Observe which drive light is blinking. This is the disk that you
need to replace. If no lights are blinking, this could mean one
of the following:
a
The disk is still connected but has failed so badly that it
cannot respond to the Blink command. Try blinking the
drive lights of the array disks that have not failed. You may
be able to determine by a process of elimination which disk
has failed.
b
The disk has been removed or its power cord or SCSI cable
has been disconnected.
If an array disk has been disconnected or removed but the
server has not been rebooted, the icon for this disk will still
appear in the Storage Configuration window. If you know
that the disk was disconnected accidentally and has not
actually failed, reconnect the drive and issue the Rescan
command. You can reconstruct the array by issuing the
Reconstruct command.
If the system has been rebooted since the disk was
disconnected, the disk will not appear. To determine if a
disk is "missing" from an array, right-click the array icon,
select Information from the drop-down menu, and read the
Status field at the top of the Array Information dialog box. If
this field says Missing member, a disk is missing from the
array.
