appear, use PDM to copy the data to a new physical drive. Go to Disk Array Info
and Settings.

Disk Array Info and Settings. After rebuilding, the drive will show Stale. Run Clear
Stale then run Clear PFA.
If the physical drive with a PFA error is a spare, you must delete the drive as a
spare, then Clear PFA will be available.
