We have a DL385 G2 crashed twice today, there isnt any obvious log indicating HW failure, but we found following messages a bit suspicious.

Any inputs would be much appreciated.

Well, it looks like You have to disks of same size behind same SmartArray controller.

Install Proliant Support Pack (PSP) to be sure of HW faults, You also get prefailure notifications before HW failure.
