Verifying component failure
Before replacing a disk drive, use the following methods to verify component failure:
CAUTION: If HP P6000 Command View does not present a status consistent with the disk status indicators, or if HP P6000 Command View or your system monitoring tool indicates multiple hardware failures, contact HP support for assistance (http://www.hp.com/support).
•Analyze all failure messages received. Error messages identify each disk drive by its rack, enclosure, bay, and UUID (World Wide Name). Record this information to assist you in identifying the correct disk before replacing it.
The following is a sample of the disk identification information:
