Chad,

Since you are running SCO, your going to need to schedule down time and boot into Ctrl-M. You have a hdd which is in a failed state. Go try to run a rebuild on your failed hdd. Also since you lost power check and make sure all hdds show capacity incase you lost a drive with the power event.

Ciao,
Greg

Greg i will schedule downtime tonight . When you say boot with control m what exactly do you mean . My main concern is i dont loose any of the operating system and can bring back up after rebuild

Thanks Chad

Chad,

I'm making an assumption that you have a netraid controller in your e-50. It would give a continuous beep if you had a hdd in a failed state. How many hdds do you have installed? You should always make sure you have a good backup before you run a rebuild on a netraid just incase something fails during the rebuild process.

Ok, you then are running on a single hdd with one failed. Just follow my steps and you should have no problems..
