February 21, 20215 yr Woke up to a warning that I have a disk with read errors and an alert with one disk in error state. I do have a drive ready to go if need be. Should I be replacing this ASAP? attached is diagnostic file jesse-diagnostics-20210221-0817.zip
February 21, 20215 yr Possibly just a controller problem,, SASLP is not recommended for a long time, but since the disk dropped there's no SMART, power cycle the server and post new diags.
February 21, 20215 yr Author Server booted with missing disk. Says not installed. Why is SASLP not recommended? See updated diagnostics jesse-diagnostics-20210221-1019.zip
February 21, 20215 yr 11 minutes ago, jsoonias said: Why is SASLP not recommended? Because they have a habit of dropping disks offline for no obvious reason.
February 21, 20215 yr Author At this point I think I should probably replace the drive and rebuild. Am I correct?
February 21, 20215 yr Author I remounted the drive and it has shown up again. I have included the SMART report. Should I be starting the array with the drive in it original position? It says starting the array will start a parity check and or data rebuild jesse-smart-20210221-1129.zip
February 22, 20215 yr Disk looks fine, if the emulated disk is mounting and data looks correct you can rebuild on top, but should also replace that controller ASAP.
February 22, 20215 yr Author I ended up rebuilding on a new drive and preclearing the existing one. I got antsy. Any recommendations on a replacement controller? Thanks for all your help
