Disks are visible in failed disk list and spare list

Hi Guys,

Disks are visible in both failed and spare disk list even after a replacement due to the bug in current ontap version 8.1- 7mode. Since it's a bug if we do failover and failback will it cause any impact .

Any sugesstion please.

Thanks
Saran

Hello @saranraj456,

I would definitely open a support case and ask them to validate the behavior in this instance.

If the status of the faulty disk is not updated, the system may attempt to read data from the faulty disk during fault recovery, resulting in data loss or corruption. An incorrect disk state can cause a degradation in system performance, as the system may try to access disks that are no longer available, affecting overall system performance. An incorrect disk status causes system instability and increases the risk of system crash or downtime. If the system crashes or breaks down, services may be interrupted.
