Other ways to identify a failed physical disk

Other ways to recognize that a physical disk has failed are as follows:
The amber LED lights up on the front of supported StorageWorks disk enclosures if failed
drives are inside.
NOTE:
over-temperature conditions also cause this LED to light.
EMS sends an alert message when physical or logical drive failure occurs. For more information,
see "Event Monitoring Service" (page

Confirming physical disks failures using sautil

To confirm physical disk failures, use the sautil <device_file> command.
The LOGICAL DRIVE SUMMARY section of the sautil <device_file> command output lists
the status of logical drives known to the RAID firmware.
The SCSI DEVICE SUMMARY section of the sautil <device_file> command output lists
configured disks and unassigned disks known to the RAID firmware.
The LOGICAL DRIVE sections of the sautil <device_file> command output provide
additional information on each logical drive.

Green
On, off, or The disk has failed, or a predictive failure alert has been received for this disk;
flashing it also has been selected by a management application.
On, off, or The disk is operating normally and it has been selected by a management
flashing application.
On A predictive failure alert has been received for this disk. Replace the disk as
soon as possible.
On The disk is online but is not active.
Flashing once per The drive is part of an array that is undergoing capacity expansion or stripe
second migration, but a predictive failure alert has been received for this drive. To
minimize the risk of data loss, do not replace the drive until the expansion or
migration is complete.
Do not remove the disk. Removing the disk can terminate the current operation
and cause data loss.
Flashing once per The disk is rebuilding, or it is part of an array that is undergoing capacity
second expansion or stripe migration.
Do not remove the disk. Removing the disk can terminate the current operation
and cause data loss.
Flashing The disk is active but a predictive failure alert has been received for this disk.
irregularly Replace the disk as soon as possible.
Flashing The disk is active and is operating normally.
irregularly
Off A critical fault condition has been identified for this disk, and the controller
has placed it offline. Replace the disk as soon as possible.
Off A predictive failure alert has been received for this disk. Replace the disk as
soon as possible.
Off The disk is offline, is a spare, or is not configured as part of an array.
Other problems such as fan failure, redundant power supply failure, or
