1716-Slot # Drive Array – Unrecoverable Media Errors Detected on Drives

Symptom

1716-Slot # Drive Array – Unrecoverable Media Errors Detected on Drives during previous Rebuild or Background Surface Analysis (ARM) scan. Errors will be fixed automatically when the sector(s) are overwritten. Backup and Restore recommended.

Cause

A media error is detected on a drive and cannot be corrected because of degraded fault tolerance or a media error at the same location on another drive in the same array. An unrecoverable read error is returned to the operating system when this block address is read.

Action
Back up and restore the data on the drive. Sequential write operations to the affected blocks should resolve the media errors.
