Figure 117. Detecting the Disk Failure

If NetFinity has been configured properly, it will generate an alert.

Figure 118 shows the NetFinity Alert Manager Log where such an alert has been generated.

Figure 118. Disk Failure - NetFinity Alert

In this example, two alerts were received. The first alert refers to the logical drive which was defined using the failed disk. This has been logged as a critical alert. The second alert relates to the physical drive which has failed. It shows up as a dead device on the alert.

This failure can also be checked from a workstation with NetFinity Manager installed using the RAID Service feature. This is shown in Figure 119 on page 156.
