ServeRAID Adapter Messages
Configured Drives are Missing
When the ServeRAID adapter detects that a previously configured
drive is missing, the following message appears:
old state: new state: ch: bay
where old state is the configured state of the drive, new state is the
state that the ServeRAID adapter will assign to the drive, ch and bay
are the channel and bay where the drive was located previously.
Examples of the possible state changes include:
(ONL: DDD x: y)
(RDY: EMP x: y)
(SBY: EMP x: y)
(RBL: DDD x: y)
(HSP: DHS x: y)
(SHS: DHS x: y)
Two choices will follow this message:
F4 Retry. Select this key after correcting a problem. For
example, select retry after you turn on the external
storage enclosure that contains the hard disk drive.
F5 Select this key to accept the new state that the
ServeRAID adapter will assign to the drive. For
example, the adapter will assign the drive a state of
defunct or empty.
You can also select F5 when you must remove a drive,
RAID level 1 and RAID level 5 logical drives are present,
and performance in a degraded mode is acceptable. The
ServeRAID adapter will assign the drive a state of
defunct, but the server can complete startup. However,
the array will remain in Critical mode and the potential
for data loss will exist until you replace and rebuild the
defunct drive. To prevent the loss of data, replace and
rebuild the defunct drive in a timely manner.
