Warning: found virtual disks that are failed – Dell PowerEdge RAID Controller S110 User Manual
Page 44

To investigate the cause, check for the following:
• Whether a physical disk in the virtual disk has failed or has gone offline.
Check the status at the
Physical Disks field. A Degraded status depends
on the RAID level of the virtual disk and the number of physical disks that
have failed:
–
For a virtual disk at RAID 1 or RAID 5, a single physical disk failure
causes a
Degraded status.
–
For a virtual disk at RAID 10, the failure of a physical disk in each of
the mirror sets creates a
Degraded status for the RAID 10. The failure
of two physical disks in the same mirror set creates a
Failed status for
the RAID 10.
• Whether the controller has failed, due to a firmware failure or a
component failure. A failed controller causes a virtual disk not to boot.
For the virtual disk to recover from Degraded status, the failed physical disk
must be replaced and the virtual disk must be rebuilt, using Dell
OpenManage Server Administrator Storage Management. When the rebuild
operation is completed, the virtual disk status changes from Degraded to
Ready. For a description of the rebuild function, see Storage Management,
located on the Dell Support website at dell.com/support/manuals.
