0019 Drive removed
Event Type
Warning
Cause
A drive was physically removed from the controller while the controller was
powered on.
Action
If the drive is not part of a redundant unit, return the drive as soon as possible.
You may need to rescan the controller to have the drive recognized. If at all
possible, do not remove a drive from a non-redundant unit as this may cause
data loss or a system hang.
001A Drive inserted
Event Type
Information
Cause
A drive was connected to the controller while the controller was powered on.
Action
The drive is now available for use. If the drive is part of a unit add the
remaining drives and rescan the controller, in 3DM or CLI, to bring the unit
online.
001E Unit inoperable
Event Type
Error
Cause
The 3ware RAID controller is unable to detect sufficient drives for the unit to
be operable. Some drives have failed or are missing.
Examples of inoperable units are as follows:
• RAID 0 missing any drives.
• A RAID 5 or 50 unit with two or more drives missing from the same
RAID 5 unit or subunits.
