Hello. What server and controller do you have? A drive in a predictive fail state shall fail any ways. Go a head and replace this drive, you don't to wait for it to fail. If the drive is a hot swap, you do not have to first offline it before replacing.
Hi- We have a failing drive with following info gleaned from MegaCLI... C:\>megacli64 -PDInfo -PhysDrv [32:13] -a0 -NoLog | grep -E "(Slot Number:|Count:|Firmware state:|S.M.A.R.T)"Slot Number: 13Media Error Count: 94Other Error Count: 0Predictive Failure Count: 6Firmware state: Online, Spun UpDrive has flagged a S.M.A.R.T alert : Yes Can we force it "Offline" and "Replace Member" - instead, of waiting until it fails completely? Thanks for any input. -SP
