Replace disk in a RAID 6 array

• Adding a replacement disk in a RAID 5 (PERC S300) replacement hot

  I scoured through comments and think I have the solution almost, but would confirm or correct if possible.

  Have a PowerEdge R310, four 500 GB drives, RAID 5, with one of these defined as Global Hot Spare drives.  One of the spare wheel failed, hot (003) disks has done its job and kept during the RAID.

  Put in the replacement drive in and can see it is Ready on physical disks via manage open.  More I noticed that he as a Non Raid virtual drive virtual drives.

  I thought it was to automatically rebuild the RAID after the disc has been inserted, but it didn't.  I started to reconfigure it on existing RAID, hoping to choose the new disk and start the reconstruction, but he doesn't see the new drive as a physical drive.  I guess that's because the system has assigned the new drive as a new virtual disk.

  I remove the new virtual disk, and then run the reconfigure statement the existing virtual disk of RAID 5 to add the new drive?

  I hope this makes sense and I appreciate any help!  Right now my server is in place and very well, but these 500 GB drives are reliable - I lost an another late last year and replaced him.

  Thanks for the quick response.  If I already have a spare drive (the one who took over after the failure of the other disk), it will allow me to do the new hot spare?

  This player is no longer a "rescue." It is now a member of the array fully operational. You don't have a spare drive. It is also possible to have two hot-spare set.

  I run the Reconfiguration on the RAID 5 in Open Manager after the non - RAID VD is removed?

  No, Reconfigure will EXPAND a virtual disk, usually by adding a physical drive. So if you have a 3-drive RAID 5, you insert a new disk and run the statement reconfigures, you might reconfigure your 3-drive RAID 5 to 4 drive RAID 5 (is worth a drive to storage space by adding to your table/server) or a 4-drive RAID 6 (essentially a RAID 5 with a disc of relief, but instead of relief being a non-member member - only standyby player - help is integrated with the table as a full member. the RAID array results in an additional parity so that two disks can fail while maintaining the availability of the matrix, rather than wait for a player to fail before starting the reconstruction to become a member of the table; RAID 6 is usually best when using very large capacity disks).

• RAID 5 array on PERC6 / I offline

  OK, so we have a 2970 with a PERC6/i. 5 disks in a RAID 5 array and a hot spare. I apparently lost two readers today, one failed and the other started showing as a foreign config. I erased the foreign config and I replaced the drive, but now on my table, I show 3 disks and 2 marked pitches "missing." How can I make this table back online and ready to go without deletion and creation of a new VD? Thanks in advance...

  IMPORT

  Used ONLY when the array is offline (non-functional/failed). If you have a 3-drive RAID 5 and two disks are foreign (or a stranger, a failure or missing), RAID 5 is dead and off line. You must import it in this case. If you replace a drive has failed/foreigners with a new and a new is marked as foreign and you import, you will corrupt your data.

  CLAIRE

  Used ONLY when the table is online (upward and running, functional). If you have a 3-drive RAID 5 and a single drive foreign shows (which means that the disc is also offline), you must DELETE it (if it is an original or a replacement drive), and then assigned as a hot spare.

  In general, once you clear the foreign configuration, you do not get a second chance - the disc is in a ready state.

• Replace disk in RAID-1 of PowerEdge 2970

  I managed a PowerEdge 2970 server with a RAID-1 in place.  Recently, one of the drives has failed and we bought two replacement disks.  When I loaded one of burners in the Bay for the drive replacement fails, the PERC utility detected a foreign start-up car and I was able to import the foreign configuration, and the drive has been rebuilt automatically.  I gave the car at night to rebuild and the perfect morning it had worked.  So far so good.

  I wanted to replace the other drive in the system as well.  When I took out the disc and put the second replacement, I had again a foreign configuration detected but by selecting the foreign configuration to import on startup option seemed to have no effect.  I searched the PERC utility to try to find something to make the drive added to the existing virtual disk, but no dice.  Finally I ended up putting the original screw back and managed to do the rebuild.

  I tried to install the software OpenManage on OS (Red Hat) to see if I had a little better luck.  Currently, I have the original and replacement #1 player in the machine, configured as a virtual drive.  I also put the second replacement in another Bay and he appears as a foreign disk.

  I tried to use the option "replace Member disk" in OpenManage but no records have been listed as possible replacements and I received the following message:

  Storage Management displays only records that can be used as a member to replace. There are at present no discs that are available, large enough, or the correct type to use as a member to replace for this virtual disk.

  Of the original disks are Dell 73 GB SAS model #MBD2174RC.  The replacement disks are Dell 300 GB SAS model #VJR75.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  IMPORT - used ONLY when a table is offline and is not accessible (several readers showing foreigners, etc.) or when moving disks to a new controller.

