Physical Drive Reallocation Aborts. The number of times the physical drive has failed due to an error that occurred when the controller was trying to reallocate a bad sector during the reference time (phyDrvRefTime). Zero (0) indicates that no Reallocation Abort errors have occurred. The value increases each time a Reallocation Abort error occurs. Because of the nature of magnetic disks, certain sectors on a drive may have media defects. The reallocation area is part of the disk drive that is set aside to compensate for these defects. The array controller writes information addressed from unusable sectors to available sectors in the reallocation area. If you suspect a problem, schedule server down time to run diagnostics verify a problem exists.
