Failed RAID Array.
The server is a 2nd DC. And it was running Goldmine but few if any were using it. That was the story I was working with.
This cabinet had no backup. Nothing but some file backups from a while back.
I have made an ERD and Boot floppy and updated it from time to time.
The server logs were very quiet.
Then I get a call that the server is down. I go out there to the data center and see the red light on SCSI ID 2.
Well, there are not spares, so I find out from Compaq that they want 1,331 bucks for the drive.
So, my great hardware vendor locates one for $330.00 plus shipping.
I get the drive and pop it in.
Reboot and the Second one throughs an error. Compaq diagnostics say this one is bad now.
I shut down the server and reseat the Drive. Now, Drive Diagnostics says that the volume is rebuilding. Since it is a hardware RAID, there is hope.
So I let the rebuild process go over the weekend.
Now all drives are Green. I run the diagnostics and all Logical volumes and physical drives are good.
But the reboot, says "Operating system not found".
Booting from the floppy gives the "Missing NTOSKERL.exe" error.
I change the partition number in the boot.ini file of the floppy and still nothing.
I did notice from the Boot.ini file that this had been a NT 4.0 server and most likely upgraded.
So I go to my Repair process with my ERD. The machine blue screens with a 0x00000050 error.
I try the repair without the Floppy. Can't find a thing.
So I run the repair process to the Recovery console. It cannot access the C drive.
I called Compaq and they feel that since the SCSI ID: 1 had an error during the volume rebuild, it corrupted the logical volume.
If I do a paralell install of Win2k on the first logical volume, will I be able to access the 2nd volume?
