# AGAPITO1 Replacement Runbook
Continuation of [20260208_second_zfs_degradation.md](20260208_second_zfs_degradation.md).
AGAPITO1 (`ata-ST4000NT001-3M2101_WX11TN0Z`) had a failing SATA PHY and was RMA'd. The ZFS mirror `proxmox-tank-1` has been running degraded on AGAPITO2 alone since Feb 8. The replacement drive (same model, serial `WX120LHQ`) needs to be physically installed and added to the mirror.
**Current state:**
- Pool: `proxmox-tank-1` (mirror-0), DEGRADED
- AGAPITO2 (`WX11TN2P`): ONLINE, on ata4
- Old AGAPITO1 (`WX11TN0Z`): shows REMOVED in pool config
- Physical: drive bay empty, SATA data + power cables still connected to mobo/PSU (should be ata3 port after the cable swap from incident 2)
- New drive: ST4000NT001-3M2101, serial `WX120LHQ`
---
## Phase 1: Pre-shutdown state capture
While server is still running, log current state for reference.
- [x] **1.1** Record pool status
```
zpool status -v proxmox-tank-1
```
Expected: DEGRADED, WX11TN0Z shows REMOVED, WX11TN2P ONLINE.
```
pool: proxmox-tank-1
state: DEGRADED
status: One or more devices have been removed.
Sufficient replicas exist for the pool to continue functioning in a
degraded state.
action: Online the device using zpool online' or replace the device with
'zpool replace'.
scan: scrub repaired 0B in 06:55:06 with 0 errors on Tue Feb 17 20:40:50 2026
config:
NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
proxmox-tank-1 DEGRADED 0 0 0
mirror-0 DEGRADED 0 0 0
ata-ST4000NT001-3M2101_WX11TN0Z REMOVED 0 0 0
ata-ST4000NT001-3M2101_WX11TN2P ONLINE 0 0 0
errors: No known data errors
```
- [x] **1.2** Record current SATA layout
```
dmesg -T | grep -E 'ata[0-9]+\.[0-9]+: ATA-|ata[0-9]+: SATA link up' | tail -20
```
Expected: AGAPITO2 visible on ata4. ata3 should show nothing (empty slot).
```
[Tue Feb 17 15:37:28 2026] ata4: SATA link up 6.0 Gbps (SStatus 133 SControl 300)
[Tue Feb 17 15:37:28 2026] ata4.00: ATA-11: ST4000NT001-3M2101, EN01, max UDMA/133
```
- [x] **1.3** Confirm AGAPITO2 is healthy before we start
```
smartctl -H /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST4000NT001-3M2101_WX11TN2P
```
Expected: PASSED. If not, stop and investigate before proceeding.
```
SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: PASSED
```
---
## Phase 2: Graceful shutdown
- [x] **2.1** Shut down all VMs gracefully from Proxmox UI or CLI
```
qm list
# For each running VM:
qm shutdown <VMID>
```
- [x] **2.2** Verify all VMs are stopped
```
qm list
```
Expected: all show "stopped".
- [x] **2.3** Power down the server
```
shutdown -h now
```
---
## Phase 3: Physical installation
- [x] **3.1** Open the case
- [x] **3.2** Locate the dangling SATA data + power cables (from the old AGAPITO1 slot)
- [x] **3.3** Visually inspect cables for damage — especially the SATA data connector pins
- [x] **3.4** Label the new drive as TOMMY with a marker/sticker. Write serial `WX120LHQ` on the label too.
- [x] **3.5** Seat the new drive in the bay
- [x] **3.6** Connect SATA data cable to the drive — push firmly until it clicks
- [x] **3.7** Connect SATA power cable to the drive — push firmly
- [x] **3.8** Double-check both connectors are fully seated (wiggle test — they shouldn't move)
- [x] **3.9** Close the case
---
## Phase 4: Boot and verify detection
- [x] **4.1** Power on the server, let it boot into Proxmox
- [x] **4.2** Verify the new drive is detected by the kernel
```
dmesg -T | grep -E 'ata[0-9]+\.[0-9]+: ATA-|ata[0-9]+: SATA link up'
```
Expected: new drive detected on ata3 (or whichever port the cable is on), at 6.0 Gbps.
```
[Fri Feb 20 22:57:06 2026] ata3: SATA link up 6.0 Gbps (SStatus 133 SControl 300)
[Fri Feb 20 22:57:06 2026] ata3.00: ATA-11: ST4000NT001-3M2101, EN01, max UDMA/133
[Fri Feb 20 22:57:07 2026] ata4: SATA link up 6.0 Gbps (SStatus 133 SControl 300)
[Fri Feb 20 22:57:07 2026] ata4.00: ATA-11: ST4000NT001-3M2101, EN01, max UDMA/133
```
TOMMY on ata3, AGAPITO2 on ata4. Both at 6.0 Gbps, firmware EN01.
