Set drive to defunct: controller [number], <device location>
Explanation:
One of the following occurred:
- The user has removed or rearranged the specified physical drive.
- A controller might be configured with unattended mode. Changes to the RAID
configuration are accepted automatically in unattended mode.
- There was an error in communication between the physical drive and the controller.
Note: (Clustering
and failover environments only) If you move a logical drive to another
controller, these entries might be normal.
Action:
- Verify that there is power to external enclosures and connections.
- Verify that cables are properly seated.
- Check for damaged, bent, or pushed pins on the following:
- Termination (for non-backplane systems)
- Backplanes
- Physical drives
- Controller
If you cannot identify a connection problem, the replacement order for parts
is the following:
- Termination (for non-backplane systems)
- Cables
- Physical drives
- Backplanes
- Controller
Before replacing a physical drive or controller, verify that it is updated
with the latest firmware (microcode) and that they still fail.
Note: If multiple
physical drives are marked defunct within the same time period, check the cables
and backplanes.
