Re: RAID6 doesn't rebuild

Hey, CNB and Johan Guldmyr!

1. We've done a full backup of data on the array
2. I've changed the defective disk at the Bay 6
3. I've updated controller firmware (by Smart Update Firmware DVD 9.10C)
4. I've updated the firmware of all the disks (by Smart Update Firmware DVD 9.30)
5. I've cleaned controller configuration

But there are still S.M.A.R.T. errors!

Moreover, I've noticed that if I change the disk when the server is running (hot plugging), the new disk starts to show S.M.A.R.T. errors.
But if I shut down the server before changing an old scsi disk to a new sas disk, the new disk works fine and doesn't blink yellow.
Did I damage my new disks by hot plugging them?
Should I create RAID6 and not worry about these errors?

I'm attaching a new ADU report to my message.

I hope for your help, CNB and Johan Guldmyr.
Thank you in advance!

Maybe a reseat of all the disks will clear the condition.

Re: RAID6 doesn't rebuild

Hey, Johan Guldmyr and CNB!

I've used "Clear Configuration" at ACU in Smart Start, but 6 of 8 disks are still blinking yellow and show SMART errors.

How should I reset all disks to clean the condition?
