146 TroubleshootingSMART ErrorsTable 9-5 describes issues related to the Self-Monitoring Analysis andReporting Technology (SMART). SMART monitors the internal performanceof all motors, heads, and physical disk electronics and detects predictablephysical disk failures.NOTE: For information about where to find reports of SMART errors that couldindicate hardware failure, see the Dell OpenManage storage managementdocumentation at support.dell.com/manuals.Table 9-5. SMART ErrorsIssue Corrective ActionA SMART error isdetected on aphysical disk in aredundant virtualdisk.Perform the following steps:1 Back up your data.2 Force the physical disk offline.NOTE: If a hot spare is present, the rebuild starts with the hotspare after the disk is forced offline.3 Replace it with a new physical disk of equal or higher capacity.4 Perform the Replace Member operation.The Replace Member operation allows you to copy data froma source physical disk of a virtual disk to a target physical diskthat is not a part of the virtual disk. For more informationabout the Replace Member feature, see "Using ReplaceMember and Revertible Hot Spares" on page 35.A SMART error isdetected on aphysical disk in anon-redundantvirtual disk.Perform the following steps:1 Back up your data.2 Use Replace Member or set up a global hot spare to replacethe disk automatically.For more information about the Replace Member feature, see"Using Replace Member and Revertible Hot Spares" onpage 35.3 Replace the affected physical disk with a new physical disk ofequal or higher capacity.4 Restore from the backup.