- [x] **4.3** Verify the drive appears in `/dev/disk/by-id/`
```
ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/ | grep WX120LHQ
```
Expected: `ata-ST4000NT001-3M2101_WX120LHQ` pointing to some `/dev/sdX`.
```
ata-ST4000NT001-3M2101_WX120LHQ -> ../../sda
```
- [ ] **4.4** Set variables for convenience
```
NEW_DISKID="ata-ST4000NT001-3M2101_WX120LHQ"
NEW_DISKPATH="/dev/disk/by-id/$NEW_DISKID"
OLD_DISKID="ata-ST4000NT001-3M2101_WX11TN0Z"
echo "New: $NEW_DISKID -> $(readlink -f $NEW_DISKPATH)"
```
- [x] **4.5** Confirm drive identity and firmware version with smartctl
```
smartctl -i "$NEW_DISKPATH"
```
Expected: Model ST4000NT001-3M2101, Serial WX120LHQ, Firmware EN01, 4TB capacity.
```
Device Model: ST4000NT001-3M2101
Serial Number: WX120LHQ
Firmware Version: EN01
User Capacity: 4,000,787,030,016 bytes [4.00 TB]
SATA Version is: SATA 3.3, 6.0 Gb/s (current: 6.0 Gb/s)
```
- [x] **4.6** Check kernel logs are clean — no SATA errors, link drops, or speed downgrades
```
dmesg -T | grep -E 'ata[0-9]' | grep -iE 'error|fatal|reset|link down|slow|limiting'
```
Expected: nothing. If there are errors here on a brand new drive + known-good cable, **stop and investigate**.
```
[Fri Feb 20 22:57:06 2026] ata1: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300)
[Fri Feb 20 22:57:06 2026] ata2: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300)
```
Clean — ata1/ata2 are unused ports. No errors on ata3 or ata4.
---
## Phase 5: Health-check the new drive before trusting data to it
Don't resilver onto a DOA drive.
- [x] **5.1** SMART overall health
```
smartctl -H "$NEW_DISKPATH"
```
Expected: PASSED.
```
SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: PASSED
```
- [x] **5.2** Check SMART attributes baseline
```
smartctl -A "$NEW_DISKPATH" | grep -E 'Reallocated|Pending|Offline_Uncorrect|CRC|Error_Rate'
```
Expected: all counters at 0 (it's a new/refurb drive).
```
1 Raw_Read_Error_Rate ... - 6072
5 Reallocated_Sector_Ct ... - 0
7 Seek_Error_Rate ... - 476
197 Current_Pending_Sector ... - 0
198 Offline_Uncorrectable ... - 0
199 UDMA_CRC_Error_Count ... - 0
```
All critical counters at 0. Read/Seek error rate raw values are normal Seagate encoding.
- [x] **5.3** Run short self-test
```
smartctl -t short "$NEW_DISKPATH"
```
Wait ~2 minutes, then check:
```
smartctl -l selftest "$NEW_DISKPATH"
```
Expected: "Completed without error".
```
# 1 Short offline Completed without error 00% 0 -
```
Passed. 0 power-on hours — fresh drive.
- [x] **5.4** (Decision point) Short test passed. Proceeding.
---
## Phase 6: Add new drive to ZFS mirror
- [x] **6.1** Open a dedicated terminal for kernel log monitoring
```
dmesg -Tw
```
Leave this running throughout the resilver. Watch for ANY `ata` errors.
- [x] **6.2** Replace the old drive with the new one in the pool
```
zpool replace proxmox-tank-1 "$OLD_DISKID" "$NEW_DISKID"
```
This tells ZFS: "the REMOVED drive WX11TN0Z is being replaced by WX120LHQ". Resilvering starts automatically.
- [x] **6.3** Verify resilvering has started
```
zpool status -v proxmox-tank-1
```
Expected: state DEGRADED, new drive shows as part of a `replacing` vdev, resilver in progress.
```
resilver in progress since Fri Feb 20 23:10:58 2026
5.71G / 1.33T scanned at 344M/s, 0B / 1.33T issued
0B resilvered, 0.00% done
replacing-0 DEGRADED 0 0 0
ata-ST4000NT001-3M2101_WX11TN0Z REMOVED 0 0 0
ata-ST4000NT001-3M2101_WX120LHQ ONLINE 0 0 7.73K
ata-ST4000NT001-3M2101_WX11TN2P ONLINE 0 0 0
```
Resilver running. Cksum count on new drive is expected during resilver (unwritten blocks).
- [x] **6.4** Monitor resilver progress periodically
```
watch -n 30 "zpool status -v proxmox-tank-1"
```
Expected: steady progress, no read/write/cksum errors on either drive. Based on previous experience (~500GB at ~100MB/s with VMs down), expect roughly 1-2 hours.
