Table D-5 Abnormal Termination Causes - HP Integrity rx6600 User's & Service Manual

Abnormal Termination of a Rebuild
If the Online/Activity LED on the replacement drive permanently ceases to be illuminated even while other
drives in the array are active, the rebuild process has abnormally terminated.
Table D-5 indicates the three possible causes of abnormal termination of a rebuild.
Table D-5 Abnormal Termination Causes
Observation
None of the drives in the array have an
illuminated amber Fault LED.
The replacement drive has an illuminated
amber Fault LED.
One of the other drives in the array has an
illuminated amber Fault LED.
Each of these situations requires a different remedial action. Follow the appropriate action for your particular
situation.
Case 1: An uncorrectable read error has occurred.
Step 1. Back up as much data as possible from the logical drive.
CAUTION
Step 2. Restore data from backup. Writing data to the location of the unreadable sector often eliminates
the error.
Step 3. Remove and reinsert the replacement drive. This action restarts the rebuild process
If the rebuild process still terminates abnormally, follow these steps:
Step 1. Delete and recreate the logical drive.
Step 2. Restore data from backup.
Case 2: The replacement drive has failed
Verify that the replacement drive is of the correct capacity and is a supported model. If these factors are not
the cause of the problem, use a different drive as the replacement.
Case 3: Another drive in the array has failed.
You can make a drive that has recently failed temporarily operational again. To cycle the server power, follow
these steps:
Step 1. Power off the server.
Step 2. Remove the replacement physical drive (the one undergoing a rebuild), and reinstall the drive that
it is replacing.
Step 3. Power on the server.
Appendix D
Do not remove the drive that has the media error. Doing so causes the logical drive to
fail.
Cause of Rebuild Termination
None of the drives in the array have an illuminated
amber Fault LED.
The replacement drive has failed.
The drive with the illuminated Fault LED has now
failed.
