Dear Sirs,

My rx8620 server had in its "mail log" that the root disk has failed though there is no amber light on any of the 2 disks in the derver.

The message is shown below:

">------------ Event Monitoring Service Event Notification ------------<

Notification Time: Fri Dec 16 15:32:20 2011

GHACCUET24OP01 sent Event Monitor notification information:

/storage/events/disks/default/3_0_0_2_0.6.0 is >= 3.

Its current value is CRITICAL(5).

Event data from monitor:

Event Time..........: Fri Dec 16 15:32:20 2011

Severity............: CRITICAL

Monitor.............: disk_em

Event #.............: 100237

System..............: GHACCUET24OP01.bog.gov.gh

Summary:

Disk at hardware path 3/0/0/2/0.6.0 : Media failure

Description of Error:

The device was unsuccessful in reading or writing data for the current I/O

request due to an error on the medium. The data could not be recovered.

Probable Cause / Recommended Action:

Reformatting the medium may fix the problem.

Alternatively, the medium in the device is flawed. If the medium is

removable, replace the medium with a fresh one.

Alternatively, if the medium is not removable, the device has experienced

a hardware failure. Contact your HP support representative to have the

device checked."

As i am speaking, physically the 2 disk are functioning perfectly with the green lights on both blinking.

So i want to know whether the disk is really bad.

Thank you.
