Chapter 11 Troubleshooting Hard Drive Fails Often Problem: One of the hard drives in the array fails often. Suggested solutions: • Check the drive error counts using HP NetRAID Assistant Physical Drive Properties. Be aware that the drive error counter clears if the drive is moved or powered off while the adapter remains powered on. • Format the drive. • Rebuild the drive. • If the drive continues to fail, replace the drive with another drive with the same capacity, and rebuild. System Hangs When Scanning Devices for New Configuration Problem: Ran HP NetRAID Express Tools or HP NetRAID Config and tried to make a new configuration. The system hangs when scanning devices. Suggested solutions: • Check the drives' SCSI IDs on each channel to make sure each device has a different ID. • Check the cables for bent pins. Management Menu Not Displayed Problem: Running HP NetRAID Express Tools or HP NetRAID Config does not display the Management Menu. Suggested solution: Use a color monitor. Garbled Screen Problem: At system power-up with the adapter installed, the screen display is garbled. Suggested solution: At least 1 MB of memory must be installed before power-up. For the HP NetRAID adapter, it must occupy bank 0, the lower memory socket. For proper cache memory operation, you should have at least 4 MB of memory in the adapter. 124
