kern.log is 220M(!) full of errors about these two drives.

I created a self dispatch it was rejected twice the reason being that i didn't specify the type or disk (480 or 8T) or I did, so I had to call Dell to clarify this.

I am on the phone again with Dell now on this case, since 3-06-2023 no update on the case.

Dell create a new case

Work Order 439017270 has been submitted for 2 8tb hard drives parts only.

Your dispatch shipped on 3/13/2023 4:41 PM

@MatthewVernon hey i am about to go pickup the disk i need for you to ping me on dc-ops channel so we can coordinate the replacing of both disks. Thanks

...this may be a different disk that's failed, so maybe it just got unseated?

Physical Disk 0:2:19 Foreign 19 7451.5 GB SATA HDD No

@Papaul that's the one - can you clear the Foreign state from that disk, please? I can't figure out how to do it, and I think without that config being cleared it's not available to the OS.

[for avoidance of doubt, you can operate on this system at any time, including rebooting if necessary]

Thanks!
