Failed disk - Dell EqualLogic PS400E Storage array - 039

I have this Dell EqualLogic PS400E Storage array, and today I discover that I had lost a disc. My disk array consists of 14 pcs 750GB disks, that are set up in a raid 6 with two hot spars.

It is an iscsi SAN that I use on my VMware rendering farm.

Your message settings are such that I can not answer you in your thread.
As far as I know,  the old firmware was limited, so you could not use any disc.
I use on my Equallogic PS100/400 and it accepts everything I throw at it.
My guess is that you need to update your PS4000
Thank you for watching! :-)

Awesome video. Just picked up on of those for a good price but I don't have the software to discover and set it up. I'd there anywhere I can download or buy the software?

If it's using the spare, how can you tell? It still shows as spare on your screen and as offline. Plus if you bring up statistics on the spare it shows no activity (in my case).

If you dont mind my asking, what do you use all of that storage and server power for at your house?

On my PS4100 the disk I added shows Disk Status: Not Approved. why?

Hello Morten,
                      For the 2TB SATA disks, what brand & model are you using? Did you need to update the array firmware in order for the larger drives to work?
Thanks in advance.

Ive got a ps400e with 2.3.5 :( would you happen to have a few updates that would get me up to 6.0?

is it not necessary a Dell disk, due the Dell firmware?
