Disks show up as 'Failing' in VEA
Created: 24 Sep 2012
Had a few backup errors over the weekend that were related to disk issues. Troubleshooting this lead to finding the disk appearing with the yellow exclamation mark which is a warning. The disk showd up in "failing" state.
Checked HP system logs
checked the MSA itself
checked OS logs
everything checked out green and not hardware issues.
SOLUTION:
Went into VEA, Right click on the failing disk > “reactivate disk”
Note: I did this to clear out the flag since there really were no hardware issues. The warning may have been because of a glitch in disk communication.