VMs were auto-started on boot. Resilver completed: 1.34T in 03:32:55 with 0 errors.
- [x] **6.5** VMs were already running (auto-start on boot).
---
## Phase 7: Post-resilver verification
Wait for resilver to complete (status will say "resilvered XXG in HH:MM:SS with 0 errors").
- [x] **7.1** Check final pool status
```
zpool status -v proxmox-tank-1
```
Expected: ONLINE (or DEGRADED with "too many errors" message requiring a clear — same as last time).
```
state: ONLINE
scan: resilvered 1.34T in 03:32:55 with 0 errors on Sat Feb 21 02:43:53 2026
ata-ST4000NT001-3M2101_WX120LHQ ONLINE 0 0 7.73K
ata-ST4000NT001-3M2101_WX11TN2P ONLINE 0 0 0
```
ONLINE. 7.73K cksum on TOMMY is expected resilver artifact — clearing next.
- [x] **7.2** Clear residual cksum counters
```
zpool clear proxmox-tank-1
```
Counters cleared (status message and cksum count gone on re-check).
```
state: ONLINE
scan: resilvered 1.34T in 03:32:55 with 0 errors on Sat Feb 21 02:43:53 2026
ata-ST4000NT001-3M2101_WX120LHQ ONLINE 0 0 0
ata-ST4000NT001-3M2101_WX11TN2P ONLINE 0 0 0
errors: No known data errors
```
- [x] **7.3** Run a full scrub to verify data integrity
```
zpool scrub proxmox-tank-1
```
Expected: **0 errors on both drives**.
```
scrub repaired 0B in 03:27:50 with 0 errors on Sat Feb 21 11:38:02 2026
ata-ST4000NT001-3M2101_WX120LHQ ONLINE 0 0 0
ata-ST4000NT001-3M2101_WX11TN2P ONLINE 0 0 0
errors: No known data errors
```
- [x] **7.4** Clean status confirmed — 0B repaired, 0 errors, both drives 0/0/0.
- [x] **7.5** Baseline SMART snapshot of the new drive after heavy I/O
```
smartctl -x "$NEW_DISKPATH" | grep -E 'Reallocated|Pending|Offline_Uncorrect|CRC|Hardware Resets|COMRESET|Interface'
```
Expected: 0 reallocated, 0 CRC errors, low hardware reset count.
```
Reallocated_Sector_Ct ... 0
Current_Pending_Sector ... 0
Offline_Uncorrectable ... 0
UDMA_CRC_Error_Count ... 0
Number of Hardware Resets ... 2
Number of Interface CRC Errors ... 0
COMRESET ... 2
```
All clean. 2 hardware resets / COMRESETs from boot — normal.
- ~~**7.6**~~ Skipped — extended SMART self-test is redundant after a clean resilver + scrub. ZFS checksums already verified every data block; the only thing the long test would cover is empty space that ZFS hasn't written to, which ZFS will verify on future use anyway.
---
## Phase 8: Final state — done
- [x] **8.1** Final pool status — already captured in 7.4. Mirror is healthy:
```
pool: proxmox-tank-1
state: ONLINE
scan: scrub repaired 0B in 03:27:50 with 0 errors on Sat Feb 21 11:38:02 2026
config:
NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
proxmox-tank-1 ONLINE 0 0 0
mirror-0 ONLINE 0 0 0
ata-ST4000NT001-3M2101_WX120LHQ ONLINE 0 0 0
ata-ST4000NT001-3M2101_WX11TN2P ONLINE 0 0 0
errors: No known data errors
```
- [x] **8.2** All VMs running normally — verified from Proxmox UI
- [x] **8.3** Celebrate. Mirror is whole again.
---
## Abort conditions
Stop and investigate if any of these happen:
- New drive not detected after boot (bad seating or DOA)
- SATA errors in `dmesg` during or after boot (bad cable? bad drive?)
- SMART short test fails on new drive (DOA — contact seller)
- Resilver stalls or produces errors on the new drive
- Scrub finds checksum errors on the new drive
---
## Execution summary
Executed 2026-02-20 evening through 2026-02-21 morning. No abort conditions hit — completely clean run.
- TOMMY (`WX120LHQ`) installed on ata3 at 6.0 Gbps, detected first boot
- SMART short test passed, all critical attributes at zero
- Resilver: 1.34T in 03:32:55, 0 errors (VMs were running — auto-start on boot)
- Scrub: repaired 0B in 03:27:50, 0 errors, both drives 0/0/0
- Post-I/O SMART baseline clean: 0 reallocated, 0 CRC errors
- Extended SMART test skipped — redundant after clean resilver + scrub (ZFS checksums already verified all data blocks)
- Pool `proxmox-tank-1` fully healthy. Mirror degradation that started 2026-02-08 is resolved.
