Drive failure in a NetWare environment

Use CPQONLIN to identify and monitor drive failure status in a NetWare
environment.

Failed drives or interim recovery mode

If a drive fails and hardware fault tolerance is enabled, operation continues. Do
the following:
1. Replace the drive as soon as possible.
2. Select a logical drive.
3. Press the F3 key to monitor to the status of drive recovery.
Drive status messages include:
•
Interim Recovery: The logical drive is operating, but a failed drive has not
been replaced. Replace the drive as soon as possible.
•
Ready for Recovery: The logical drives are queued for recovery. This status
is displayed when another logical drive is already rebuilding or expanding.
•
Rebuilding: The array is operating and rebuilding a replacement drive or an
online spare, if one was assigned.
•
Logical Drive Failed: If you have one or more logical drives that are not
protected by fault tolerance in an array, the data on these logical drives will
be lost. ACU shows the logical drives as FAILED. After drive replacement,
any fault-tolerant logical drives rebuild. The logical drives that were not
protected (FAILED) become available for data (the devices are reactivated
automatically). If you have a backup of the data, restore the data now.
If you do not replace the failed drive, the only option, using ACU, is to delete
logical drives. Do not delete logical drives that contain valid data. Doing so
results in data loss.
NOTE: A failed status can occur on drives protected by fault tolerance
if two or more physical drives fail concurrently.
