Best procedure with disk failure in a PowerVault MD3000i Storage??
Hello there,
before anything, I appologize for my poor english.
I'm pretty new in Dell hardware, but I already had a problem with a MD3000i and I tried to solve it based on Dell documentation on the web and followed steps described in the Recovery Guru.
The original problem: physical disk failure detected in one disk of a RAID5 array, hardware started to use the spare. Amber LED on hardware and failed disk slot.
Following Dell documentation, I removed the disk and I put it back. After that, disk LED turned green and the physical disk started OK and online, and began the data recovery.
After finished, the MDSM tells me that the physical disk has lost Redundancy to it's Access Route.
My questions are;
1.Did I proceed correctly? Or is not recommended to do this?
2.There's any possibility of data transfer occurs using both physical failed and hot spare without giving me an alarm? Kind of switching between them constantly?
3.It is really necessary to lost data in the virtual disk or shutting down the entire LUN just to make this disk fail from SMcli, so we can replace it?
Thanks a lot!!
