The Clear Stale and Clear PFA functions only appear when those conditions exist on the physical drive. To clear
a Stale or PFA condition on a physical drive:
1. From the Main Menu, highlight Physical Drive Management and press Enter.
2. Highlight the physical drive you want and press Enter.
3. Highlight Clear Stale or Clear PFA and press Enter.
If a physical drive is still online and shows a PFA error but “Clear PFA” does not appear, use PDM to copy
the data to a new physical drive. See
“Running PDM on a Disk Array” on page 136.
IfaphysicaldriveisofineandshowsaPFAerror,rebuildthediskarray.See“RebuildingaDiskArray”on
page 135. After rebuilding, the drive shows Stale. Run Clear Stale then run Clear PFA.
If the physical drive with a PFA error is a spare, you must delete the drive as a spare, then Clear PFA is
available.
After you clear a PFA error, watch for another PFA error to appear. If it does, replace the physical drive.
