Hard Drive failures

 

 

Recently we have had issues with Hard drive failures on a few 6900 devices. I was just curious if anyone else is experiencing similar issues and what you were doing to monitor and alert for those failures.

 

 

 

I am able to pick up some of the errors in syslog but am not sure if all of the errors are hitting my syslog.

 

 

 

Thanks

    Team,

     

     

    I have received the below Syslog on one of my 6900 Box which is running BIGIP-10.2.1.297.0.iso.

     

     

     

    Syslog:

     

    =======

     

    local/bigip1 alert kernel: raid1: Disk failure on dm-36, disabling device.

     

    =======

     

    Now the RAID Status is showing us Degraded. Could someone help me in explaining the criticality of this log and the Remedy for the same.

     

     

     

    Thanks in advance.

    I'm in the same boat. All my 6900's are just past 3 years old and they are all dying. I've had 3 complete units replaced so far. Many hard drives
