On my ancient Pegasus2 R6 system, one of the disks has developed a red light.
I have completely forgot everything about system maintenance on this program.
I have just reinstalled the Promise Utility program (4.06.0000.04 (C04). But that seems to just run a program called Instruments. I vaguelly recollect a function to check the disk status on ths program.
How do I fix the red light issue?
If I go to terminal and type promiseutil I get the program. Type help and I get the list of commands

Ah wait, lets go to the older iMac. Yep. it is correctly installed there. Utility shows drive two has an issue.
Only 3 disks are in the array. LD 0. has a MAJOR error 0x00090004. Dec 27. Logical drive has been set to critical. Drives 1, 2, & 3. Drieve 2 has a red X. Looks like 323 Minor 'bad sector' found on Disk warnings.
Used promiseutil phydrv -a online -p 2 to force drive back online
Used promiseutil array -a accept -d 0 to force array back online
Looks like it is working again. Now what...
Started a Redundancy check. Then Media Patrol. Then Spare check.
