Problems Associated With Using The Same Physical Disks For
Both Redundant And Non-Redundant Virtual Disks
When creating virtual disks, you should avoid using the same physical disks for both redundant and nonredundant virtual disks. This applies
to all controllers. Using the same physical disks for both redundant and nonredundant virtual disks can result in unexpected behavior
including data loss.
NOTE: SAS controllers do not allow you to create redundant and nonredundant virtual disks on the same set of physical disks.

Physical Disk Is Oine Or Displays An Error Status
A physical disk may display an error status if it has been damaged, is oine, 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 Oine, 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 nd 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.
