ML350 G4p RAID5 Array becomes degraded
What is happening is the Drive connected on Port 2 consistanly becomes degraded. We have replaced the drives 3 times. Replaced the SATA controller and even the backplane and the problem still continues to happen.
The HP technicians have told me that there is some kind of corruption on the RAID5 array. It seems like they are really just speculating but I wondered other than backing up the RAID5 array and deleting and recreating the array is there anything else that I can try.
Also do i need to reload the entire OS on the 80GB mirrored set? This never fails but they are suggesting I start from scratch. I don't have a problem doing this but it is just going to take more effort.
Any suggestions or further explanation of why this might be happening would be welcomed.
Thanks,
Jon A

#1 Is the Server on the latest Firmware ??
You may Download the Firmware Maintenance CD 7.91 & boot the Server; This will ensure that all components including Controller & Hard Drives are on the Latest firmware levels.
#2 Have you replaced the Cables yet ? You may wanna try them too.
Regards.

Re: ML350 G4p RAID5 Array becomes degraded
The technician suggested after I back everything up I run diagnostics on the 500GB sata drives... I don't think he means the SATA utilities on the bios... is there a commercial tool or HP supplied tool to test the drives sector by sector?
Thanks,
Jon
