Web displays storage degraded but not which drive

[robwaybro]

Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d - ver 2.1.46.30093

The web portal indicates the storage is degraded "The Iomega StorCenter device is degraded and data protection is at risk" but when following the links/path, the drives all look fine (see attachment).

When I look at:

Code: Select all

mdadm --examine /dev/sdd1

I get:

/dev/sdd1:

What is the "faulty removed' and how can I correct it as this seems to be a problem, and maybe the problem.

Thanks in advance.

I am guessing here. I don't see /dev/sda1

would it be the first drive?

If you click on storage->drive management

You should see a picture of all the drives. Does it indicate which is faulty?

[robwaybro]

Thank you. I agree that sda1 is not shown but I am trying to determine which physical drive is defective.

I thought the picture that I attached to the initial query was the drive management you are indicating and as you can see it displays all drives in an operational status. Even when I hover over the drive the context popup also says "Disk is operating normally".

I will include the screen shot again, just in case it didn't come through right the first time.

sda is disk 1.

Shut it down and pull disk one and reboot and you should get the same results.

There is a dependency with Seagate disk drive firmware and the NAS firmware and I'm guessing that the WD replacements don't quite mesh. I know my Toshiba drives suffer from the lack of certain firmware support.

You can use hdparm to look at each drive.

hdparm -I /dev/sda

Thanks for the confirmation Doug, I appreciate it.

I just replaced drive 1 and the reconstruction is in progress.
