Instructions

Dell VxRail event code: VXR508PDR16

This event code indicates: "Predictive failure reported for <physical disk>."
Predictive failures can come from Self-Monitoring and Reporting Technology messages (SMART), from the storage drive.
These can indicate that a Hard Disk Drive (HDD) is running out of reserved space to remap bad blocks.
This event can also indicate that a solid state drive (SSD) is close to the maximum write endurance.

If you need further assistance troubleshooting the issues above, please contact Dell EMC Technical Support or your Authorized Service Representative, and quote this knowledge base article:
The drive in question should be replaced before failure occurs.
When remote connectivity is enabled, this event creates a Service Request automatically.
