Hello everyone, I have a drive which is constantly putting out: 3w-9xxx: scsi0: AEN: ERROR (0x04:0x0009): Drive timeout detected:port=4, However the 3ware cli reports it as still a valid member of the array: //beautemps> info c0 Unit UnitType Status %Cmpl Stripe Size(GB) Cache AVerify IgnECC ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ u0 RAID-5 OK - 64K 2328.2 ON OFF OFF Port Status Unit Size Blocks Serial --------------------------------------------------------------- p0 OK u0 232.88 GB 488397168 WD-WMAEP28256 p1 OK u0 232.88 GB 488397168 WD-WMAEP28252 p2 OK u0 232.88 GB 488397168 WD-WMAEP27015 p3 OK u0 232.88 GB 488397168 WD-WMAEP28280 p4 OK u0 232.88 GB 488397168 WD-WMAEP28256 p5 OK u0 232.88 GB 488397168 WD-WMAEP28257 p6 OK u0 232.88 GB 488397168 WD-WMAEP28253 p7 OK u0 232.88 GB 488397168 WD-WMAEP28252 p8 OK u0 232.88 GB 488397168 WD-WMAEP28566 p9 OK u0 232.88 GB 488397168 WD-WMAEP25657 p10 OK u0 232.88 GB 488397168 WD-WMAEP28584 p11 OK - 232.88 GB 488397168 WD-WMAEP28250 Since I'm assuming that this constant drive timeout is what is making my array show to a crawl, I'd like to remove p4 from the array, have the hotswap on p11 take over, then replace p4. I'm thinking that: maint remove c0 p4 Is the command I'm looking for. Any caveats before I try?
