Is it dead, Jim?

Steve,

Looks that way, but I like to see the PERC's TTY log to confirm. A
reseat may bring you joy, specifically on the capacity front.. if you
want to send the log to me I can check it out for you..

Regards,

Nick

I have an MD-1000 shelf with 15 300 GB SAS 10k drives. The last drive in

the array is a global hot spare (18 months old but never used for data),

is spinning, and shows a yellow light. omreport says:
