Disk life cycle

[johnwright007]

Hi all,

I have heard that Sun Disks (like the one's in my T3 arrays) have a life cycle. Whereby they go for so long and then after a certain amount of time need to be replaced. Even if the disk is fine. It's like a sort of pre-emptive disk swap before the disk really does fail.

Anyway, my question is; does anyone know of any command I can use to check out how long my disks have got left before they expire?

Thanks in advance,

John

As far as I know Sun haven't yet gone in for built-in-obsolesence, but if anyone knows otherwise I'd be glad to hear!
