Replacing Drive - Member disk pulldown empty

[jbrooksga]

FreeNAS-11.2-RELEASE-U1

I have a drive reporting sector issues so being proactive with replacement. This is the procedure followed so far:

• Took existing disk offline
• Shutdown system
• Removed old disk
• Installed replacement disk
• Start system
• Choose replace, but no values exist to choose from (image attached)

The results of the zpool command seem to indicate that the system does see the new disk in offline state.

root@freenas[~]# zpool status -v

pool: Pool

state: DEGRADED

status: One or more devices has been taken offline by the administrator.

Sufficient replicas exist for the pool to continue functioning in a

degraded state.

action: Online the device using 'zpool online' or replace the device with

'zpool replace'.

zpool status will not know anything about any disk not part of a pool, so it doesn't know anything about your new disk.

Does

Code:

camcontrol devlist

show your new disk? If yes, then try the replacement procedure with the LEGACY interface; if that works, we have a bug to report. If no, then the problem is with the disk, or its data/power connectors.

 

[jbrooksga]

Disk is not appearing in the devlist. Quite likely I have been sent a bad disk.

 

[DrKK]

Indeed sir. If camcontrol does not detect the disk, then the only possible reasons are you connected the cables wrong, or you have a hardware failure.

 

[jbrooksga]

Disk was supposedly tested before I received it. In any event I have another on the way.

 

[jbrooksga]

Attempted the replacement with another disk, worked fine this time.

 

[DrKK]

Very good sir. Glad the problem was diagnosed quickly.
