H355 JBOD Target ID 0 Missing After PD Replacement

Certain Dell qualified Seagate Exos X24 SAS drives have undergone a hardware revision. As a result, replacement drives may ship with firmware revisions ending in A (SWSA, SYSA, or SUSA), while existing drives may be running firmware revisions ending in 9 (SWS9, SYS9, or SUS9). This behavior is expected and supported. The firmware difference reflects a hardware revision and does not indicate a problem with the drive, a firmware mismatch, or a requirement to update existing drives. Key Point: Customers do not need to update existing SxS9 drives to SxSA firmware. SxS9 firmware remains the correct firmware family for original hardware revisions.

A Kioxia PM5 (previously seen as a Toshiba PM5) series SAS drive running firmware B020 or B31C may not be detected by the storage controller on reboot of a host.

Hardware Diagnostics are embedded tools installed in the pre-OPERATING SYSTEM of your server to check hardware is working as designed.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Physical Drives replacement in RAID Server and MD Arrays

Toshiba AL15SE HDDs may enter a Drive Not Ready (DNR) state and report repeated seek retries associated with sense codes 04-4C-91, 04-4C-95, 04-4C-E0, or 04-44-82.

PowerEdge 15G, 16G, and 17G Servers Do not upgrade to Nuvoton NPCT7xx TPM firmware version 7.2.4.0 without first reviewing your TPM key usage. Firmware version 7.2.4.0 introduces a change to the ECC key derivation process that renders externally stored ECC child keys created on version 7.2.3.1 or earlier unusable. Environments that rely on these keys must unbind and re-provision them before performing the firmware update, or key access may be permanently lost. RSA keys are not affected. Due to the risk of ECC key incompatibility, the TPM firmware DUP packages have been removed from the platform catalog to prevent unintended upgrades. Administrators should complete any required ECC key remediation before updating TPM firmware.

This article explains what a predictive drive failure (error code PDR16) means, why it occurs, and provides step-by-step instructions to troubleshoot and resolve the issue. It covers recommended actions such as backing up data, updating firmware, and replacing the disk if necessary to ensure storage health and prevent data loss.

Dell OpenManage Enterprise (OME) uses a multi-step process to discover and onboard servers through iDRAC. The discovery process begins with a basic network reachability check (ICMP ping) followed by protocol-level communication (Redfish or WS-Man). If any step in this chain fails, the discovery will not succeed.
