8-8-24 22:30 EDT We experienced a crash of our new HPE Alletra all flash SAN yesterday. This caused the hosts to lose connectivity with this SAN (1 of 4 in that DC, but this SAN has many VMs for GMS Canada).
We have received the HPE analysis, and will proceed with an emergency maintenance tonight as recommended by HPE.
We certainly strive for 100% availability, but this is IT and we sometimes have unpredictable issues.
The new Dynamic Business Central architecture is planned with SQL HA across 2 datacenters and load balancing across the 2 DCs for the front end too, so this event would not have affected anyone with the coming architecture.
Notes from HPE:
We have an update from the Engineering team on this.
This is matching the footprints of a known issue seen on the current OS version This is iSCSI specific and happened during normal use of the array.
A fix is available in the next OS version 10.4.0.
In order to avoid this issue in future request you to please have the system upgraded to 10.4.0.
