Damaged RAID-5 drive on g6

Hi,

I have a proliant ml350 g6 with a 3 Drive RAID 5 configuration. apparently one drive failed, how do I proceed with;

  1.  Determining which drive failed (I think I know which drive it is.. but not sure)
  2.  Adding a new drive and reconfiguring the server to be usable.

At this time the server is not bootable.

Any help will be appriciated.

 

Here is the error I see

Re: Damaged RAID-5 drive on g6

This is not a single failed drive.

There are probably read errors on at least 2 drives or even on all 3 drives.

Do you have a good backup?

Restore it now.


Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: Damaged RAID-5 drive on g6

I am now running off a backup. Should I just get 3 new drives and do a fresh start?
