Troubleshooting

The desired physical disk is unavailable

Determine whether the physical disk:

• Is a dedicated hot spare and unavailable for use in another virtual disk.
• Is full or has insufficient available capacity.

The system already has a maximum of eight virtual disks

Delete unused virtual disks.

CAUTION:

Deleting a virtual disk destroys all data on the virtual disk.

Virtual Disk is in the Failed State

The virtual disk has lost one or more physical disks

Replace the failed physical disk(s) and restore the data from a backup storage

source.

A physical disk in the virtual disk has failed or has been removed

• Re-install the original physical disk if it was inadvertently removed.

Perform a rescan.

• Check the status of the physical disks in the virtual disk. Replace any failed

disk(s), if necessary. Restore the data from a backup storage source.

After any change, perform a rescan to verify if the disk is still in a Failed state.

The virtual disk has lost the maximum allowable physical disks per RAID level

One or more physical disks have failed.

• If the virtual disk is non-redundant, the failure of a single physical disk can

cause the virtual disk to fail.

• If the virtual disk is redundant, two or more physical disks have failed and

the virtual disk cannot be rebuilt.

Create a new virtual disk. Restore the data from a backup storage source.
