Identifying And Correcting Or Removing Failed Disk Drives - IBM Advanced SerialRAID Adapters SA33-3285-02 User Manual

Identifying and Correcting or Removing Failed Disk Drives

When a disk drive fails, the array rejects it. If access to the array is still possible, the
Current Use attribute of the disk drive is changed from Member of an SSA RAID
Array to Rejected. The disk drive is listed in the SMIT menus as a rejected disk drive.
If the disk drive cannot be accessed, however, it cannot be listed as a rejected disk. (A
disk drive cannot be accessed if its Check light is on, or its Power light is off.)
To find rejected disk drives that cannot be accessed, go to "MAP 2010: START" on
page 444 to determine the cause of the failure.
To find rejected disk drives that can be accessed, do the following procedure:
