Interim Recovery

Andy731 · ‎11-29-2013

HP DL 180 G5 Server Raid-5 with 6 drive , Sever suddenly shut down and cant boot in window server

but (Slot 4,and 5 ) appeared with Orange light

when processing of recovery slot 5 IN Recovery Mode , shows in Interim Recovery Warning , slot 4 Failed .

Actually Slot 4 ,5 failed . How can i do action with recovery ? is it corrupted Array already ?

You could try to boot the current SPP image, start ACU (now called differently ...) and check the status of the array.

If 2 disks in a RAID 5 have failed, the array is gone.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for your help

The ACU CALLING (ARRAY CONFIGURATION UTILITY ) right?

What is SSP IMAGE ?

SPP is the new smartstart DVD (since feb. 2012):

https://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=spp_2013.09.0

ACU is now called smart storage administrator, but basically the same. You can get detailed status of your array (assuming you have a smart array controller installed, typically the P400 in this system).

Hope this helps!

Torsten.
