Physical disk takes a long time to rebuild
Issue: A physical disk is taking longer than expected to rebuild.
Description: A physical disk takes longer to rebuild when under high stress. There is only one rebuild I/O operation for every ve
host I/O operations.
Corrective Action: If possible, reduce stress on the physical disk.
SMART errors
SMART monitors the internal performance of all motors, heads, and physical disk electronics and detects predictable physical disk failures.
NOTE: For information about where to nd reports of SMART errors that could indicate hardware failure, see the Dell
OpenManage storage management documentation at Dell.com/support/manuals.
Smart error detected on a physical disk in a redundant virtual
disk
Issue: A SMART error is detected on a physical disk in a redundant virtual disk.
Corrective Action: Perform the following steps:
1 Back up your data.
2 Force the physical disk oine.
NOTE: If a hot spare is present, the rebuild starts with the hot spare after the disk is forced
oine.
3 Replace the disk with a new physical disk of equal or higher capacity.
4 Perform the Replace Member operation.
NOTE: The Replace Member operation allows you to copy data from a source physical disk of a
virtual disk to a target physical disk that is not a part of the virtual disk. For more information
about the Replace Member feature, see the topic Conguring hot spare.
Smart error detected on a physical disk in a non-redundant
virtual disk
Issue:
A SMART error is detected on a physical disk in a non-redundant virtual disk.
Corrective Action: Perform the following steps:
1 Back up your data.
2 Use Replace Member or set up a global hot spare to replace the disk automatically.
NOTE: For more information about the Replace Member feature, see the topic Conguring hot
spare.
3 Replace the aected physical disk with a new physical disk of equal or higher capacity.
4 Restore from the backup.
