OMSM : Patrol Read found an uncorrectable media error.: Physical Disk 1:0:7 Controller 0, Connector 1

It may be a punctured array.  If it is, a rebuild may be necessary.

Are there any further details in the OpenManage about the individual physical disks?

That thread shows the array was throwing a lot of errors in logs (not sure which logs?).

Per attached, array consistency check comes back clean...

Thoughts?

I'm not sure.  Having conflicting information from two supposedly reliable sources is not very comforting.

I would take this as an indication as a potential failure in hardware and perform a full backup at the very least.  Depending on the importance of the services running on the system would dictate if I would proceed to replace hardware preemptively or take the chance with possible failure.

The information I've found on RAID punctures has indicated that the only repair is to rebuild the array.  I'm not sure how to rule that out to avoid the labor if that isn't the situation.

I just can't make the leap from this simple "uncorrectable media error" to the super-serious punctured array diagnosis.  I haven't received any fresh errors since February thus the server has remained online as-is.

Any additional thoughts here?
