Disk failure on raid 5 array

[aravind_2]

If a disk in a raid 5 array fails , does it log any error in syslog file , If yes what is device name it mentions as i belive system recoginises lun's but not the individual disks.

Ex. a raid 5 lun with 9 disks in a model 30fc array.

The OS will not log anything in syslog but the disk array should log the disk failure with the indication the disk that has failed.

In model30, every slot in the array has its slot number, for example A1,A2,B1...
If disk drive failed, syslog would be like this.

Refer to users guide and you can see where A1,A2,B1... is located in the array.
