Re: MSA 2040 disk spare failed

Hello,

If the disk works in another system then there are a couple of steps you can take.

Both your array and your drives need upgrading. There are several drive types that have a critical firmware upgrade that prevents a premature failure from occurring. You need to get those drives upgraded quickly! Your array is also running a version of code that has several improvements in drive error handling and reporting.

If you have another system that works with the drive you should review the drive errors in that system before continuing to swap the drive back into the original system. It sounds as if that drive might have thrown errors. WIthout a full log review it is impossible to determine whether the drive has predictive failure or UREs and how close the drive is to failure.

Cheers,
Shawn
