F5 8900 11.6.0

Replace a hard drive, however the F5 does not detect it.

Hi Javiheat,

whats the output of the tmsh command:

-   tmsh show sys raid 
-   tmsh show sys raid disk

Furthemore check the kernel.log if you find messages wchis are related to a hardware issue i.e.:

ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x1 SErr 0x0 action 0x0 ata1.00: irq_stat 0x40000008 ata1.00: failed command: READ FPDMA QUEUED ata1.00: cmd 60/08:00:fb:d9:ed/00:00:03:00:00/40 tag 0 ncq 4096 in res 41/40:00:fb:d9:ed/00:00:03:00:00/40 Emask 0x409 (media error) 

-    run a "smartctl -a /dev/+hdd (i.e. sda/sdb)

At keast you can run a qkview and open a support case. There is a chance that backplane may go an issue and a HDD replacement not solving your problem and the unit needs to be replaced.

cheers, steigman
