2 HDDs failed in array

[Chris Holmes_3]

Is it possible to clear the failed light/status on an Ultra320 drive running on a 6400 Array Controller.
I have 2 failed drives in a Raid5 array.

Hi Chris!

It's not clear what do you want... If you had 2 failed drives on array with Logical Drive with RAID 5 level and there is no hot-spare disk - your loss all data. To clear failed lights - just replace hard drives

Again, not sure exactly what you mean because your array is more than likely trashed.

However, I have found that a single drive that is showing RED, if removed and reinstalled can temporarily turn back to GREEN and start to rebuild. This may not be of help to you as you have lost two disks.

If you are desparate and have nothing to lose then you might want to try doing this with just ONE disk at first to see what happens. If it miraculously starts to work again then try with the other disk.

However don't hold your breath because if the RED lights are showing true and the disks have broken then you need to replace the failed disks and restore the data from a backup. Thats in most good manuals.

You should really be prepared for this and have access to spare disks and take backups.
