Hi,

I have issue with a ML350 G3.
There are 3 hardrives configured with RAID 5 and 2 other hardrives configured with RAID 1.

two hardrives with raid 5 config is faulty now,but the funny thing is that they failed at the same time. could this issue be with the scsi card? i dont think its the hardisks,however not sure. Please help on diagnisis steps

Hello,

shutdown the server and transfer the disks into another server. Be sure that the new server is alos powered off, when you plugin the disks. If the RAID 5 came up on this server, maybe the backplane or controller is the problem. You can also run the array diagnostic utility (ADU) on the ML350 G3.

Best regards,
Patrick
