Hdisk Problems mostly (not always, but very oftenly) "surface out" on AIX systems. Before a hdisk device finally dies usually there are an increasing number of relocations (basically that means a small part of the disks surface has become unusable) showing in the error-log as PERM-type errors (TMP-type errors can safely be ignored). You can ignore one or two of them, but as they happen more and more often prepare to replace the disk proactively.

AIX gets it information about the disk not from the hdisk itself, but from the electronic and specifically the firmware chip on it. This part can still work without any problem while the physical drive is already worn out.
