Disk Drive Leftover

Table 7 Hard disk drive leftover scenarios
Symptom
A disk drive is marked as LEFTOVR
A disk drive in a redundant Vdisk or
disk group (in this scenario, other
than RAID 6) fails and is marked as
LEFTOVR and the Vdisk or disk
group status is CRIT
A disk drive in a RAID 6 Vdisk or disk
group (with 1 spare) fails and is
marked as LEFTOVR.
NOTE: In cases where two/multiple
spares are available and a drive fails,
the drive is marked as LEFTOVR and
the Vdisk or disk group is FTDN. A
spare is invoked and reconstruction
begins. If another member of the
same Vdisk or disk group fails before
the reconstruction completes, the
spare for the second failed drive is
not invoked despite available multiple
spares. Once the status of the Vdisk
or disk group changes to FTDN,
another spare is invoked for this
Vdisk or disk group and
reconstruction begins.

Cause
Due to MEDIUM/SMART/PROTOCOL/
I/O TIMEOUT errors.
A spare disk is used and
reconstruction begins. Before the
reconstruction completes, if another
disk drive from the same Vdisk or disk
group (same sub-Vdisk or subgroup
in RAID 10 or RAID 50) fails, the
status of the second failed disk drive
along with the spare disk is marked
as LEFTOVR. The Vdisk or disk
group is OFFL or QTOF (quarantined
offline).
Vdisk or disk group status is FTDN,
a spare is invoked, and reconstruction
begins. Before the reconstruction
completes, if another member of the
same Vdisk or disk group fails, its
status is marked as LEFTOVR and
the Vdisk or disk group status is
CRIT. The reconstruction for the first
failed drive does not stop but
continues to completion. Once the
reconstruction completes, the status
of the Vdisk or disk group is back to
FTDN.
Description
The drive is used in a Vdisk or disk
group.
The drive is a spare assigned to a
Vdisk or disk group.
Action Required
Check if any Vdisks or disk groups are
OFFL; if disks are offline, see
the Trust Command" (page
Vdisks or disk groups are online,
consider replacing the disk drive as an
option to resolve the issue.
Attempt to dequarantine the Vdisk or
disk group by reseating the last failed
drives. If unable to dequarantine the
Vdisk or disk group, see"Using the
Trust Command" (page 26).
Consider replacing the drives if the
drives failed due to hardware issues.
If the Vdisk or disk group go QTOF
after the failure of a third Vdisk or disk
group member and before the
reconstruction completes, attempt to
dequarantine the Vdisk or disk group
by reseating the last failed drives. If
unable to dequarantine the Vdisk or
disk group, consider "Using the Trust
Command" (page 26).
