Logical Drive - Hot Spare in Use

What Caused the Problem?

One or more drives have failed, and hot spare drives have automatically taken over for the failed drives. The data on the logical drives is still accessible. The Recovery Guru Details area provides specific information you will need as you follow the recovery steps.

 Caution: Possible loss of data accessibility. Do not remove a component when either (1) the Service action (removal) allowed (SAA) field in the Details area of this recovery procedure is NO (), or (2) the SAA LED on the affected component is OFF (note that some products do not have SAA LEDs). Removing a component while its SAA LED is OFF may result in temporary loss of access to your data. Refer to the following Important Notes for more detail.

 Caution: Electrostatic discharge can damage sensitive components. Always use proper antistatic protection when handling components. Touching components without using a proper ground may damage the equipment.

Important Notes

Recovery Steps

1 Check the Details area to identify the failed drive.
2 Remove the drive (its fault indicator light should be on).
3 Wait 30 seconds, then insert the new drive. Its fault indicator light may be lit for a short time (one minute or less).

Result: The affected logical drives in the Logical View of the Subsystem Management Window change to an Operation in Progress icon as the reconstruction/copyback operations take place. When reconstruction/copyback is completed, the logical drives return to Optimal , and the hot spare drive returns to Standby. To monitor reconstruction progress on the affected logical drives select the affected logical drive, then select Logical Drive >> Properties. Note that once the operation in progress has completed, the progress bar is no longer displayed in the properties dialog.

4 Repeat steps 1 through 3 for each failed drive.
5 Click the Recheck button to rerun the Recovery Guru. The failure should no longer appear in the Summary area. If the failure appears again, contact your technical support representative.
