00/0000\:00\:1f.2/

Udevinfo starts with the device specified by the devpath and then
walks up the chain of parent devices. It prints for every device
found, all possible attributes in the udev rules key format.
A rule to match, can be composed by the attributes of the device
and the attributes from one single parent device.

looking at device '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2':
KERNEL=="0000:00:1f.2"
SUBSYSTEM=="pci"
SYSFS{broken_parity_status}=="0"
SYSFS{enable}=="1"

SYSFS{modalias}=="pci:v00008086d00003A22sv00001043sd000082D4 bc01sc06i01"

SYSFS{local_cpus}=="7fffffff,ffffffff,ffffffff,ffffffff,ffff ffff,ffffffff,ffffffff,ffffffff"
SYSFS{irq}=="251"
SYSFS{class}=="0x010601"
SYSFS{subsystem_device}=="0x82d4"
SYSFS{subsystem_vendor}=="0x1043"
SYSFS{device}=="0x3a22"
SYSFS{vendor}=="0x8086"

looking at parent device '/devices/pci0000:00':
ID=="pci0000:00"
BUS==""
DRIVER==""

[root@beast describe_scsi]#

And that output is obviously not what the rest of your script wants. I
can ask about individual drives though:

[root@beast describe_scsi]# udevinfo -q all -p /block/sda
P: /block/sda
N: sda
S: disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_Hitachi_HDS7210_JP2921HQ0J0PZA
S: disk/by-path/pci-0000:00:1f.2-scsi-0:0:0:0

E: ID_TYPE=disk
E: ID_BUS=scsi
E: ID_PATH=pci-0000:00:1f.2-scsi-0:0:0:0
[root@beast describe_scsi]#

I suspect the udev version in EL5 just isn't going to give up the info
you need, even if you did rewrite for the different sysfs paths :-(

Thanks for your efforts though!

Cheers,

John.

Hmmm. Can you try both of the above without the trailing slash?

The information is there, though. I'll poke at it in the near future.

Just the same output, however I ask the question:

[root@beast ~]# udevinfo -q all -p /devices/pci0000\:00/0000\:00\:1f.2
no record for '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2' in database
[root@beast ~]# udevinfo -q all -p /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2
no record for '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2' in database
[root@beast ~]# udevinfo -q all -p /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2
no record for '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2' in database
[root@beast ~]#

And all with "-a" instead of "-q all" produce the output I posted before.

Please don't feel you have to turn this into a project, though.

The modern udevadm gives me that with --attribute-walk. It's purpose is to report
the conditions one might want to use in an udev rule. It doesn't provide the human
descriptions I'm looking for.

> Please don't feel you have to turn this into a project, though.

Too late. Here's a version that doesn't use udevadm at all...

#! /bin/bash
#

OK, it's an improvement because after I've changed the find command to
find '*scsi_host*', it lists my controllers, but finds them all empty. I
noted that the script was looking for subdirectories called block but
mine have names like block:sda so I changed the script again to refer to
'block*' both in the loop in check_host and in the substitution at the
top of describe_device. There's still something not quite right with
trying to read CentOS/RHEL 5 / kernel 2.6.18 sysfs, because this was the
output I got:

So it's finding my drives but also trying to describe_device lots of
wrong things - maybe need a different expansion for the loop in check_host?

Hopefully the below will give you a better idea of what the sysfs layout
is like on CentOS/RHEL 5:

I did another version, with regular expressions to accommodate the variations. Please give it a shot.

The regular expression doesn't work, here, but the rest of the
script now works on the older server. I replaced the find statement with

find /sys/devices/ -name "scsi_host*" |check_host

and it works.

Well, on the contrary, why not? There is clearly a lack of such a tool in
GNU/Linux, so having a designated name for the script, and a small website
with version history and a download link would be very nice, rather than
trying to fish the out latest version from the mailing list...

So I suggest that you *do* turn this into a project. :)

I also changed the find command again and it also works, with one nit,
which is probably just CentOS/RHEL being odd. See the following output:

The various links in sysfs refer to sr0 but I don't have a /dev/sr0, I
have /dev/scd0. I guess that's the udev rules Red Hat chose. Anyway, my
fix was to add 2>/dev/null into the sginfo command, which makes the
warning go away - sginfo -s /dev/scd0 gives me no serial anyway.

The only other improvement would be better formatting for controllers
with multiple devices, e.g. IDE interfaces, port multipliers and real
SCSI cards, which could have 2, 5 or 15 devices attached so displaying
the SCSI device ID could be helpful in those cases. It doesn't apply to
me but I thought of it when someone had both primary and slave devices
on their IDE controller, and someone else mentioned port multipliers.

Cheers,

John.

As I don't have sginfo on my system installed, I replaced the sn= line with

sn=`smartctl -i /dev/$bdev | awk '/Serial Number/{print $3}'`

Now the script works like a charm

Found another nitlet. I plugged in a USB hard drive caddy, with a drive
in it, and it appears as follows:

Controller device @ pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.7/usb1/1-3/1-3:1.0 [usb-storage]
cat: /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.7/usb1/1-3/1-3:1.0/../bus num: No
such file or directory
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 152d:2339 JMicron Technology Corp. / JMicron
USA Technology Corp. {SN: 021F807334FF}
host10: /dev/sdd SAMSUNG HD400LJ

If there's anything I can help with, just let me know.

Cheers,

John.

Well, I threw it out as public domain specifically because I don't have enough time available to manage a formal project. I don't think the script itself is professional enough to want my copyright attached. I'm happy to kick simple adjustments around on a mailing list, as time permits.

If *you* have the time, go for it. :)
