Clearing a Stale or a PFA Condition
Stale – The physical drive contains obsolete disk array information.
PFA – The physical drive has errors resulting in a prediction of failure.

To clear a Stale or a PFA condition:
1. Click the Device tab.
2. Click the Physical Drive icon.
3. Mouse-over the physical drive you want and click the Clear PFA/Stale
button.
If the physical drive has both a Stale condition and a PFA condition, the first
click removes the Stale condition.
Click the Clear PFA/Stale button a second time to remove the PFA
condition.
