DL380 G5
P400 with (6) Physical 2.5" Drives
Three logical drives (Raid1+0)
We've replaced a drive that was failing due to Imminent Failure. During the rebuild, we started noticing HARD READ ERRORS increasing.
Now we have TWO hard disks in imminent failure.. both with the same RAID1+0 container.
We've put in a new P400 controller, new cache and battery, and a new drive backplane controller.
We then put in brand new drives - one at a time. The rebuild completed fine but the HARD READ ERRORS kept increasing (slowly but surely) until both drives failed again. We have now put in a total of (5) drives.
We've updated to the latest firmware using the newest downloaded firmware DVD to no avail.
We are looking for suggestions on what to try next. -= scratching my head =-
Thanks in advance for your time and consideration.
Your friend in Virginia,

Re: DL380 G5 P400 Hard Read Errors - Imminent Failure
I will do that. Thanks for the suggestions. I've also seen some REALLY WIERD issues resolved with firmware updates. I ran it once and even saw it update the drives firmware but the problems continued.
For now, I've removed the production drives and I've used the SmartStart CD to erase the machine and I've also deleted all the logical volumes on the P400 controller.
I then put in two of the drives (from yesterday) that failed with the predictive failures and I'm running the SmartStart diagnostics on them.
As of now, I'm 40% with no errors.
Quick Question: Is there a way to reset these drives that I have that are now reporting predictive failures? They are all brand new drives.
Thanks agian for your time and consideration. It is greatly apprecaited.

Re: DL380 G5 P400 Hard Read Errors - Imminent Failure
If these suggestions dont help, you can even give a try at the data cable going from the backplane to the RAID card and the blackplane itself.

The good news is that from the time I ask for them the parts are here in 2 hours! I'm impressed. -= grin =-
