Hi,
I have got the following situation on an HP Proliant DL380 G5 Server with RAID1 on Smart Array Controller P400.
One disk in the array faild, so it has to be replaced by a new one. The disk change was procedured while the system was running and the rebuild of the array starts normaly immediately after the disk was inserted. The HP Array configuratin utillity says also, that evrything works well. But the LEDs on the front of the new disks iritate me a little.
The left LED (status) is much brighter than the status LED on the other older disks in this server. It seems also that the status LED on the new disk is not so green as the other stutus LEDs on the older disks. The light of the status LED on this new disk looks more warm white than green. It seems also so that the right LED (error / uid) is blinking a little bit green. But not half so bright like the left one. However the blink frequency of the status LED on the new disk synchronous with the other status LEDs from disks of this array. Does anybody know whether there is a problem? Is this critical? The HP manual don't help me in this case.
Here are the part numbers of the disks:
Old disk No. was: 418367-B21
New disk ´No is: 507125-B21
Can anybody help me? Sorry for my bad english, english isn't my mother tounge.
