ESX+Debian = "mpt-statusd: detected non-optimal RAID status"

Post by ^rooker »

[PROBLEM]
Just checked the logs of one of our Debian servers running in an VMware ESX host environment. In /var/log/messages I saw the following warning appearing repeatedly:
mpt-statusd: detected non-optimal RAID status
[SOLUTION]
The mpt-status daemon can't read through the virtualization layer, so it's actually safe to just stop and remove it from the runlevels:

Code: Select all

$ update-rc.d-insserv -f mpt-statusd remove

More information can be found here (Sorry, only in German):
