Multiple HD crashes.. why?
We got 3 ultra scsi 18gb hotswap HD running in a Proliant DL580 and over the last 2 days, 5 times we had to replace one of them. It wasnt the same slot everytime. What could possibly be the cause of these HD failures.
P.S. This thread has been moved from Disk to ProLiant Servers (ML,DL,SL). - Hp forum Moderator

Re: Multiple HD crashes.. why?
Environment : is the aircon sufficient in the room where the server is? What temperature is the room running at?
Power : Possible power spikes. Is the server on a UPS, which will smooth out power surges.
Other : Do cleaners go in your server room? Could have a clumsy cleaner either knocking the server, or even (don't laught we've had this) unplugging the server to plug the vacuum cleaner in!

Re: Multiple HD crashes.. why?
Were you getting read/write failures on them?
Were these configured as part of a RAID, and informed by the RAID s/w or h/w that a particular drive had failed?
Having a UPS will definitely make things more stable.
Making sure that your DL580's fans are all working, and the environment is adequately cool will also help.
Making sure that the system is not subject to excessive shock or vibration will also help to reduce drive problems.

Re: Multiple HD crashes.. why?
if something from one firve is not working well, the disk is put off line.
So as you have multiple off-line on several disk, the cable, teminator or eventualy if there is, the Hot swapp cage can cause this behaviour
