launch starting from the position where the process stopped.
If the rebuild does not start, scan the device.
5.2
Preventive Replacement Procedure of a
Hard Disk
When the failure prediction function of the hard disk (S.M.A.R.T.) reports the "Critical" status of a
hard disk, it may fail at a future date. If the "Critical" status is reported, it is recommended to perform
preventive replacement of the hard disk.
The following explains the procedure of preventive replacement of a hard disk.
For preventive replacement, use a hard disk of the same model (with the same
capacity and speed) as the likely-to-fail disk as a rule.
If the onboard SCSI array controller for this server configures the disk array, it is possible to replace a
hard disk without turning off the server.
1
Check the channel and ID of the hard disk indicated as likely to fail
(S.M.A.R.T.) by using Disk Drive Information of GAM.
For more details, refer to "4.5.3 Viewing Hard Disk Information" ( pg.43).
The hard disk that has received a failure prediction warning is displayed with the following
icon.
If any other failed hard disk exists at this point, replace it following the procedures described
in "5.1 Replacing a Hard Disk" ( pg.50). Also, if the logical drive is being rebuilt, wait until
the process completes. After its completion, check the hard disk indicated as likely to fail
(S.M.A.R.T.) by using Disk Drive Information.
2
Double-click the icon of the likely-to-fail hard disk by GAM to
confirm that its "Status" indicates "Critical".
3
Press the [Make Offline] button. When the [WARNING] window
appears, enter "YES" and press the [OK] button.
4
Make sure that the Fault LED corresponding to the likely-to-fail
hard disk is lit.
