Setting a Disk Drive to ‘Failed’
Before you can remove a disk drive from a server, you must set it to a
failed state to protect your data.
Caution: You may lose data or damage your disk drive if you
remove a disk drive without first setting it to a failed state.
You can set a disk drive to a failed state if:
● The disk drive is not part of a logical drive, or
● The disk drive is part of a redundant, healthy logical drive
You can’t set a disk drive to a failed state if doing so will take a logical
drive offline.
To set a disk drive to a failed state:
1 In the Physical Devices View, click the disk drive.
2 In the menu bar, select Actions, then click Set drive state to failed.
3 Click Ye s to set the drive status to failed.
4 Remove and replace the disk drive.
5 If the logical drive that the disk drive belongs to is failed, see
Recovering from a Disk Drive Failure on page 147.
