Managing Physical Drive Problems
Physical drives can develop problems that make them unsuitable for service in a
disk array. These problems are reflected in the physical drive status. Two such
status conditions are:
• Stale – Caused by obsolete array information on the physical drive
• Dead – Physical drive set down by the SuperTrak controller
In some cases, you can use WebPAM PRO to restore such physical drives to OK
status. See “Clearing Stale and PFA Conditions” on page 126 and “Forcing a
Physical Drive Offline or Online” on page 125.
