PERC S300 degraded, but all the players are fine and running

PowerEdge T310 with 4 drive PERC S300.

3 drives in RAID 5, this is defined as a spare

RAID management (boot pre-W2K8) PERC S300 reporting "Degraded(R/W)."

All the three RAID drives are reporting "online".

The spare wheel reports 'spare '.

Green lights on all four physical disks in the Bay.

Is this a software problem? Firmware?

Suggestions of help appreciated!

Best,

James

Hello James

I suggest you check the OpenManage Server Administrator alert logs. There is probably an error that tells you what the problem is. Also, the S100/S300 does not remove status of spare of a drive when it is used in a table. I would like to remove the hot spare to check if it shows a different status. He should go to the ready state.

If you find an error with one of the disks in the alert log drive should probably be replaced. I also recommend that you make sure that the firmware, driver, and OMSA S300 are all up to date.

Thank you
