I suppose very related to T103005.

db1002 (may be decommissioned) also just got a disk failure.

Noting it only because I think it is one more of the "old disks" that may not be worth replacing. Also to check model reliability (there should be no disk load there).

So the plan is, for critical databases with immediate needs, use replacements parts coming from decommissioning db1002 to db1007, maybe db1035 too.

The long term plan is to replace older >3 year servers with low memory, as not only disks or memories are failing: chassis, like db1035, too. Not only hardware is degrading, requirements, like s3 have grow. Consolidate with less, faster servers which increases rack space, and makes easier life bot at datacenter and DBA side.

@RobH, not sure what are the conditions to resolve this ticket. I would not buy new SAS disks for Core production servers except on very specific cases (none at this time) as we should upgrade the servers that need them instead. db1050 (which I think originated the RT ticket) could be fixed this way and always counting with onsite operator's Ok.
