One of my DS10's with S5300A, 2 disks in RAID 1 config, has run for months without a problem, suddenly hangs, CTRL-P didn't do anything, so the only solution to get it running again was power cycle. Had this several times, sometimes within an hour, other it could run for days but the problem reoccurred. Done some further investigation with cabinet open, noted the LEDs blinking or steady on the card itself. In the end - after a few hours - the card failed to initialize, wasn't even recognized anymore by SRM.
Most likely died, so I'll need to find another one. In the mean time, looking for the installation and configuration (and other) manuals, the only thing I could locate are release notes, and the HPE page that mentions the key-combinations to be used on a non-graphical interface (read: console) mentions a number of links that are either non-existent, or deny access. Does anyone have documents or valid links to them for this information?
