Hi
I have a HP RAID server with 8 physical drives. The first 2 are configured as RAID 1 & the other 6 are RAID 5. One of the RAID 5 drives has failed. I have swapped the drive for a brand new drive and it begins to sync and reaches 100% but then shows failed and says waiting for sync.
How do i resolve this? One of my collegues thinks that there is a problem with another drive but if thats true i will have to rebuild the array, this is not the end of the world but i want to make sure i have done everything i can to prevent the downtime.
The only differnce i noticed is that the new drive i was sent was 300Gb and all the other drives in the server are 146Gb. Could this be an issue? I thought as long as its bigger than the existing drives it should be ok.
Any advice would be welcome.
Thanks
Lee
