I have a NetApp DS4243 shelf with a lot of hard drives and they all show up with blinky green lights but two drivers are having issues.
I use SATA to SAS backplane adapters, and when the drive is dead or disconnected, the adapters show up as devices of 0 bytes and with a throwaway serial number.
I've got two drives that show up as 0bytes, but I have no crew witch drives?
How can I find out what drives are bad?
Is it acceptable to hot-swap SAS backplane disks? The official manual says that the whole rack can be hot-swapped in an industry environment, but what about the individual drives, in the rack?
Thanks for reading!
