Physical Disk Is Offline Or Displays An Error Status
A physical disk may display an error status if it has been damaged, is offline, or was a member of a virtual
disk that has been deleted or initialized. The following actions may resolve the error condition:
• If a user has changed the status to Offline, then return the disk to Online status by performing the
Online disk task.
• Investigate whether there are any cables, enclosure, or controller problems preventing the disk from
communicating with the controller. If you find a problem and resolve it and disk does not return to
Online or Ready status, reboot the system.
• If the disk is damaged, replace it.

Replacing A Failed Disk
Receive A Bad Block Alert With Replacement, Sense, Or Medium Error
The following alerts or events are generated when a portion of a physical disk is damaged:
• 2146
• 2147
• 2148
• 2149
• 2150
This damage is discovered when the controller performs an operation that requires scanning the disk.
Examples of operations that may result in these alerts are as follows:
• Consistency check
• Rebuild
• Virtual disk format
• I/O
If you receive alerts 2146 through 2150 as the result of performing a rebuild or while the virtual disk is in a
degraded state, then data cannot be recovered from the damaged disk without restoring from the
backup. If you receive alerts 2146 through 2150 under circumstances other than a rebuild, then data
recovery may be possible. The following describes each of these situations.
