Hi there,
I have a HP ML350 G5 where we have replaced a failing HD in a Raid 5 array of 3 disks, the replacement drive has synchronised but in ACU it still shows a information alert for the Parity Initialization Status (currently at 0% and has been for the last 4 days since the drive was changed).
If I view the Information Status Messages I get a Code 785; Background parity initialization is currently queued or in progress on Logical Drive 1 (136.7 GB, RAID 5). If background parity initialization is queued, it will start when I/O is performed on the drive. When background parity initialization completes, the performance of the logical drive will improve.
I need to change another drive soon as it is displaying F155: The read/write hard error rate recorded in the monitor and performance log is above the acceptable threshold.
However I daren't change another drive until the parity sync is complete, does anyone have any thoughts as to futher actoin I should take?
Thanks in advance
