I will try show disks and show disk tomorrow but are you aware how to determine which disks are assigned to the RAID group? This will just be helpful as currently the vdisk comprises of 11 disks so have to assume that 1 disk was assigned as a spare and is now in use because of the failed disk. Also I cant look at the event log to prove this as it says "no data for your selection". Cheers ... View more
