Hot Swap drive will not rebuild. Stuck in queue state ADU attached

Lionelc — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 11:05:56 GMT

Hoping someone could assist me with my problem. Have Compaq ML530 running Netware6.5. A drive failed a couple weeks ago, I replaced it and it starts to rebuild then stops and goes to queue state. I upgraded all the firmware, PSP, but still will not complete. I ran ADU this morning have attached for review.

Thanks

Hi Lionel,
The Drive @ Location 10 has I/O errors, causing the rebuild to have failed twice already.

> Rebuild has failed Twice already :(

Logical Drive Status :Rebuild aborted due to read error, logical drive 00000001.

Replacement drive 11 Error drive 10.

Now chances are the rebuild will not complete at all. Best bet is to restore from a backup to save time. The Drive 10 is the one failing and needs to be replaced too.

Cheers!
Shiva

What you may want to try, is to put the old "failed" drive back in.

It may go green for a while enabling you to get a backup if you don't already have one.

It the drive works for a while, you can pull the drive that has "failed read recover" errors. What's happending is that one of the other drives has bad parity data. Once that one rebuilds, replace the original "failed" drive. Then your array will be ok.
