Re: nimble Event explanation
@Mahesh202 hello
I want to know if this refers to a hot spare disk, which means that when a hard drive fails, it automatically replaces the faulty disk. Can you understand it this way?

Re: nimble Event explanation
Hi cc16
As I said in the previous message, "I request you to share the complete alert with the description".
It would help me find the exact definition you need based on the alert you received.
I don't see any description other than "Disk marked as spare" or "Disk %s is marked as spare" for the Nimble 'event 12406
with the below link: https://infosight.hpe.com/InfoSight/media/cms/active/public/pubs_NimbleOS_5.0.x_Help.whz/axc1501525262696.html

SolutionHi cc16
Thanks for sharing the alarm information with me. Based on the screenshot, it appears that the disk drive has been re-added. Ideally, the disk drive should remain in use and appear in the alarm information as "In Use
May I request you to share the output for the command "disk --list" to understand and help you with it?
Regards
Mahesh.

Re: nimble Event explanation
Hi cc16
I would suggest that you try removing the disk and re-inserting it. If you can't get it to work, then it is recommended that you replace the hard drive.

Re: nimble Event explanation
Hi
In order to remove it, we will need to run the following command
The disk must be removed first before it can be added, you can do this by running the following commands
- disk --remove <slot> --array <Array name> --shelf_location <shelflocation>
Use the following command to add the disk to your computer: - disk --add <slot> --array <Array name> --shelf_location <shelflocation>
If this does not resolve your problem, I recommend you raise a support ticket with HPE Nimble Tech support.
Hope this helps.!!

I wanted to follow up on the troubleshooting steps we discussed regarding the disk drive issue.
Have you had a chance to remove and re-insert the drive?
Please let me know if this step helped resolve the problem or if you're still experiencing any issues.?
