  • Page 26: Spare Disks

    Spare disks Spares are disks that are not active members of any particular array, but have been configured to be used when a disk in one of the arrays fails. If a spare is present, it will immediately be used to begin rebuilding the information that was on the failed disk, using parity information from the other member disks.
  • Page 27: Preparing The Site

    Calculate the total weight of your equipment and verify that your site can support the weight. For HPE ProLiant server environments, consider using Rack Builder, a software tool that provides a simplified method to planning and configuring racks and rack-mountable products.

    Management CD.) ADU lists all failed drives. Operating System log files For additional information about diagnosing disk drive problems, see the HPE ProLiant Servers Troubleshooting Guide. Effects of a disk drive failure When a disk drive fails, all logical drives that are in the same array are affected. Each logical drive in an array might be using a different fault-tolerance method, so each logical drive can be affected differently.
  • Page 53: Automatic Data Recovery (Rebuild)

    To minimize the likelihood of fatal system errors, take these precautions when removing failed drives: Do not remove a degraded drive if any other drive in the array is offline (the online LED is off). In this situation, no other drive in the array can be removed without data loss. Exceptions: ◦...
  • Page 54: Failure Of Another Drive During Rebuild

    System performance is affected during the rebuild, and the system is unprotected against further drive failure until the rebuild has finished. Therefore, replace drives during periods of low activity when possible. CAUTION: If the Online LED of the replacement drive stops blinking and the amber fault LED glows, or if other drive LEDs in the array go out, the replacement drive has failed and is producing unrecoverable disk errors.
