We've got a Proliant DL360 Gen 8 with an odd issue. It has four hard drives installed (this type). I believe it's set up as two RAID 1 pairs. This is an ESXi host that I can't easily shut down, and it's located in a remote office with limited on-site technical expertise. We don't have iLO set up.
One of the hard drives in the server has in the last couple of weeks begun displaying its "Do Not Remove" indicator, which typically means its RAID group is degraded. Problem is, all four drives have a solid green status indicator. Are there any other situations in which a drive's Do Not Remove indicator would be illuminated?

If you don't already have it, you need to install the HPE Smart Storage Administrator software for VMWare. This will allow you to see more detail about the condition of your storage configuration.
