Virtual Disk Fails During Rebuild Using A Global Hot Spare; Virtual Disk Fails During Rebuild Using A Dedicated Hot Spare; Virtual Disk Fails Rebuild Using A Dedicated Hot Spare; Physical Disk Takes A Long Time To Rebuild - Dell PowerEdge VRTX User Manual

Corrective If you have configured hot spares, the PERC card automatically tries to use one of them to
Action: rebuild a physical disk that is in a failed state. The automatic rebuild will not be available if
there is no hot spare with enough capacity to rebuild the failed physical disk. You must make
sure a physical disk with enough storage in the subsystem is set as a hot spare for rebuilding
the physical disk.

Virtual Disk Fails During Rebuild Using A Global Hot Spare

Issue: A virtual disk fails during rebuild while using a global hot spare.
Description: The global hot spare goes back to Hotspare state and the virtual disk goes to Failed state.

Virtual Disk Fails During Rebuild Using A Dedicated Hot Spare

Issue: A virtual disk fails during rebuild while using a dedicated hot spare.
Description: The dedicated hot spare goes to Ready state and the virtual disk goes to Failed state.

Virtual Disk Fails Rebuild Using A Dedicated Hot Spare

Issue: A virtual disk fails during rebuild while using a dedicated hot spare.
Description: The dedicated hot spare goes to Ready state and the virtual disk goes to Failed state.

Physical Disk Takes A Long Time To Rebuild

Issue: A physical disk is taking longer than expected to rebuild.
Description: A physical disk takes longer to rebuild when under high stress. For example, there is one
rebuild I/O operation for every five host I/O operations. You cannot add a second virtual disk to
a disk group while the virtual disk in that disk group is undergoing a rebuild. The firmware does
not allow you to create a virtual disk using the free space available in a disk group if a physical
disk in a virtual disk group is undergoing a rebuild operation.

SMART Errors

Self Monitoring and Reporting Technology (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 can indicate hardware failure, see the
Chassis Management Controller for Dell PowerEdge VRTX User's Guide at dell.com/esmmanuals.
