Chapter 11. Troubleshooting 00Eh Initialize failed The 3ware RAID controller was unable to complete the initialization. This error can be caused by unrecoverable drive errors. When this error occurs, the unit will go back to degraded mode if possible. 00Fh SMART threshold exceeded The 3ware RAID controller supports SMART Monitoring, whereby the individual drives automatically monitor certain parametric information such as error rates and retry counts. By monitoring this data, SMART may be able to predict a drive failure before it happens, allowing a user to schedule service of the array before it becomes degraded. The SMART status of each drive attached to the 3ware RAID controller is monitored daily. If a failure of any drive is determined to be likely, the user is notified by this AEN. 3ware recommends that you replace any drive that has the SMART attribute exceeded. 019h Drive removed Drive removed. This AEN is posted whenever a drive is removed from the controller while the controller is powered on. 01Ah Drive inserted Drive inserted. This AEN is posted whenever a drive is connected to the controller while the controller is powered on. 01Eh Unit inoperable Unit inoperable. Drive removal caused unit to become inoperable. This AEN is sent after offline unit timer expires; if the unit becomes operational before the timer expires (20 seconds) there will be no AEN since there were no IO errors. 01Fh Unit Operational Unit operational. Drive insertion caused the unit to become operational again. This AEN is sent only after the offline timer expires (20 seconds). 230 3ware Serial ATA RAID Controller User Guide
