SAN Refresh

I've faced this difficulty while I'm trying to shrink the DMX disk. Tried different ways of checking like which application is using this disk etc. This is not a cluster node, hence checked the SQL related and other application services. Worked Solution: (Get a new disk with bigger size) Eventhough has same problem occurs, hence I've asked the stroage team to provide bigger size of a new disk. Now I tried mirror the volume with other new available bigger disk. worked!!! Vertias Storage Foundation 5.1 with SP1 (Veritas Enterprise Administrator)

Problem V-76-58645-218 "Insufficient space to grow volume" appears while expanding a volume - Veritas Storage Foundation for Windows Error V-76-58645-218 Insufficient space to grow volume Solution Description If volume that is being expanded resides on a disk that is marked as "At Risk," the disk must be reactivated before the volume can be expanded. Solution Remove the "At Risk" flag by following these steps: 1. From Veritas Enterprise Administrator (VEA), expand Disks. 2. Right-click on the disk that is marked as "At Risk." 3. Select Reactivate Disk. 4. Click Yes. Once the disk is no longer listed as "At Risk," expanding the volume should complete successfully.

Found this on one HP server, find the resolution steps in after the screenshots - All drives looked good from HP Array Configuration Utility.   Selected the option: "Re-enable Failed Logical Drive" OK to those scary follow-up pop ups.   All worked fine, without  any reboot (this one tried on Windows 2003 EE box_x32)

I've got this issue with one of the HP Server (HP DL380 G5 Model with x64 bit Windows OS). Just simple resolution,  get the PSP update to the latest version (if 7.91 is there ---> 8.15 --> 8.30 --->  8.50 is the latest at present_3rd Sept'10) This should definitely resolve the Thermal Status Degraded 6041 error alerts in the HP SIM.

Command Line command to check the Solution Enabler Version etc run c:\program files\emc\symcli\bin\symcli Sample Output:
