Answer

Drawer loss protection guarantees accessibility to the data on the volumes in a pool or volume group if a total loss of communication occurs with a single drawer. An example of total loss of communication might be loss of power to the drawer or failure of an internal component within the drawer.

Pull out one drawer, to check if disk pool is normal for accessing. If disk pool is normal for accessing, it proofs drawer loss protection works.
