b. In the system image on the resources page, click the node with the faulty drive. The node will
have an alert icon, and the node status page will appear.
c. Scroll down the page to the components lists and click the tab for HDDs or SSDs depending on
which type of drive has failed.
d. Look through the list of drives and locate the faulty drive. The status column for the drive will
read Degraded , Decommissioning , or Decommissioned .
Note: For more information about drive states, refer to the UniverStor OS
Administrator Guide.
• If the status is Degraded , the drive has displayed problematic behavior and will undergo
automatic repair. If the problematic behavior continues, the drive will be decommissioned.
