The Clear Stale and Clear PFA functions only appear when those conditions exist on the physical drive. To clear
a Stale or PFA condition on a physical drive:
1. From the Main Menu, highlight
Physical Drive Management
and press
Enter
.
2. Highlight the physical drive you want and press
Enter
.
3. Highlight
Clear Stale
or
Clear PFA
and press
Enter
.
If a physical drive is still online and shows a PFA error but “Clear PFA” does not appear, use PDM to copy
the data to a new physical drive. See “Running PDM on a Disk Array” on page 136.
If a physical drive is offline and shows a PFA error, rebuild the disk array. See “Rebuilding a Disk Array” on
page 135. After rebuilding, the drive shows Stale. Run
Clear Stale
then run
Clear PFA
.
If the physical drive with a PFA error is a spare, you must delete the drive as a spare, then
Clear PFA
is
available.
After you clear a PFA error, watch for another PFA error to appear. If it does, replace the physical drive.
