<p class=MsoNormal>Hopefully someone has gone through this before, because I
can’t believe what I’m hearing from HP. Basically, during one of
our maintenance windows I pulled a set of drives from our Unity server, powered
it back up and left the server rebuilding. The second Array never rebuilt
itself, and I didn’t realize until a couple weeks later. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I went into the ACU and saw that the Drive array Accelerator
battery was bad and needed to be replaced. The 2<sup>nd</sup> Array had a
status of “Waiting to rebuild”.” I googled the error and saw
that the firmware might be reporting the wrong error and needed to be updated.
So I went and updated to the latest firmware from HP and the error went away,
but my Array was still stuck in “Waiting to rebuild.” I called TAC
they opened a case with HP and they sent me a replacement battery, replaced
still same thing. Contacted TAC and HP again and sent HP my ACU logs. The
engineer looked them over and said the disk set is trying to rebuild itself but
there are errors or corrupted data on my active drive that hasn’t
triggered as faulty hardware yet and I need to replace that drive.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>So my drive which is good enough to boot and run for weeks
is not good enough to mirror. SO HP wants me to replace the only drive that
has current data and is running fine. There are no errors in ACU for this
drive but according to HP this drive should fail soon.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Has anyone run into this before? Is there a way to force
the rebuild before I replace this drive? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I am running this on a HP DL380 G4, Smart Array 6i RAID
controller. This is Cisco’s MCS-7845-H1-ECS1.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks.<o:p></o:p></p>
