Hey All,

I'm circling back to try and correct an issue that originated a couple weeks ago. I've been stuck traveling for work and am finally getting a breather to be able to attack things.

One of my HBA's had itself a moment and offline'd a bunch of drives. In the course of recovering I was able to get my array back online but I'm in a state where one of my two Parity disks is marked as "Device is Disabled" as well as one of my Data disks in the array.

I originally had some XFS errors (on the offline data disk, coincidentally) that I was just able to run a repair on and it reports everything has been corrected and no subsequent issues on an additional scan after the fact

My question is now, is there anything more I should do as a pre-check

I believe both disks to be in good working order, their current status related to my HBA issue

From some other reading it sounds like I'd want to set the device as "No Device" start the array, stop the array, Re-add the device and allow a Parity sync to occur

If that were to be the case, I would SUSPECT my first course of action would be to get back to a dual-parity state and I don't think the right thing to do would be trying to tackle both disks in one pass

So my questions are

1) Would the steps above be the correct to do to get the disks out of the "Device is Disabled" state

2) Should I perform these steps first for my disabled Parity drive and allow the rebuild to occur

3) Once that rebuild process occurs, I would stop the array and perform the same steps for the disabled data drive

Are there any other oversights I may be not realizing?

Diagnostics attached for good measure

Steps are correct, since both disks are already disabled, I would rebuild both at the same time; there's no point in keeping one of them disabled while the other rebuilds.

I was hoping I could save myself having to run multiple re-syncs, I just wasn't sure if that was the "safe" avenue or not
Appreciate it!
