Failed drives out, now what?

kmagitz1234 — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:18:40 GMT

Noticed two failed drives, so went into the NetApp GUI and "removed" them, which errored out, then physically removed the failed drives. Now all the spare drives have changed names and the spares are in different locations in the appliance. There are twelve spare drives, nine of which are the correct model to replace the failed disks. The system seems ok. The syslog said the failed drives should be removed, so I think pulling them out was the right thing to do. I'm just unsure how to proceed from here. Here are the logs from when I removed the drives...system complaining about the drives at 8AM. I removed the failed drives at 10:25AM.

This is how the failed drives were showing before removal:

You're saying that you don't have a support contract, so you can't call NetApp Tech Support?

Do you have access to the NetApp Support Site with a login ID? Our knowledgebase and documentation would be able to provide guidance.

In any case, you picked the wrong community forum, unfortunately. I'd recommend you repost your message to this forum, instead.
