Disk folder requires 1 additional disk
Hello, can anybody help me, what should I do to resolve this alert :
DiskFolderClass 4 2 Disk Folder Production_512K requires 1 additional disks of class 10K to satisfy internal sparing requirements Alert Degraded No SpareHunger Disk
This tier is almost free, no raid rebuilds needed, redundancy is dual, no alerts if it has insufficent disks to support parity raid, but.. Warning is active, I want to understand - why?...
thanks.

Hi, I wonder if it might be possible that the warning is valid and you might need an additional 10K disk to meet your backup needs. I would try the following to see if it solves it. But frankly, let's see how the community contributes

adding my 2 cents. sounds like it does just need another disk added like what Dell-Ermno said. For example i have a sc4020 that needed 6 drives. 4 were in raid with 1 being parity and then it needed one more as a managed spare.

thanks for your answers.
I understand, that it wants new disk but I can't understand - why?
couple years ago we had active optimize contract with dell and our manager told me that SC can lose many disks. the most important thing is to have enough free space for rebuild and to support selected redundancy. but actually after 1 disk is lost and removed from service I see warning.. so where is the truth and what should I do? just mark warning as anknowleged?
