The disk shows medium errors and puncturing bad blocks

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • The Virtual Disk1 (Physical Disk 3 & 5) have got more medium errors and puncturing bad blocks.
  • H/W vendor has recommended to replace HDD but replacement will lead to delete all the partitions and re-create and we need to do all installation from fresh again. Could you please let me is there any workaround to avoid this?
