Nimble AF/HF: Multiple Red Drive LEDs Without Reported Disk Faults
Source scope and symptom
The source lists HF60 / HF60C and AF60 / AF80, plus corresponding OEM models. Several drive LEDs show a red alarm indication, yet the recorded CLI checks report normal disks and no disk-hardware failure alert:
disk --list
disk --info
alert --list
Case analysis and action
The source attributes this symptom to firmware bug AS-116339. It identifies NimbleOS 6.1.2.500 as the permanent fix for that case, and controller failover as a temporary workaround when an upgrade cannot immediately be performed.
A matching public official English bug entry/fixed-version statement was not independently retrieved during this review. Confirm the installed release, OEM/platform applicability and supported target with HPE/the OEM. Use the vendor’s documented upgrade or failover procedure and verify HA readiness and host multipathing before changing controller state. Normal CLI output in this one case does not establish that every red drive LED is harmless.
