replace HD of smart array 3200, RAID5, un-hotswappable, proliant 800
I have a Proliant 800 server with 3 HDs on RAID 5 under Smart Array
3200, they are non-hotswappable hard drives. Currently one hard drive is down indicated by Smart Array Utility, first of all I would like to identify which one is dead. So by looking into the indicator of the hard drive, there is one steadily in green, while the other two are blinking in green together. So I am assuming that the one with green steady must be the bad apple. Am I correct? Secondly, the steps: should I simply power off the server, pull the bad one out, switch the jumper with the same ID for new HD and put it back into the same slot as the old one, then when I power up the server, everything should be synchronized automatically with the new hard drive and ready to go without any further configuration? Your adivse in clarifying these steps is appreciated. Sapian Fshguo. |

do you have the HP System Management Agents installed ? Well, if the "array"
is telling you that the drive failed, i imagine you meant that you see this when the machine is POSTing. If you dont have the hotpulg drive cage, yes .. turn the machine off. One by one, remove the drives and look at the jumper config until you find the one with the proper SCSI ID. Replace that drive with a drive that is at least as large, thought ideally identical. give it the same SCSI ID, and when the server boots, the array controller will start to rebuild your volume(s) using the new drive. - LC "fshguo" wrote in message om...
