Predict disk failures

The system provides a disk failure prediction AI model based on disk history data by using Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology (S.M.A.R.T) to predict disk failures that might occur in the future. This feature allows the O&M team to back up data and replace disks before disks failure to avoid data loss.

Restrictions and guidelines

Only Seagate SATA disks on normal hosts support this feature.

Perform a prediction

  1. On the top navigation bar, click Storage, and then select Storage Management > Disk Failure Prediction from the navigation pane.

Parameters

Prediction Result: The prediction result of a disk can be normal or risk. Please back up data for disks in risk state or replace the disks to avoid data loss.
