Disk read Error

[zenari]

Hi,

The cstm info command returns the following error log on my SCSI disk.
Please could you tell me wether the read and write errors are critical.

Hi,

Do you get any i/o errors from the disk anywhere other than cstm info?

You can use dd to verify the disk integrity

#dd if=/dev/rdsk/c1t5d0 of=/dev/null bs=1024k

The above command will read the entire disk and produce the output. It will give error if any bad sectors are there.

This may be an early indication of disk failure. It is always better to plan for a disk replacement before it becomes completely dead.

hello,
you may try below suggested by ganeshan before change the disk,

#dd if=/dev/rdsk/c1t5d0 of=/dev/null bs=1024k

apart from read error ,in terms of a write error I believe there is nothing so much except replace HDD.

Hi,

As Ganesan said run the below command
#dd if=/dev/rdsk/c1t5d0 of=/dev/null bs=1024k

What is the output of this command.
Did you see any errors ?
