I have an older server that I am running Windows 2003 and exchange 2003. Last night I had 2 of my 5 hard drives fail on me. I am running a raid 5 each of the hard drives are 9.1 GB.
I found a source for replacing the hard drives but I am wondering if it is possible for the server to rebuild the 2 failed drives? I am also wondering what kind of steps would be involved, and things that I should look out for? At this point the Server will not boot, it comes to the message that I need to replace the drive(s) in bank 0 and 4.
In the meantime I am going to setup Windows 2003 and Exchange 2003 on a spare PC that I have laying around so that we can recieve emails while I work on recovery.
Any insight into this situation would be greatly appreciated. I am going post an alternate email address for people to respond to seeing that my current server is dead.
