Blue Disk Icon in SFWHA against disk

I would like to know whether the blue information icon that I am seeing on the passive node of a sfwha cluster will clear when a failover is initiated. The issue has arisen following a recent disk...

    Thank you Mike/Marianne,

    Issue was resolved by removing this disk from the storage group on Unisphere  and doing a rescan and then adding it back into the storage group on Unipshere, followed by a server reboot.

    Strange issue, which although not a problem as such had to be resolved to ensure passive node ready should we need to failover in the event of an emergency.

Thank you for the update.

The disk is not showing failed and I agree that with it been the pasive node and a disk which is part of a dynamic disk group, it will be in a deported state since the dymanic disk group is on the active server.

None of the other disks which are part of the deported disgroup have a blue icon status, therefore i am wondering of this will correct itself once a failover is done. It is not normal for there to be a blue icon status, since i have checked other Veritas clusters which we have running and the this is first.

I just want to sure that if and when we do need to failover it will work, since from the SAN side all looks to be working and in order. I am getting a call logged with support to also seek guidance.
