Hi everyone,
Need some help on my issue below.
We have PowerVault MD3200 and MD1200 as extension. Disk used is Seagate 600GB SAS.
Earlier, there was unreadable sector error on the system. From log, it shows physical disk 1,3 was a culprit. I had marked this disk as failed and use option Replace in MDSM to replace this disk with our unassigned disk at 1,11. Now Recover Guru does not report any unreadable sector.
But, the virtual disk still shows as degraded although reconstruction already finished after some 1 hour +. Then, we hit another issue when physical disk at 1,3 was failed and our virtual disk goes to failed state. The problem is when failed disk happen, our spare disk does not take over. I try to manually fail the disk after revive it back but spare disk still silent.
Basically, we hit two problems here and I would like to know what action can I take in order to resolve this issue
1. Virtual disk goes to degraded state after reconstruction finish before another failed disk happen. How to ensure virtual disk goes to optimal state?
2. Failed disk happen and spare disk does not take over, resulting in my virtual disk goes to failed state.
Thank you
