Frequently Asked Questions
Embedded arrays, portability and the Rwanda lane.
HPE Support in Rwanda After End of Life
The recovery plan everybody assumes they have is this one: if the server dies, move the disks to another server of the same type and carry on. It is a good plan and it depends on an assumption that is not always true, which is that the array definition travels with the disks. Sometimes it lives somewhere else entirely.
Some Arrays Are a Property of the Host, Not of the Disks
Entry-level embedded storage on a number of ProLiant generations is implemented in software. The firmware utility presents an array and the operating system driver does the work of assembling it. There is no controller with its own memory holding a complete, portable description of the layout. The disks carry the data; the arrangement is understood by the host. Separate them and you have the words without the grammar.
It behaves exactly like a hardware array until it matters
It survives reboots. It presents a single volume. It will mark a disk failed and rebuild onto a replacement. It is configured through a utility that looks and feels like the one used for a proper controller. Every day-to-day behaviour is indistinguishable, which is why the distinction is almost never known in advance. It surfaces once, during a chassis failure, under pressure.
Repeated attempts are what turn this into data loss
The natural response is to try the disks in another machine, and then another, perhaps in a different controller. Each attempt risks a foreign controller writing its own metadata, and that is how a situation that was recoverable by rebuilding the original software environment becomes one that is not. The right first move is to stop moving the disks.
What ICD Supplies for HPE Estates in Rwanda
Hardware Smart Array controllers that carry the array definition with the disks, the cache and energy modules those controllers need to cache safely, drives in the carrier the chosen controller addresses, ProLiant chassis and system boards, memory matched to what the board currently holds, and supplies rated with their partner. Our shipping page places Rwanda on the East Africa lane, 4 to 6 days door to door from Cairo. Parts ship only after a load test, with the serial on record and one to three years of cover.
