P2000 G3 not recognizing new disks

[PabloMC]

Hello Everyone,
Good afternon, I have a P2000 G3 with three vdisks, two harddrives are lost and  I replaced them with new disks.
I add them as global spare (Drives in position 1.5 and 1.14) but I can make the Vdisk to take them and begin to reconstruct.
Can you help me?
Thanks!

Pablo

The vdisk is offline. One disk failed for RAID 0 or NRAID, three disks failed for RAID 6, or two disks failed for other RAID levels. The vdisk cannot be reconstructed.
- The CLI 'trust' command may be able to recover some or all of the data on the vdisk.
- Replace the failed disk or disks. (Look for event 8 in the event log to determine which disks failed.)
- To prevent this problem in the future, use a fault-tolerant RAID level and configure one or more disks as spare disks.

Hi,
maybe, that another one has better news for you, but what I see, is that the VDISK is Dead and there is no possibility to bring it online again.

You need to recreate everything and restore Data from Backup.
Your VDISK is Raid 5, and R5 only tolerates 1 failed Drive at the same time.

"show vdisks" will help

If you have no Backup, maybe there is a small possibility to reconstruct with the "trust" command, but it is hot and you should be assisted by HPE Support.

Thanks a lot Cali, I spoke with HPE Support, they help me to reconstruct the vdisk. But now I have it in QTOF.

I will contact them again.

Cheers,

Pablo
