Connected to the ILO and saw the blade attempting to boot from NIC. It is aparrent the array failed.<BR /><BR />I took out the failed hard drive from the upper HD slot and replaced it with a spare drive from a decomissioned server(used drive). On doing this a second logical drive was added to the disk contoller.(I regret adding the used drive at this point).<BR /><BR />Booted array configuration utility and deleted the logical drive &amp; array created by the new drive in the uppper slot.<BR /><BR />I removed the new drive, left the orignal drive in the lower slot and trued to boot from the logical drive(listed as logical drive 2 RAID 0). It doesnt boot. Smartstart lists an issue as "no bootable drive configured". <BR /><BR />I appreciate that I added the replacement drive too early. I am wondering<BR />-why did the array initially fail with 1 working drive left<BR />-is there any way I can get the remaining logical drive bootable without a new logical drive and OS rebuild.
