Press one of the following keys:
F2 Detailed description. Press this key for a detailed
description of the problem, such as the example
messages above.
F4 Retry. Press this key after correcting the problem.
For example, press F4 after you move the
physical drive to its previously assigned location,
or after you install the original physical drives
back in the server.
F5 Change the configuration and set the drive to
defunct. Press this key to accept the new state
that the ServeRAID controller will assign to the
drive. For example, the ServeRAID controller will
assign the drive a state of defunct or empty.
Note: A physical drive in the defunct state does
not necessarily mean that you need to replace
the drive. Before you replace the drive, ensure
that:
1. All cables are connected properly to the
backplane or system board, and to the
physical drive. Also, ensure that all cables
inside the server are connected properly.
2. The hot-swap drive trays are seated properly
in the drive bay.
3. If multiple drives fail in separate arrays (one
physical drive per array), then replace each of
the defunct physical drives. If multiple physical
drives fail at the same time within the same
array, contact your IBM service
representative. See "Rebuilding a defunct
drive" on page 147 for more information.
After you perform these steps, if the physical
drive does not function properly, replace the drive.