  CLEAR - used when a table is online and functional and a new disc is introduced or an old drive fails and is marked as foreign.

  Selection of evil is a very simple way of corrupting your data.  According to your description, you're lucky, you don't destroy your data, and I guess that there is more to the story that is written (or its configuration was a relief or empty, which is unusual).

  NEVER supply down to replace a hot-swap drive.

  At this stage, to replace the original with a new disk, you must DELETE the foreign configuration: OMSA, storage, PERC, information/Configuration (link at the top of the page), Clear foreign business in drop-down list of tasks available for the controller.  You can do ANYTHING with a foreign disk until you have solved the foreign configuration (compensation or import).  After erasing the configuration foreign, the disc should show Ready... you will be assigned as a hot spare to start reconstruction.

  After you rebuild your array will be always 68 (73 GB) in size.  If you are interested in the use of the newly available space and assuming you have a PERC 5/6 controller, the only thing you can do with the extra space is to create a second RAID array on the disks, which will appear as a separate 'disc' for the operating system.

• How can I remove a hard disk to the raid set default and replace it with a new one

  Last Friday apparently began one of my raid drives failing.

  As I said on this forum I started having continuous beep.

  I was finally able to get the raid works at a degraded level.  I ordered a replacement hard drive, that happened today.

  (In the meantime, I made twice daily backups of my work...)

  Below is the message that I have the raid of browser-based software:

  Blahblah 09 1000,2 GB RaidSet Member SamSung HD103SJ

  Blahblah 10 GB 1000,2 free SamSung HD103SJ

  Blahblah 11 1000,2 GB RaidSet Member SamSung HD103SJ

  Blahblah 12 GB 1000,2 RaidSet Member SamSung HD103SJ

  (See this thread sooner if you wish!)

  http://forums.Adobe.com/thread/727867?TSTART=0

  
  At any given time when I did the checked the browser interface, I have seen the message failed and degraded

  As I said, I was able to work this weekend on the degraded system.

  This morning I had the new tone and made the rescue and now I use a "full raid" without the advice that a raid was 'free '.

  In all cases, the new drive arrived today.

  Should what precautions I take to integrate the new drive in the raid system.

  I have an OS disk

  and raid 4 TB drives.   One needs to be replaced with the new one I get today.

  Thank you

  Rowby,

  You currently have your background priority set to 20% IIRC, so it will take time to rebuild, but probably a lot less than 24 hours as for new construction. Even with 20% defined, I guess that it will be done in less than 12 hours, but you can set the background priority to 50% and it will be much faster at the expense of access to your raid. Reconstruction of the background is designed to give you access to all your data files and to continue the work, while the data is being rebuilt. You can continue your work, so if it takes 8 or 12 hours to find the full data intergrity isn't all that relevant. Your aura a functional slower than with a raid reaction complete, but has more speed than a single disk.

• Suggested Drive setup for new h8 - 1360t with SSD and Raid-1 array

  All,

  I need some advice on how to configure the drives in my new system (waiting for construction and delivery, sigh).

  I bought a plan to replace the 1 TB drive with a new drive SSD that I start from and H8 - 1360T (Win 7 Pro).

  I also have a Raid-1 array in an old HP 4999 T system (Vista) disks Western Digital Caviar Black 2x2TB

  By looking at the motherboard plug appear to be only SATA0/1 6 GB/s, the others are 3GBPS.

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03132942

  I was a little surprised by that and need some advice.

  1. If I put the SSD on SATA0 or SATA1, the quickest way?

  2 or do I put the drives Raid-1 array and move the SSD to path of 3 Gbps?

  I think this last (option 2), but wanted to get your entry in case missed me something.

  Thank you

  Joel

  Ruette,

  Thanks for your comments. Looks like I should start with Option 1 as a better starting point.

• RAID 1 array degraded; no option to rebuild

  I have a PowerEdge T110 server with a PERC S100 RAID controller (firmware / RAID of 'false').  Unfortunately, I had a little accident tonight while I was working on this machine.  In trying to clean up a mess of cable, I accidentally yanked on the wrong cable and disconnected the power supply of the server.

  When the server has been run through POST, he paused and said the RAID 1 array was degraded.  Entering the S100 configuration, it tells me that unit 0 is degraded, and the other is fine.  The server starts very well.

