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

[Hedwig5]

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?

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):

Hello,

Generate a new ADU report. and check if the array, logical drive and physical drive statut is Ok.

Sincerly,

[Hedwig5]

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.
