is replacement HP branded - same size ?
Firmware at array Controller Up to date


What you see at POST 1 Logical Drive? Smart Array Controller?
What generation Server?
F1 F2 Options?

Replacement good known ?

Which generation is this server? Does the rebuild start at all? When you go into the Array Configuration Utility what, if any, kind of error do you get there?

A drive not starting the rebuild at all is usually caused by a drive which is too small. If it starts, but stops a certain percentage into the rebuild, then that's usually caused by a problem with the source drive (drive with data).

i can start the Array Configuration Utility
with the F key the replaced disk is the same size but nothing happens i seems to begin but then windows start from the good old mirror disk and runs stable.the new disk is reconized as good disk and the old one is with a yellow ? and sould be rebuild just the other way round i expect it.is there a manual way to do a rebuild of the mirror just like in HP-UX with a tool?!!

[Oleg Koroz]

run Array Configuration Utility ADU
check if there any REAd/WRITE problems on the Existing Drive also do
CHKDSK /f or /r
