Drive Test
Failures
When the Built-In Self-Test (BIST) described previously has finished, a
firmware-based drive test is executed that tests the integrity and functionality
of each drive channel, including the capacity to rebuild and generate parity.
firmware-based drive test is executed that tests the integrity and functionality
of each drive channel, including the capacity to rebuild and generate parity.
If a drive fails when tested, the drive is first shown on the display as
6 (spinning
up); other drives that pass the drive test are shown as
* (good). In the following
example, drive 3 is shown failing the drive test.
When the drive test times out, drives that pass the drive test are shown as
5 and
the failed drive is shown as

performed as soon as possible. See disk replacement and rebuild
