5.5.4.5 Set Disk To Be Failed
It sets a normal working disk as “failed” so users can test some of the features
and functions.
5.5.4.6 Activate Failed Disk
It forces the current “failed” disk in the system to be back online.“Activate
Failed Disk” function has no effect on the removed disks, because a “removed”
disk does not give the controller a chance to mark it as “failure”.
Followings are considered as “Removed-Disk”:
(1). Manually removed by user
(2). Lost PHY connection due to bad connector, cable, backplane
(3). Lost PHY connection due to disk fail
Basically, this function makes the controller sees the disk disappears suddenly
due to whatever reason.
