The drive had failed from the Virtual Disk. If the controller and everything is out of date causing timeouts, then the drive may not have failed due to a hardware fault in itself, but instead may have been caused by a communication failure. If we update the server and then successfully rebuild the drive then we know the drive itself wasn't the issue.

Smerdyakov,

Normally the timeout is only seen when the raid controller is really far out of date. I would make sure to update the server, and controller, up to current to see if the error is resolved. 

FYI, if the BIOS and iDrac are several updates back then you will need to walk the updates up to current, or you can cause issues with the motherboard.

Let me know how it goes.

What are the current versions you have for BIOS, iDrac, as well as Raid Controller? I need to know because if it is really far back on BIOS and iDrac we will need to address it differently.

Let me know.

Thank you. 

Walk the BIOS up by going to 6.2.3

Then iDrac 1.9.7

The BIOS 6.4.0

Then iDrac 2.80

Then finish those with iDrac 2.90

After that then update the Raid controller with this update  6.3.3-0002

Let me know if these updates resolve the timeout issue.

Sure 

Also,  we have a disk failed error  before two weeks 

 DEVICE FAILED, PHYSICAL DISK 0:0:0 CONTROLLER 0, CONNECTOR 0 

by updating the devices will solve the failure issues or do we need to consider that our disk is failed?
