Hi,

Today morning i got an error event logged through insight manager, when i had a closer look it said that the Drive1 on Port2 of the Storage Works was dead.. but surprisingly in the next 5 hours the disk seemed to came back to life and the status appeared as OK.. can anyone explain this..

Using Insight Manager, drill down on the drive and look at the error statistics.

It could be a contact problem with the drive, so reseating would work.
