MD3200 Hot Spare Missing

Hello Mark,

Based on the screen shots that you have provided you are not showing as having any hot spare drives.  The best way to confirm this is to look at a support bundle to confirm that all drives are currently part of a disk group & virtual disk.    

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Hi Sam,

Thanks for responding, can you help me with why the slot 9 drive has a caution?  Is there anyway I can get to a happy green status on the storage unit?

Thanks

Mark

Hello Mark,

I sent you a private message so that you can send me your support bundle so that I can review it.  By looking at your support bundle I can see what is going on with disk in slot 9.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Thanks Sam, I did look but didn't see a private message?

Thanks

Mark

Hello Mark,

I sent you an email.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Hello Mark,

Thanks for the support bundle.  The drive in slot9 is in use and is not a hot spare drive.  At one time it looks to have been a hot spare drive, but it is no longer as it is assigned to your Tier2 disk group and in use.  What you can do is to either get an expansion enclosure or get lager drives to add more space to your MD3200.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.
