SMART Errors
SMART monitors the internal performance of all motors, heads, and physical
disk electronics and detects predictable physical disk failures.
NOTE: For information about where to find reports of SMART errors that could
indicate hardware failure, see the Dell OpenManage storage management
documentation at support.dell.com/manuals.
Smart Error Detected on a Physical Disk in a Redundant Virtual Disk
Issue: A SMART error is detected on a physical disk in a redundant virtual
disk.
Corrective Action:
Perform the following steps:
1
Back up your data.
2
Force the physical disk offline.
NOTE: If a hot spare is present, the rebuild starts with the hot spare after the
disk is forced offline.
3
Replace the disk with a new physical disk of equal or higher capacity.
4
Perform the
Replace Member
operation.
The
Replace Member
operation allows you to copy data from a source
physical disk of a virtual disk to a target physical disk that is not a part of
the virtual disk. For more information about the
Replace Member
feature,
see "Using Replace Member and Revertible Hot Spares" on page 31.
