Dell UCPB-900 Unable to rebuild a fault tolerant virtual disk, Physical disk displayed as blocked

Unable to rebuild a fault tolerant virtual disk

Issue:	Cannot rebuild a fault tolerant virtual disk. For more information, see the alert log
	for virtual disks.
Corrective	The replacement disk is too small or not compatible with the virtual disk. Replace
Action:	the failed disk with a compatible good physical disk with equal or greater capacity.

Fatal error or data corruption reported

Issue:	Fatal error(s) or data corruption(s) are reported when accessing virtual disks.
Corrective	Contact Dell Technical Support.
Action:

Physical disk displayed as blocked

Issue:	One or more physical disks is displayed as Blocked and cannot be configured.
Corrective	Update the PERC cards to the latest firmware available on dell.com/support.
Action:

Multiple disks become inaccessible

Issue:	Rebuilding the physical disks after multiple disks become simultaneously
	inaccessible.
Corrective	Multiple physical disk errors in a single array typically indicate a failure in cabling or
Action:	connection and could involve the loss of data. You can recover the virtual disk after
	multiple physical disks become simultaneously inaccessible. Perform the following
	steps to recover the virtual disk:

CAUTION: Follow the safety precautions to prevent electrostatic discharge.

1.Turn off the system, check cable connections, and reseat physical disks.

2.Ensure that all the disks are present in the enclosure.

3.Turn on the system and enter the BIOS Configuration Utility (<Ctrl> <R>) utility.

4.Import the foreign configuration.

5.Press <F> at the prompt to import the configuration, or press <C> to enter the BIOS Configuration Utility (<Ctrl> <R>) and either import or clear the foreign configuration.

If the virtual disk is redundant and transitioned to Degraded state before going Offline, a rebuild operation starts automatically after the configuration is imported. If the virtual disk has gone directly to the Offline state due to a cable pull or power loss situation, the virtual disk is imported in its Optimal state without a rebuild occurring.

NOTE: You can use the BIOS Configuration Utility (<Ctrl> <R>) or Dell OpenManage storage management application to perform a manual rebuild of multiple physical disks. For information on rebuilding a single physical disk, see Performing A Manual Rebuild Of An Individual Physical Disk.
