HP smart array raid doesn't boot, after reboot all is ok

Hi!

 

I have a ML350 G6 server with a problem. The raid doesn't boot properly when started via hardware button. A reboot seems to cure the problem. Did already change the mainboard and raid battery. What else can be the cause?

 

The raid blinks blue - green - red - green one time while booting in the error cause. Did upgrade to HP Service Pack 2014.09, nothing changed :(

 

How could I solve this?

Re: HP smart array raid doesn't boot, after reboot all is ok

Hello,

 

When i check the ADU report, i seen any hardware issue. But the P410i firmware is not updated 6.00 version. Please update without SPP. Choose your OS and update the Smart Array controller last version (6.60):

Re: HP smart array raid doesn't boot, after reboot all is ok

I fear that this ok doesn't say much. All values were ok till the moment the drive really failed. I would like to have something of like a forecast.
