mwoods98 Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 So so this morning I awoke to this message: So one of my drives is disabled and its a relatively new drive. I wanted to make sure I do this right to see if drive is damaged or if it can be saved. I'm open to any suggestions. Thanks I also have included server diags. tower-diagnostics-20210903-1227.zip Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Disk17 dropped offline so there's no SMART, check connection and post new diags after that but most likely disk is fine, disk15 on the other hand appears to be failing, and that could be a problem since you don't have dual parity.

mwoods98 Posted September 3, 2021 Author Share Posted September 3, 2021 Ok reporting back. I have fully shut down the array and re-seated Disk 17 - Powered back up and its still saying not installed I can try to move it to a different bay, its in a disk shelf to be sure. I'm open to all suggestions Quote Link to comment
mwoods98 Posted September 4, 2021 Author Share Posted September 4, 2021 Update: So I still have Disk 17 being emulated but I went back and I saw this: After re-seating the drive, I noticed a new unassigned drive showed up. It has the SN as the "missing" drive I also downloaded the smart diagnostic from this drive. I'm looking for suggestions on what to do from here? I'm not sure if I can mount this drive and replace it or tell it that its drive 17. Thoughts? tower-smart-20210903-1738.zip Quote Link to comment

JorgeB Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Because you're using a NetApp enclosure SMART report is pretty much useless, I believe there's a way of getting a correct report manually, but you'll need to search the forum since I never used one of those enclosures.

I haven't been able to find anything yet on pulling a report from a drive in an enclosure. I'm still curious as to why this drive is now showing up as unassigned. Quote Link to comment
