Reactivate offline Array or down HD

Locked

by hdd2002 · about 22 years ago

I have 4 hard drives, 3 are member of Adaptec 131U2 Raid 5 and 1 is the spare.
=================
A while ago, ID1 & ID3 were down, ID2 is OK.
In fact, ID1 motor stopped and NOW it comes back. How do I force the ID1 down status back online? I should reconstruct the Raid from ID1 and ID2.
=======================
By the way, all the command CI/O is gray and I can reconstruct hard drive and reactivate the offline array.
============================
Is there one unversal Raid utility for all the different Raid controller card?
——————–
Are any more flexible and better Raid card to allow me to force to turn down hard drive to up, force to turn offline array to online manually as I know ID1 is OK physically?

————–
Thanks

  From my experience, if you are having problems with more than 1 drive in a RAID 5 configuration, you will probably not be able to rebuild. If your RAID software doesn’t let you put an array online it might be because of a hardware issue. Sorry I can’t help you here much.

    ====================
    I know that IBM Raid Configuration disk can force the Array online. But Adaptec one does not or I do not know how.
    =====================
    I should reconstruct the Raid from ID1 and ID2 as they are OK physically.

    Thanks for your answer.
