FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Parity builds, real redundancy and the South Africa lane.

Southern Africa, at five to eight days door-to-door from Cairo, with South Africa named on that card. It is our published figure and clearance is quoted apart from it.
Check whether the parity build ever finished. When a parity array is created the controller must compute and write parity across every block, and until that completes the array holds no usable redundancy. Many controllers present the array as available immediately so you can start using it, and an array that was created and then had its build interrupted can report optimal while being unable to survive a single failure.
Optimal means no member is failed or missing. It is a statement about membership, not about whether parity is complete and consistent. The two are usually the same thing, which is why the distinction is almost never drawn, and they come apart precisely in the case that matters.
A reboot during the build, a power event, or a controller that deprioritised the background task under heavy production load until it effectively never progressed. Builds on large arrays run for a long time, and an estate that puts a new array straight into service may never have given it a quiet period to finish in.
The controller reports background task status and parity consistency. Reading it across the estate takes minutes and is worth doing on any array created under time pressure. We supply controllers and cache modules where a build cannot complete because the hardware behind it is incomplete.

Losing an entire volume to a single disk failure on an array that had been reporting optimal for months is the kind of event that destroys confidence in monitoring. The monitoring was not lying. It was answering a narrower question than anyone realised it was being asked.

Optimal Describes Membership, Not Protection

An array reports optimal when no member is failed or missing. That is a statement about which disks are present and responding. Whether parity has been computed and written across the whole array is a separate condition, tracked separately, and usually invisible unless somebody goes looking for it. In almost every array the two coincide, which is exactly why nobody distinguishes them.

The array is usable before it is protected

Controllers present a new parity array for use immediately, computing parity in the background, because waiting hours or days before writing any data would be unacceptable. That is a sensible design. Its consequence is a window in which the array is fully functional and carries no redundancy at all, and if the build is interrupted, that window never closes.

Interruption is easy and leaves no obvious mark

A reboot during the build, a power event, or a controller that yields to production until the background task makes no meaningful progress will all leave the array usable and unprotected. On an estate that commissions storage under time pressure and puts it straight into service, nothing ever creates the quiet period the build needs, and no alert fires because nothing has failed.

What ICD Supplies for HPE Estates in South Africa

Smart Array controllers whose background task state can be read and confirmed, the cache and energy modules a build depends on, drives in the tray the enclosure addresses, MSA shelves and canisters, ProLiant chassis and boards, and memory in the documented population sequence. South Africa sits on the published Southern Africa lane at 5 to 8 days from Cairo. Everything ships tested under load, serial-recorded, and warranted one to three years.
