873e is frozen - help!

HI

I have an 873e.

One of the disks had a ‘warning’ on it so i ordered a new disk today.

However, this afternoon, it started acting crazy. I can get as far as this screen, but it won’t let me load any application.

Should i attempt to install the new disk to see if that will rectify the problem or is there some kind of reset i can do?

What disk models are these ? … disks with missing TLER or even worse SMR could lock up the whole system (pulling the defective drive might fix the state)

It’s in raid 6. I know which drive is the bad one (drive 8)

OK, the question of the disk model was not answered though…

Pull the busted drive then

sorry: Seagate Ironwolf 8tb in every slot.

Pull the bad drive whilst its on?

I am assumign this is the issue

OK, Ironwolfs should be unproblematic, yes always hotswap busted drives

problem fixed!
