“Basic Troubleshooting: Check This First” on page 219
000A Drive error detected
Event Type
Error
Cause
A drive has returned an error to the 3ware RAID controller that it is unable to
complete a command. The error type is not a time-out (000A) or uncorrected
ECC (0026).
This message may be seen as part of a recovery operation initiated by the
3ware RAID controller on the drive. One possible cause is multiple write
commands to a sector forcing the drive to remap a defective sector. This
message may be seen if error recovery operations initiated by the 3ware
RAID controller are unsuccessful.
Action
If you see this message, the drive repairs may lie outside of the 3ware RAID
controller’s abilities.Try running the drive manufacturer’s diagnostic and
repair utilities on the drive.
If necessary, replace the drive.

Information
Cause

or may have started after drive removal or insertion (due to the Auto Rebuild
policy).
