Hi, I recently noticed that there are a lot of Hard Errors on multiple drives that's being reported by iostat. Also, dmesg reports various messages from the mpt driver.
My config is: MB: SUPERMICRO X8SIL-F HBA: AOC-USAS-L8i (LSI 1068) RAM: 4GB ECC SunOS SAN 5.11 snv_134 i86pc i386 i86pc Solaris My configuration is a striped mirrored vdev of 13 drives (one mirror had an error on a drive, which I cleared. But just to be safe I added another drive to the mirror): NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM zpool ONLINE 0 0 0 mirror-0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c4t13d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c4t19d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 mirror-1 ONLINE 0 0 0 c4t25d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c4t31d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 mirror-2 ONLINE 0 0 0 c4t12d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c4t18d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 mirror-3 ONLINE 0 0 0 c4t24d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c4t30d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 mirror-4 ONLINE 0 0 0 c4t11d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c4t17d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c4t10d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 mirror-5 ONLINE 0 0 0 c4t23d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c4t29d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 Here's the output from iostat -En: c6d1 Soft Errors: 0 Hard Errors: 0 Transport Errors: 0 Model: WDC WD3200BEKT- Revision: Serial No: WD-WXR1A30 Size: 320.07GB <320070352896 bytes> Media Error: 0 Device Not Ready: 0 No Device: 0 Recoverable: 0 Illegal Request: 0 c7d1 Soft Errors: 0 Hard Errors: 0 Transport Errors: 0 Model: WDC WD3200BEKT- Revision: Serial No: WD-WXR1A30 Size: 320.07GB <320070352896 bytes> Media Error: 0 Device Not Ready: 0 No Device: 0 Recoverable: 0 Illegal Request: 0 c4t12d0 Soft Errors: 0 Hard Errors: 252 Transport Errors: 0 Vendor: ATA Product: SAMSUNG HD203WI Revision: 0003 Serial No: Size: 2000.40GB <2000398934016 bytes> Media Error: 0 Device Not Ready: 0 No Device: 0 Recoverable: 0 Illegal Request: 0 Predictive Failure Analysis: 0 c4t13d0 Soft Errors: 0 Hard Errors: 252 Transport Errors: 0 Vendor: ATA Product: SAMSUNG HD203WI Revision: 0002 Serial No: Size: 2000.40GB <2000398934016 bytes> Media Error: 0 Device Not Ready: 0 No Device: 0 Recoverable: 0 Illegal Request: 0 Predictive Failure Analysis: 0 c4t18d0 Soft Errors: 0 Hard Errors: 252 Transport Errors: 0 Vendor: ATA Product: SAMSUNG HD203WI Revision: 0003 Serial No: Size: 2000.40GB <2000398934016 bytes> Media Error: 0 Device Not Ready: 0 No Device: 0 Recoverable: 0 Illegal Request: 0 Predictive Failure Analysis: 0 c4t19d0 Soft Errors: 0 Hard Errors: 0 Transport Errors: 0 Vendor: ATA Product: SAMSUNG HD203WI Revision: 0002 Serial No: Size: 2000.40GB <2000398934016 bytes> Media Error: 0 Device Not Ready: 0 No Device: 0 Recoverable: 0 Illegal Request: 0 Predictive Failure Analysis: 0 c4t24d0 Soft Errors: 0 Hard Errors: 252 Transport Errors: 0 Vendor: ATA Product: SAMSUNG HD203WI Revision: 0003 Serial No: Size: 2000.40GB <2000398934016 bytes> Media Error: 0 Device Not Ready: 0 No Device: 0 Recoverable: 0 Illegal Request: 0 Predictive Failure Analysis: 0 c4t25d0 Soft Errors: 0 Hard Errors: 252 Transport Errors: 0 Vendor: ATA Product: SAMSUNG HD203WI Revision: 0002 Serial No: Size: 2000.40GB <2000398934016 bytes> Media Error: 0 Device Not Ready: 0 No Device: 0 Recoverable: 0 Illegal Request: 0 Predictive Failure Analysis: 0 c4t30d0 Soft Errors: 0 Hard Errors: 252 Transport Errors: 0 Vendor: ATA Product: SAMSUNG HD203WI Revision: 0003 Serial No: Size: 2000.40GB <2000398934016 bytes> Media Error: 0 Device Not Ready: 0 No Device: 0 Recoverable: 0 Illegal Request: 0 Predictive Failure Analysis: 0 c4t31d0 Soft Errors: 0 Hard Errors: 252 Transport Errors: 0 Vendor: ATA Product: SAMSUNG HD203WI Revision: 0002 Serial No: Size: 2000.40GB <2000398934016 bytes> Media Error: 0 Device Not Ready: 0 No Device: 0 Recoverable: 0 Illegal Request: 0 Predictive Failure Analysis: 0 c4t17d0 Soft Errors: 0 Hard Errors: 0 Transport Errors: 0 Vendor: ATA Product: WDC WD20EADS-32S Revision: 0A01 Serial No: Size: 2000.40GB <2000398934016 bytes> Media Error: 0 Device Not Ready: 0 No Device: 0 Recoverable: 0 Illegal Request: 0 Predictive Failure Analysis: 0 c4t11d0 Soft Errors: 0 Hard Errors: 17 Transport Errors: 116 Vendor: ATA Product: WDC WD20EADS-32S Revision: 5G04 Serial No: Size: 2000.40GB <2000398934016 bytes> Media Error: 0 Device Not Ready: 0 No Device: 17 Recoverable: 0 Illegal Request: 0 Predictive Failure Analysis: 0 c4t23d0 Soft Errors: 0 Hard Errors: 0 Transport Errors: 0 Vendor: ATA Product: ST31500341AS Revision: CC1H Serial No: Size: 1500.30GB <1500301910016 bytes> Media Error: 0 Device Not Ready: 0 No Device: 0 Recoverable: 0 Illegal Request: 0 Predictive Failure Analysis: 0 c4t29d0 Soft Errors: 0 Hard Errors: 0 Transport Errors: 0 Vendor: ATA Product: ST31500341AS Revision: CC1H Serial No: Size: 1500.30GB <1500301910016 bytes> Media Error: 0 Device Not Ready: 0 No Device: 0 Recoverable: 0 Illegal Request: 0 Predictive Failure Analysis: 0 c4t10d0 Soft Errors: 0 Hard Errors: 252 Transport Errors: 0 Vendor: ATA Product: SAMSUNG HD204UI Revision: 0001 Serial No: Size: 2000.40GB <2000398934016 bytes> Media Error: 0 Device Not Ready: 0 No Device: 0 Recoverable: 0 Illegal Request: 0 Predictive Failure Analysis: 0 And a sample from dmesg: Jan 1 10:26:28 SAN Log info 0x31123000 received for target 11.

Jan 1 10:26:28 SAN scsi_status=0x0, ioc_status=0x804b, scsi_state=0xc What do they mean? It can't be that most of my SAMSUNG drives are failing? They almost all have the same number of errors, which is weird. Could this be caused by the fact that these SAMSUNG drives have 4K sectors? 'zpool status' reports no errors, although it did report a checksum error a while back on a drive, which I cleared. Any help greatly appreciated!
