Automatic Data Recovery Failure

During Automatic Data Recovery, if the online LED of the replacement drive stops blinking and all other drives in the array are still online, the Automatic Data Recovery process may have abnormally terminated due to a non- correctable read error from another physical drive during the recovery process. The background Auto-Reliability Monitoring process helps prevent this problem, but it cannot do anything about certain issues, such as SCSI bus signal integrity problems. Reboot the system and a POST message should confirm the diagnosis. Retrying Automatic Data Recovery may help. If not, a backup of all data on the system, surface analysis (using User Diagnostics), and restore is recommended.

During Automatic Data Recovery, if the online LED of the replacement drive stops blinking and the replacement drive is failed (amber failure LED illuminated or other LEDs go out), the replacement drive is producing unrecoverable disk errors. In this case, the replacement drive should be removed and replaced.
