Hi,
I have MSA 2040. I have disk damage and I follow this description.
https://www.stephenwagner.com/2017/01/27/hpe-msa-2040-disk-failure-considerations-and-steps/
I do what is described in point two and I have the disk as spare for 15 seconds after confirmation and disk becomes a failed.
Why MSA doesn't accept as spare the disk and marks it as damaged?
Replacing for another disk and the same problem - failed.
Logs:
Health Fault
Health Reason The disk has a probable hardware failure.
Health Recommendation
- Replace the disk with one of the same type (SAS SSD, enterprise SAS, or midline SAS) and the same or greater capacity. For continued optimum I/O performance, the replacement disk should have performance that is the same as or better than the one it is replacing.
Event ID Code Message

Additional Information:
None.
Recommended Action:
- Replace the disk with one of the same type (SAS SSD, enterprise SAS, or midline SAS) and the same or greater capacity. For continued optimum I/O performance, the replacement disk should have performance that is the same as or better than the one it is replacing.
- If the failed disk was a global spare, configure the new disk as a global spare.
- If the failed disk was a dedicated spare, configure the new disk as a dedicated spare for the same vdisk.
