Logical Drive Failed

[Scott Lewis_3]

We had a physical drive to fail on our Netserver LH II. Drive was replaced and rebuilt. No problems were encountered. After the drive was rebuilt, The Logical drive 1 started showing Failed on RAID 0. The other Logical drive 0 is RAID 5. Not sure where to go from here. We saw another string that said to use CTRL M and put the drive back online....but there seems no place in this utility to put the logical drive online...and there were also some concerns about doing this. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance!!

Hi
working on netraid configuration may be dangerous for your data, before to force on line a disk, the whole situation need to be analized.
please provvide complete disk config as youread it on the Netraid express tools or in the netraid assistant, you should see something like
A0-0 on-line
A0-1 fail
A0-2 on-line
A1-0 on-line
A1-1 on-line

This as I understand what you said. then need to know which disk has beed rebplaced and rebuild.

If this disk is the one of raid1, then in the situation I describe upper, you should not force the disk on-line, but you have to rebuild it.
You can only force it on-line if you never start your system with that raid degraded, and in that case ONLY, no data has been written to the on-line disk and not on the failed one, and you can consider the raid as consistent.

The new physical drive that we rebuilt is working fine it seems. It was rebuilt with no problems. It is the LOGICAL drive that says failed now. Thank you for your response! :-) Scott
