Logical drive is in Mirroring 1+0. So how can i replce the disk, plz suggest.

Pull the disk, insert a new disk and check with saconfig/sautil.

Hi,

Will this command work in Windows.

[Torsten.]

Ooops, I didn't see "windows".

However, change the disk and check with ACU.

Which Windows version?

[Md. Farhan A Azam]

Hi,

Windows 2003 with SP2.

Hi Azam,

the P400 will automatically rebuild the array when you remove the defective disk and insert a new one, this is a controller firmware feature and is independent of the OS running on that server.

In case the rebuild does not start automatically, then you can always start the ACU utility in Windows to see what's wrong i.e. but it should not be necessary under normal circumstances.
