Diagnosing an impending drive failure on E-Series platforms

    NOTE: Only perform this action when instructed by NetApp Technical Support.
    1. In SANtricity System Manager, navigate to the Hardware tab. 
    2. Select the drive in question, then select Cancel Fail.
    3. Manually fail the drive with Copy contents of drive before failing unselected.
  • If multiple drives are going into impending failure, do not fail and replace them all at the same time. The failures may be firmware-related.