  I opened the OpenManage utility that displays the status of the Ramdisk to deteriorate as well.  However, despite the poster the State as being degraded, absolutely nowhere no it lists all option to rebuild the table.  I can't even check the consistency.  Under the drop-down list for 'tasks', the only available options are:

  1. Delete
  2. Having-right/remove the dedicated hot spare assignment
  3. Change of name

  That's all.  Of course, I don't want to do any of these.  The BIOS configuration utility seems also unnecessary.  Although it lists the specific physical drive that is deteriorating, I see no option to rebuild the coherence of the table.  Because the physical disk has failed and is not actually damaged, I don't need or want to replace it.

  So, why everything isn't rebuild option listed, and how can I rebuild this table without deleting all of the volume and restore a backup?

  I tried swapping cables, and while he was smart enough to realize that the disk has just moved, it has not affected the degraded disk.

  I decided to do bankruptcy and just remove the degraded and 'clean' drive by using DiskPart.  That has worked, and Windows 7 shows the drive as "not initialized".  I put back it in the server, and it has been recorded as being non RAID... was not even as 'new '.  Basically, it was like its own volume automatically.

  I kept starting in Windows Server to verify that I have screwed something up to put my nerves at ease.  Windows starts, I went in the virtual disks of OpenManage section and saw that the (rather old) 'new' drive appeared.  So, I chose "delete" in the list of available jobs.  He deleted successfully, disappearing from the list of virtual disks.

  At this point, I thought I could go ahead and assign a spare drive dedicated to the array degraded since the tasks available.  Nope. No disks available. What?

  Panic now, I went in the "physical disk" section of OpenManage, and he was there with his status as a 'ready' (opposite to 'online').  The title of his available tasks, it was 'global hot spare assignment. "  I did that, and the status of the RAID battery under 'virtual disks' changed to 'reconstruction '.

  [ADMIN NOTE: profanity removed by TOU], why was it so difficult?

  During the time I spent writing this, its reconstruction progress has reached 4%.  I'll update on the State when it is finished.

  EDIT: Everything worked successfully.  Reconstruction finished after a few hours and the RAID volume is re-reading in good health.

• Degraded RAID 1 array: PowerEdge 2800

  Hello to everyone. I hope someone can shed some light on this unusual situation.

  I have a PowerEdge 2800, which must be replaced before May this year, this is a great server and done an excellent job over the past 7 years.

  OK for the problem; The server administrator has been a failure on 0:0

  In the server, we have:

  0: Maxtor 36 GB 15 k 0 0:1 Fujitsu 73 GB 15 k something 1:2... 1:3 something...

  So, I jumped 0:0 and the server worked great with a range of gradations, and 15 seconds I inserted back to the PE2800. After about 45 minutes the RAID 1 array has been rebuilt, but it still says expected failure. So I thought that better order some new readers - I received today; 2 x 146 GB 15 k Seagate Cheetah.

  OK, so I jumped 0:0 drive and inserted one of the 146 GB Cheetah and the server crashed - wouldn't boot at all and gave me an error stating that the logical drive failed.

  Thus, in the PERC4i BIOS, I forced drive 0:1 online and the server is now back operational but with a range of gradations.

  So that's where I am, what choice do I have?

  Insert the old disk with a predicted failure, leave it alone or try the 146 GB Cheetah. I don't really want to do an any of them, but I will order another 73 GB Fujitsu in the meantime.

  I want to know is why the server crash after having inserted the cheetah disc? I traded to many-a-time pluggable hard drives in the past in several dell breaks and never experienced anything like this.

  Degraded running, any response would be massively appreciated.

  Thank you very much.

  "So, I'm now to square, where I have a RAID1 system with a disk failure planned.  What would you do from here on? »

  Another thing that many people do not know is with a disk of pf, should it be forced offline before replacing, if not the FP flag can be assigned to the new drive (until a real "rescan" is performed) and can result in strange behavior (the controller is more sensitive to potential readers of pf failure).

  "Common sense says I can't mix-match 10 k / 15 k TPM!

  You CAN / layout speeds and/or sizes (there's nothing wrong with him "technically"), but in real-world scenarios, you would ever want to mix speeds (depending on the configuration, it degrade the speed of the whole picture).  One thing you can't do is mix U320 SCSI U160 readers on a bottom of basket/controller.

  "What would you do from here on?

  I guess from here depends on what you feel more comfortable making.  There is a chance that the pf reader works fine until you are finished with the server (or until you can get another replacement - if you feel another replacement would be better than those you currently have), even if it might cause additional problems if his condition deteriorates.  There is a chance it could happen again if you try to replace it, but I think it's unlikely to happen.  If it was me (and it is important to remember that this isn't :)), I force disk 0 offline and replace "hot" by the other 146 GB drive.  Another thing you could do, who feel probably less risky, is simply to insert the disc of 146 GB in an open slot, assign as a relief, then force offline disk 0, which results in a regeneration start automatically with disk 0.

