Recognizing a Hard Drive Failure
A steadily glowing fault LED indicates that the hard drive has failed. Other means by which hard drive
failure is revealed are:
• The amber LED on the front of a storage system illuminates if failed drives are inside. However, this LED
also illuminates when other problems occur, such as when a fan fails, a redundant power supply fails, or
the system overheats.
• A POST message lists failed drives whenever the system is restarted, as long as the controller detects at
least one functional drive.
• ACU represents failed drives with a distinctive icon.
• Systems Insight Manager can detect failed drives remotely across a network. For more information about
Systems Insight Manager, see the documentation on the management CD.
• ADU (Array Diagnostic Utility) lists all failed drives.
For troubleshooting information about diagnosing hard drive problems, see the server service guide.
CAUTION Sometimes, a drive that has previously been failed by the controller may seem to be operational
after the system is power cycled or (for a hot-pluggable drive) after the drive has been removed
and reinserted. However, continued use of such marginal drives may eventually result in data
loss. HP recommends that you replace the marginal drive as soon as possible.

CAUTION: Do not remove the drive. Removing a drive may
terminate the current operation and cause data loss. The drive is
part of an array that is undergoing capacity expansion or stripe
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.
CAUTION: Do not remove the drive. Removing a drive may
terminate the current operation and cause data loss. The drive is
part of an array that is undergoing capacity expansion or stripe
migration.
The drive is active, but a predictive failure alert has been received
for this drive. Replace the drive as soon as possible.
The drive is active, and it is operating normally.
A critical fault condition has been identified for this drive, and the
controller has placed it offline. Replace the drive as soon as
possible.
A predictive failure alert has been received for this drive. Replace
the drive as soon as possible.
The drive is offline, a spare, or not configured as part of an array.
