alarm is
reported
to iBMC.
Issue 12 (2022-08-30)
Handling Procedure
1. If the drive is in a RAID array
and the RAID array is not
functioning correctly,
troubleshoot the RAID array.
2. If the server has stopped, use
Smart Provisioning
the server hardware. If the
server is operating, replace the
drive.
3. If the server has stopped,
check whether the cables are
properly connected. For
example, replace the cables to
check whether the cables are
faulty.
4. If the fault persists, insert the
new drive into the slot that
you suspect to be faulty to
check whether that slot is
faulty.
NOTE
For RAID controller cards that
support out-of-band
management, if a drive is in the
Unconfigured Good (Foreign)
state, an iBMC alarm will be
generated but the fault indicator
will not light up.

avoid data loss.
