Removal and Replacement Procedures ATA Drive Failure Scenarios IMPORTANT: This section applies only to ATA models of the server. When a drive fails: • Insight Manager notifies you of the drive failure. • If applicable to the operating system, the RAID status icon changes from green to red to indicate that a problem exists. The icon is represented as a round figure wearing sunglasses and is located in the tray bar at the lower right of the screen. • Some operating systems also write to the console and/or a log file. IMPORTANT: Some operating systems do not display the RAID status icon or the icon may display differently. The following sections provide instructions for rebuilding an array when a drive fails. RAID 0 Configurations A drive failure in a RAID 0 configuration causes data loss across the entire array. To recover from a drive failure, the array must be rebuilt from scratch. To rebuild the array: 1. Determine the failed drive by viewing the information provided at Power-On Self Test (POST) and in the Integrated ATA RAID Configuration Utility by pressing the F8 key. 2. Replace the failed drive. Refer to "Hard Drives" in this chapter. 3. Reboot the server and configure the array using the menu options in the Integrated ATA RAID Configuration Utility by pressing the F8 key. Refer to "Integrated ATA RAID Configuration Utility" in this chapter for information on the utility menu options. RAID 1 Configurations NOTE: This configuration is the only one where a spare pool configuration has any value. A spare provides a means by which a failed drive in a RAID 1 configuration can be rebuilt online. In a RAID 1 configuration, use the following scenarios depending on whether an online spare is configured. When an online spare is configured, the auto-rebuild process occurs without user intervention, removing the failed drive from the array and adding the spare to the array. To reconfigure the online spare: 1. Replace the failed drive. Refer to "Hard Drives" in this chapter. 2. Run the Integrated ATA RAID Configuration Utility by pressing the F8 key. 3. Configure the drive as a spare. 2-24 HP ProLiant ML330 Generation 3 Server Maintenance and Service Guide HP CONFIDENTIAL Codename: Flashback Part Number: 322375-004 Last Saved On: 1/5/04 11:38 AM

Removal and Replacement Procedures
ATA Drive Failure Scenarios
IMPORTANT:
This section applies only to ATA models of the server.
When a drive fails:
•
•
•
Insight Manager notifies you of the drive failure.
If applicable to the operating system, the RAID status icon changes from green to red to
indicate that a problem exists. The icon is represented as a round figure wearing
sunglasses and is located in the tray bar at the lower right of the screen.
Some operating systems also write to the console and/or a log file.
IMPORTANT:
Some operating systems do not display the RAID status icon or the icon may display
differently.
The following sections provide instructions for rebuilding an array when a drive fails.
RAID 0 Configurations
A drive failure in a RAID 0 configuration causes data loss across the entire array. To recover
from a drive failure, the array must be rebuilt from scratch. To rebuild the array:
1.
Determine the failed drive by viewing the information provided at Power-On Self Test
(POST) and in the Integrated ATA RAID Configuration Utility by pressing the
F8
key.
2.
Replace the failed drive. Refer to “Hard Drives” in this chapter.
3.
Reboot the server and configure the array using the menu options in the Integrated ATA
RAID Configuration Utility by pressing the
F8
key.
Refer to “Integrated ATA RAID Configuration Utility” in this chapter for information on the
utility menu options.
RAID 1 Configurations
NOTE:
This configuration is the only one where a spare pool configuration has any value. A spare
provides a means by which a failed drive in a RAID 1 configuration can be rebuilt online.
In a RAID 1 configuration, use the following scenarios depending on whether an online spare
is configured.
When an online spare is configured, the auto-rebuild process occurs without user
intervention, removing the failed drive from the array and adding the spare to the array.
To reconfigure the online spare:
1.
Replace the failed drive. Refer to “Hard Drives” in this chapter.
2.
Run the Integrated ATA RAID Configuration Utility by pressing the
F8
key.
3.
Configure the drive as a spare.
