Physical Disk Drive Failure Alert on ECC

I think the msgs you're seeing are the symdevs involved in a spindel error. So one of the hypers of each named symdev is actually on the failed or possibly degraded disk. I've found out that this doesn't nessesary mean there's a disk failure, but IMHO this is something which is going to happen soon (in 5% of all cases like this there actually was a disk failure. In the other cases the PSE lab "reset" the error msg and the DMX was happy again). I wouldn't disable these warnings if I were you. You won't be seeing them that much anyway.

Thank you for sharing your experience.

I've found something interesting on Primus emc143766. It explains like it's the known-issues on ECC and Solution Enabler software and should have to upgrade to the latest version also. I'm not sure that this is a cause of my case or not. But the ECC at my customer's site is now version 5.2 and no any service packs installed. I think I'll try to install SP first.

We are at ECC 5.2 SP5 and these warnings are still there, even if there's no real disk failure, but like I said, sometimes the EMC PSE lab fixes errors or resets counters and you are stuck with warnings in ECC.
