AX100 and AX100i - If disk module 3 is not a component of a virtual disk, removing disk module 3 does not cause the storage-system fault light to be lit. Disk module 3 is one of the minimally specified set of disk modules for the AX100. Removing it removes a redundant copy of the FLARE Operating Environment (OE) software for SP B. Details Frequency: Every time. Prevention/resolution: There is no workaround for this problem; you should replace the faulted disk as soon as possible. Frequency: Every time disk module 3 is removed if no virtual disks have a component on disk module 3. Prevention/resolution: To prevent the issue, do not remove disk module 3. To resolve the issue, reinsert disk module 3. EMC AX100-Series Integrated Management Software Release Notes 21

Details
AX100 and AX100i -
Sniff verify does not work on a
hot spare disk.
Frequency
: Every time.
Prevention/resolution
: There is no workaround for this
problem; you should replace the faulted disk as soon as
possible.
AX100 and AX100i –
If disk module 3 is not a
component of a virtual disk, removing disk module 3
does not cause the storage-system fault light to be
lit. Disk module 3 is one of the minimally specified
set of disk modules for the AX100. Removing it
removes a redundant copy of the FLARE Operating
Environment (OE) software for SP B.
Frequency
: Every time
disk module 3 is removed if no
virtual disks have a component on disk module 3.
Prevention/resolution
: To prevent the issue, do not remove
disk module 3. To resolve the issue, reinsert disk module
3.
