Physical Drive Bad Sector Log
On occasion, an error can arise with the media on a physical drive. WebPAM
keeps track of bad sectors in order to inform you of the condition of individual
physical drives.
To access a physical drive’s bad sector log:
1. Click on the Physical Drive View icon in Tree View.
2. Click on the Physical Drive icon.
3. Click on the BSL tab in Management View.
If any bad sectors are found, they are listed here. WebPAM informs you by popup
and email messages when a bad sector error is logged (see page 38).
After 10 bad sectors have been discovered on a physical drive, WebPAM issues
a warning to replace the drive.
After 20 bad sectors have been discovered:
• On fault-tolerant (RAID 1 or 10) logical drives, the RAID controller will set
down the physical drive (take it offline) and the logical drive will go critical.
Replace the physical drive and rebuild your logical drive.
• On non-fault-tolerant (RAID 0) logical drives, the physical drive remains
online.
Backup your data, replace the physical drive, create a new logical drive and
copy your data to it.
See “Logical Drive Rebuild” on page 70 and “Logical Drive Critical / Offline” on
page 77.
See your system User Manual for more information about replacing a physical
drive.
