  • Page 102: A Physical Disk Installation And Replacement

    A Physical disk installation and replacement This appendix discusses the procedure for replacing physical disks in an array. Overview When a physical disk fails, the logical drive it belongs to is affected. Each logical drive connected to a Smart Array Controller can be configured with a different RAID level. Logical drives can be affected differently by a physical disk failure, depending on their configured RAID level.

    Replace failed disks. After the failed disks are replaced, if fault tolerance is compromised, power the disk enclosure off and back on again. If you were not able to recover your data using the power-cycling procedure, you must restore your data from backup media. Run the sautil <device_file>...

  • Page 106: Automatic Data Recovery (Rebuild)

    To minimize the likelihood of fatal system errors, take these precautions when removing failed disks: Do not remove a degraded disk if another disk in the array is offline (the Online/Activity LED is off). In this situation, no other disk in the array can be removed without data loss. The following cases are exceptions: When RAID 1+0 is used, disks are mirrored in pairs.

  • Page 107: Abnormal Termination Of A Rebuild

    Availability of drive cache. Brand, model, and age of the disks. Amount of unused capacity on the disks. Number of disks in the array (for RAID 5 and RAID ADG). System performance is affected during the rebuild, and the system is unprotected against further disk failure until the rebuild has finished.
  • Page 108 Shut down and power off the server. Remove the replacement physical disk (the one undergoing a rebuild), and reinstall the disk that is being replaced. Power on the server. If the newly failed disk seems to be operational again: Back up unsaved data. Remove the disk that was to be replaced, and reinstall the replacement disk.

  • Page 109: B Logical Drive Failure Probability

    B Logical drive failure probability This appendix discusses the probability of logical drive failure. RAID level and probability of drive failure The probability that a logical drive will fail depends on the RAID level setting. A RAID 0 logical drive fails if only one physical disk fails.