• Factory restore / Boot Order RAID 0 array?

  I have a 'mobile 'current enforcement office (laptop) XP Pro SP2 with dual hard drives in a RAID 0 array.  For various reasons, I want to put the machine in its factory out-of-the-box condition using discs of recovery/restoration of the manufacturer (essentially the application of Norton Ghost). I did my due diligence regarding the restoration of the machine and 'reconstruction' from there, but the machine does not start on boot from the restore disc CD.  I do not venture into the BIOS often... the existing boot priority order is as follows:

  1. USB FDC:

  2 PCISCSI: FTTX Ary1

  3 IDEO_M: QSI CD-RW/DVD-ROM

  4 IDEO_S: _NEC DVD + /-RW

  5. PCI LAN:

  6.

  7 etc.

  I don't have a built-in floppy drive. I want the machine to start from #3 (my first optical drive).  In the order of precedence of the BIOS Boot, I simply move #3 to the #1 or #2 position?  Will be other items then simply drop into their existing order?

  I do not know how does RAID 0 of the table is on the boot order selection, but I don't want to spoil anything.  I appreciate your help and your expertise.

  Hi Aravaipa,

  · On what CD drive you insert the disc?

  · The operating system was preinstalled on the computer?

  · If so, what the number and model of the computer?

  · If it was custom build provide the serial number and model of the motherboard?

  · Have you have saved data on the computer?

  I suggest you to back up data before performing the procedure below:

  1. If the computer is preinstalled on RAID 0 configuration then you might need to break the Raid by changing the variable speed drive (ATA controller) to Normal or IDE

  2. as you have two CD/make ROM DVD readers like the first and the second in the boot sequence and make the method of trial and error to see what DVD Rom detects the recovery disk

  Note: Change to the BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk. You can contact the manufacturer of the computer for better assistance.

• Replace disks

  On a Dell XPS 8300 (built in 2012) I can replace Serial ATA II RAID 0 with two drives of 500 GB Seagate 2 TB disks (spindle speed: 7200 RPM, Serial ATA-600, form factor 3.5 ")?

  Yes. SATA 3 is backward compatible. You'll probably want to clone your image of hard drive through new disks, or perform a clean installation.

• PERC H330 and Raid 5, try adding another SATA drive raid 5 array

  Hi all

  I have one server PowerEdge T330 with 8 slots of disc and have currently 3 SATA drives running a raid 5 configuration.  I have a virtual disk configured for Raid (must).

  The operating system recognizes the disk and is able to use the resources...

  My desire is to add another hard drive to the table (hard disks of the same size, same brand, etc.) with 4 disks without losing any data.

  I looked in the settings of the iDrac and the only adjustment was to add the new disk as a global hot spare or a hot spare dedicated to the virtual drive.

  I also looked in the BIOS and do not see a way to add the new drive.

  Does anyone know how to increase capacity?  I can blow the virtual drive if necessary and start over without problem.  I intend to gradually accomplish this Act until adding 8 disks. (5 times).

  Help!

  Hello.

  Management controllers RAID and tables is not made in the BIOS iDRAC or systems. For the management of the RAID (virtual disks) arrays, you have OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA). If not installed, see the link: http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=TK61C once installed, go to-> Storage->-> H330 PERC controllers-> virtual disk--> sub tasks available-> select reconfigure and run-> then check a box to add the fourth disk on the next page. Follow the prompts and allows you to extend your range of RAID 5.

  Also, leading me to http://kb.lsi.com/KnowledgebaseArticle15548.aspx

  Yes, this link seems to have enough detailed instructions on how to install the specific driver under ESX and ESXi.

  When I run Setup ESXi 4.0 DVD, there no option anywhere to load additional drivers?

  According to the article, your RAID device can only serve as secondary storage under ESXi.    If this is the case, I would be first to install ESXi to a small local SATA or USB.  After the initial installation, you can then follow the instructions in the article linked to download/install the driver for your RAID controller.  Then you can use your RAID array to store your guests on.

• Need to reinstall Windows 7 due to the hard failure but needing a replacement disk drive

  I have a DELL N5010(no longer under warranty) and had to replace the hard drive to the 2nd time, whenever an attempt to install 64 bit Windows 7 - error code disc is displayed. My computer thinks that the disc is damaged.  Am I eligible for a replacement disk? If so, from whom MS or DELL? If this is not an upgrade disk will be enough?

  You need to contact Dell for a replacement recovery disc. A upgrade disc won't work, as you would a new OEM installation with OEM key.
