recorded if action is planned to commission the Global affinity Hot Spare in a different

enclosure.

active process, or are in an excluded VD

Suggested actions

unexpectedly in the past.

2) Update the RAID controller firmware to latest version.

drive is installed and connected correctly.

4) If problem still exists, get the RAID log; contact Intel technical support for help.

5) Fix the problem and then rebuild the array as soon as possible.

6) Install a correct RAID key to re-enable the needed RAID level.
