Problems rebuilding RAID 5

Runboy — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 10:52:54 GMT

Server: HP Proliant DL380, RAID 5 (3 disks)

One of the drives in my server failed and I replaced the failed drive with a new one. After 2 hours the rebuild failed and the new drive was reporting bad.

I have now replaced the drive again with another new drive and the rebuild has currently been going on for 13 hours and is not finished yet. I made an just made an ADU report and it looks like the other new drive is reporting a lot of problems two. I have included the report.

Any suggestions. Is it not highly likely that this will fail eventually also?

I would suggest to run the array diagnostic tool.

Might be a backplane issue?

I included the diagnostics report in the original posting.

By the way it hasn't completed the rebuild yet. Now going on 20 hours.
