my raid controller on my netfinity 5600 server died today. and defunct 3 of my drives. i have a 6 drive config. RAID 5. the first 5 drives are an array. the last drive is a hot swap.
i replaced the raid controller card, but i need to be able to config the new card without losing the data on my array. HELP ME PLEASE.
i have gone into the IBM serverraid mini config utility during bootup and told the card to copy the coniguration from the drives. when i did that htey defunct the same 3 drives again.. what am i missing here? i dont wana rebuild the server. anything else i can try?
i have tried to power down server, re seat the drives, re seat the controller. convinced the controller is dead.
