physicaldrive 1I 1 5 failed
Servers with Smart Array P420i are relative old and the command-line interface (cli) to manage the controller is really old. To replace a failed this in such a controller the hpacucli is need to verify where the disk is located. In the example there, the server’s OS is CentOS Stream 9 and the hpacucli is manually downloaded from the official HPE site – https://downloads.linux.hpe.com/repo/mcp/centos/5.4/x86_64/9.40/hpacucli-9.40-12.0.x86_64.rpm. The RPM package is for an older CentOS, but still works faultlessly under CentOS Stream 9 (2024 year).
The command-line utility hpacucli commands presented in the article can be used as a reference how to list, view and modify Smart Array P420i configuration, logical drives, physical drive and the different output when there are failed disks (logical drives).
The current Smart Array P420i configuration is 8 disk in separated each in their own logical drive, i.e. using RAID0, because this controller does not support HBA mode, so no JBOD.
Before the physical bad disk has been replaced.
First, it is best to show all the configuration at once
This is the configuration of RAID0 – 1 logical drive consists of 1 physical drive (in this case, there are two types of disks – 6 hard drives and 2 SSD disks). ctrl all show config

Showing all the logical drive will also print the Failedlogical drive. Note that when there is a failed logical drive, the controller wouldn’t export it to the OS (Linux), so the logical driver under Linux device interface such as /dev/sd? is not visible and nor accessible.

After the physical bad disk has been replaced by a on-site support technician in the server.
List the information for the failed logical drive.
After replacing the bad disk on bay 5, the serial number (and/or model) will be different and the status of the new disk changes from Failed to OK. This is valid only for the physical drive, not the logical drive, which in this case is RAID0. The logical drive is still in Failed state. The new drive is part of the logical Failed drive “Array E” (logical drive 5 if the user counts them and may use this number with the hpacucli commands). So there are possible two ways of recovering the disk for the OS. First, remove the failed logical device and create a new one and second, just re-enable the logical device and it will use the new disk (which is important to be in OK status.)
When executing modification commands on the logical (and physical) drives, first, always use show command to verify the correct (logical or physical) drive and then execute the modification command. In this case, first use show command on the “array E”, which is logical drive 5 in the row and then execute modification command with re-enable. ctrl slot 0 ld 5 show
