Smart error detected on a physical disk in a redundant virtual disk
Issue: A SMART error is detected on a physical disk in a redundant virtual disk.
Corrective
Action:
Perform the following steps:
1. Back up your data.
2. Force the physical disk offline.
NOTE: If a hot spare is present, the rebuild starts with the hot spare after the disk is forced
offline.
3. Replace the disk with a new physical disk of equal or higher capacity.
4. Perform the Replace Member operation.
NOTE: The Replace Member operation allows you to copy data from a source physical disk of a
virtual disk to a target physical disk that is not a part of the virtual disk. For more information
about the Replace Member feature, see the topic Configure hot spare drives on page 49.

Source disk fails during replace member operation
Issue:
The source disk fails during the Replace Member operation and the Replace Member operation stops
due to the source physical disk error.
Probable Cause: Physical disk failure or physical disk is removed or disconnected.
Corrective
Action:
No action required. If the virtual disk can tolerate disk failure, and the source data is available from other
disks in the virtual disk, the rebuild begins automatically on the target disk, using the data from the other
disks, if the virtual disk cannot tolerate the failure, the virtual disk goes to offline state and the replace
member operation is stopped.
