Hello DanPosey19,

When you get the Physical disk channel error what you want to do is to check to make sure all drives are online & present.  Are there any expansion enclosures attached to your MD3000?  Here are the commands that need to be run:

smcli -n -p password -c "clear allPhysicalDiskChannels stats;"

smcli -n -p password -c "set physicalDiskChannel [0] status=optimal;"

smcli -n -p password -c "set physicalDiskChannel [1] status=optimal;"

smcli -n -p password -c "set physicalDiskChannel [2] status=optimal;"

smcli -n -p password -c "set physicalDiskChannel [3] status=optimal;"

If after running the commands you are still getting the error then we will need to review a support bundle from your MD3260i.   

Please let us know if you have any other questions.
