HPE ignored SAN failure warnings at Australian Taxation Office, had no recovery plan

'Stressed fibre optical cabling' crashed 3PAR box, then wide-striped disks went kaput

The HPE 3PAR SANs that twice failed at the Australian Taxation Office had warned of outages for months, but HPE decided the arrays were in no danger of major failure. Combined with decisions to place the SANs' recovery software was on the SANs themselves, and HPE's configuration of the SANs for speed, not resilience, the failures proved difficult to recover from even if no data was lost."
