RAID – Dell PowerEdge 2800 Logic Disk Fault: Any possible recovery?

I have noticed a problem with the server.

Microsoft updates that are usually downloaded but waiting to be installed may cause this problem.

Before applying the update and restarting, I ran a few diagnostic tests on the hardware and everything turned green. Both hard drives showed green lights

Then I chose “Install update and restart”.

After restarting, after the’SCSI scan’ reached 100%, the two hard drives immediately changed from green to flashing amber, and the “1 logical drive found/failed” error message appeared.

p>

I tried to reinstall the drive without any changes.

I installed two new drives in slots 2 and 3 (the two original drives are still in slots 0 and 1 )

Can I rebuild/restore anything at this time?

If there are any possible steps I will lose before reinstalling the operating system on the two new drives and starting from scratch, I would really appreciate someone let me go to school before I kill any recovery opportunities.

Thank you.

Well, 2800 is quite old now, but, If you publish the raid configuration and report the status of the disk in the scsi controller B IOS, it will help. Generally speaking, the drive may be okay (they did pass the diagnosis, right? You run it from support.dell.com Dell pediags / onlineDiags?) You may only need to restore the array and possibly update the controller and disk firmware, but without any information, it is difficult to guide you through the required steps
