Hi,
Do I have any chance to prevent data loss in the following scenario?
1. I've started our old server after it has been switched off for a long time only to discover that it won't start any more.
I get an error regarding "Array Accelerator Battery Charge Low" (see attached image1) and another error regarding failed disk drive in Box 1, Bay 3 (see attached image1).
2. At this point one HD has its green light (bay 2) on and the other HDs have their lights off (bay 1 and 3).
Trying to continue from here results in a disk error (see attached image2).
3. At this point the HD in bay 3 has its amber light on and the HD in bay1 has still its light off (see attached image4).
4. The logical drive is displayed as failed (see image3)
5. When I replace the HD in bay 3 with a new fresh one and restart the server, I'm prompted with the choice to accept data loss and re-enable logical drive(s) (see image4).
6. At this point all three HD's have their green lights on.
Why am I being asked to accept data loss (I have three HD's in Raid 5 with one having been replaced)? Does this mean that a second HD is also failing (probably the HD in bay which had its light off at point 3)? Why are all lights green then?
I'm grateful for any help.
Regards
