During PDM, the data on the suspect drive is transferred to the replacement drive while the

After PDM, the replacement drive becomes part of the disk array. The suspect drive become
unconfi gured and any PFA condition remains on it.

running PDM.
A PFA drive cannot be used until you clear the PFA condition. To clear the PFA conditon of a
physical drive, please refer to phydrv command. Note that the destination drive must be the
same media type, HDD or SSD, as the other physical drives in the disk array.
