Hi all,
I've just returned from holiday and noted server was off, likely due to a power cut. I switched the server back on and drive 1 of 8 (only drive being filled atm) has a red cross - emulated but disabled.
Smart report showed UDMA CRC error counts – I noted this 2–3 months ago, e.g count of 16, now 1000ish. ?dodgy mini-sas cable? (edited)
I've done another quick smart check - "Completed without error" and done a read check
I've put the server into maintenance mode (xfs array) and did a check on the affected drive with "-n" flag, I then removed "-n" and re-ran it to repair. No obvious errors shown.
I then unassigned the drive, started server, then stopped, re-assigned the drive from drop down and restarted server. It ran a parity and then threw out read errors / udma crc errors etc - and still shows as emulated
1) I've ordered new mini sas 8087 cables for hba (replace cheap cables that came with it). Other than this, is there anything else i should be doing / should have done??
2) Do I repeat the above steps after changing the cables?
