[lustre-discuss] Disk failures triggered during OST creation and mounting on OSS Servers

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for your response. We discovered later that the network issues 
originating from the iDRAC IP were causing the SAS driver to hang or 
experience timeouts when trying to access the drives. This resulted in 
the drives being kicked out.

Once we resolved this issue, both the mkfs and mount operations started 
working fine.

Thanks,
Jane
