After incorrect shutdown procedure EMC VNX5300 one of my LUN has dirty cache flag and of course it's offline. I connected to service port of SP and I've access to flarecons program. I entered engineer mode and tried command: cld 4 to clear dirty cache flag, but unfourtunatly there is error message:
fcli> cld 4
The FLU is already in the ASSIGNED state
How and where can I remove assigned state to clear dirty cache flag? Should I? And if I unassign it will I lose all data after reassign? I can't contact support because I don't have support anymore. This is more like test array without important data but I would to know how to fix this problem.
please I want to know all commands, I can run in CS for VNX5300 to clear Dirty Cache on offline LUNs
I did this and this is the result.
[root@vnx5300-cs0 sbin]# ./navicli -h spa luncache 18 -clear Bringing the LUN online (clearing the cache dirty condition) will cause all writes destined for the LUN to be lost. Do you want to clear the LUN cache dirty condition now? (y/n)? y Error: luncache command failed This version of Core Software does not support luncache -clear or luncache -list on Poo l LUNs
Are you running the clear from the SP that owns the lun? Here is a link to the command reference guide for VNX block systems and if you look on page 116 it list the steps. https://dell.to/3ubOAM6
