Hi,

I have a computer with no warranty, that needs to remove DC4 magazine, which has 3 disk in failure.
For which you initially use the servicemag command but this command did not end well, the servicemag unmark command was executed and the disk lost its pdid,

attached team information

Cage 0, magazine 8:
A servicemag start command failed on this magazine.
The command completed at Wed May 8 16:21:32 2019.
The output of the servicemag start was:

Please rectify any error conditions and issue "servicemag unmark" before retrying.

Hello Jpalma2001

You would need to vacate the remaining disk in the magazine manually before removing the magazine.

You may find the below threads helpful in removing the PD.
