You may observe one or more of the following alerts or event codes indicating disk issues: Event Codes: STORAGE-00001, STORAGE-00002, PHYM-00001Alert Messages: Enclosure disk has failed and should be replacedDisk has a hardware fault and may need to be replacedDisk is absent and should be replacedUnable to access the disk; disk state is powered offA disk has failed, and the enclosure slot has been disabled Affected Products: All Data Domain systemsAll Data Domain Operating System (DDOS) software releases
DDOS continuously monitors disk health and automatically fails a drive when critical I/O errors occur. Alerts are generated when a disk is: Removed (absent)Dead or failedPowered off (manually or automatically by DDOS to prevent backend issues)
Verify and confirm the failure: Verify the alerts on the system using DDMC, Data Domain System Manager (DDSM) Web UI, or DD-CLI (SSH). DD-CLI # alerts show currentDDSM > Alerts Identify and confirm the current state of all drives in the system. DD-CLI # disk show state | AND | # disk show hardwareDDSM > Hardware > Storage > Disks Single failed disks should be replaced immediately. Contact your support provider and raise a service request (SR) if an SR has not been raised automatically. If multiple disk drive alerts exist, contact your contracted support provider for assistance with the next steps.

Verify that the drive is in a SPARE state after replacement.
