jsoonias Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 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 Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 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. Quote Link to comment
jsoonias Posted February 21, 2021 Author Share Posted February 21, 2021 Server booted with missing disk. Says not installed. Why is SASLP not recommended? See updated diagnostics jesse-diagnostics-20210221-1019.zip Quote Link to comment

jsoonias Posted February 21, 2021 Author Share Posted February 21, 2021 At this point I think I should probably replace the drive and rebuild. Am I correct? Quote Link to comment
jsoonias Posted February 21, 2021 Author Share Posted February 21, 2021 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 Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 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. Quote Link to comment
jsoonias Posted February 22, 2021 Author Share Posted February 22, 2021 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 Quote Link to comment
