Smcli revive diskPool command not available

Hello Sam,

When there is a multiple disk failure such that the DDP failure you need to make sure that you revive all the drives in the correct order before you can revive the disk pool.  It is best to contact support for this as we will need to look at a support bundle and have to run some commands on the controller to ensure that the revive of the drives is done in the correct order so that you can revive the disk pool. 

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Dell-Sam L (nice name btw),

Thanks for the response.

Drives are all in an optimal state and ready for the pools to be revived.  What I am reporting is a deficiency in SMcli and that the command SMcli -n -c "revive diskPool[pool_name]" doesn't exist.  And what I am asking is, is there another way to revive a disk pool.

Hello Sam,

Remove tray_name from your syntax.  You want it to be like this.

smcli -n -c "revive diskPool [diskPoolName]"

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Hello Sam, have you been able to make it work?

I have same issue:

• MD3220i, controllers firmware 08.20.24.60
• MDSS 6.5.0.1

SMcli 10.0.0.102 -c "revive diskPool [dp1];"  
Performing syntax check...  

Encountered "diskPool" at line 1, column 23.  
Was expecting one of:

"physicalDisk" ...
"diskGroup" ...
"snapGroup" ...
"cgMemberVirtualDisk" ...
"snapVirtualDisk" ...

SMcli failed.

Thanks for helping!

Hello Alex,

You have a semi colon in your syntax that should be there.  You want to use the following command:

SMcli 10.0.0.102 -c "revive diskPool [dp1]"

That should fix your issue and allow the command to complete successfully.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.
