SSA RAID Adapter, SSA, and RAID

An array is in the Offline state if at least one
member disk drive of the array is present, but more
than one member disk drive is missing. Such a
condition can occur if at least two disk drives in the
array have failed, or are not available to the array
at this time.
Are any disk drives missing or without power, or
have any disk drives been recabled (not
necessarily by you)?
NO YES

You must now restore the original
configuration. Follow the instructions at the
right.
Either more than one disk drive has failed, or an
array that is not complete has been connected to
the SSA RAID Adapter.
If no disk drives have been added to this
system, go to step 9.
If one or more disk drives have been added to this
system, and those disk drives were previously
members of an array on this system or on another
system, you must do the following:
• Go to "Running the SSA Configurator" on
page 129 and follow the procedure for
Deleting a Resource.
• Select the array that is in the Offline state, and
delete it. That array is now a free resource.
• Go to "Running the SSA Configurator" on
page 129, follow the procedure to Delete a
resource and remove all the disk drives from
the array. You can now use those disk drives
as free resources.
• Locate and repair all failed disk drives, and
make those disk drives available for the
creation of a new array.
Go to step 9.

Service Guide
Start the SSA Configurator and Service Aids Utility
(see "Using the SSA Configurator Functions" on
page 128).
• From the Main menu, select SSA Adapter
List.
• Select the SSA Adapter from the list.
• From the SSA Adapter menu select System

The status of the array changes to Good when
the adapter can find all the member disk drives
of the array. If the status does not change, call
for assistance.
