HDD means Hard disk. Check the enclosure for amber light. Also you can see from the management software.

Hi,
The disk is still operational but is running in a "degraded" state as it is only accessible on one of the two loops. I usually ungroup the disk and ask HP to send a new one. Leave the "faulty" one in place until the new one arrives & then swap them over. Go back into command view and add the new disk back into the appropriate disk group & leave to level.

HTH
