HP Proliant DL560 - RAID Disks mount order

manicaps1 · ‎03-08-2017

Hi all,

I have sent my client's HP proliant DL560 server for service to HP service center as it was restarting automatically. Before that I have removed HDD's on the server which had 2 RAID (mirror) disks. I have noted the HDD mounting order on the HDD itself. But now I am not confident that I have noticed the mounting sequence correctly. Today I am going to receive the server and re install it in my client's office. How can I identify the HDD mounting order manually before I fix it to the server ? Is that possible ? What if I swap the mounting order of HDD's ? Can anybody advise ?

You don't really have a choice ... put them in, the controller will either accept the disks or tell you, they are in a wrong order.

Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Thank you. Luckily what I have noted on the disk when I removed is correct and the server is running fine now.
