Spewu Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 (edited) Hi there This is the first time I have seen this issue. One of my data disks shows an error saying "device is disabled, contents emulated". I have tried searching the forums, but it looks like I will need some help looking at the diagnostics, to determine if the drive has completely failed or not. I have attached the diagnostics here, so I hope someone can have a look. (I have no idea where to look myself to be honest) Thanks a lot! tower-diagnostics-20210223-1633.zip Edited February 24, 2021 by Spewu Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Disk dropped offline, so most likely a power/connection issue, but because of that there's no SMART report, so check connections and post new diags. 1 Quote Link to comment

Thanks a lot - it seems you were right. I powered down the server, opened it up and checked the cables - made sure they were fitted properly. Powered up the server and saw a message that the disk was recognised again. However, there is still a red cross next to the disk, so it seems like it is not included properly yet. What steps do I need to take to get it included again? tower-diagnostics-20210223-1752.zip Quote Link to comment

That's expected, once a disk is disable it needs to be rebuilt., disk itself looks OK, emulated disk is mounting and if data looks correct you can rebuild on top, I would still recommend replacing/swapping the cables to rule them out before rebuilding. 1 Quote Link to comment
