poweredge r510

Umihen,

Do you just have Physical Disks in a failed state, or is the Virtual Disk also in a failed state as well?

Also, what is the current Raid configuration?

We will need to answer these prior to knowing the proper steps to take forward.

Let us know/

I have a raid 1 and raid 5.  Its the physical disks that I changed in the failed state. The virtual disk that is  a raid 5 is in the degraded state.

Also I am trying to upgrade the Dell OpenManage Server Application.  I would like to know which is the lastest version for the r510 running on windows.

what about firmware?

what if the drive was not put in the offline state before removing?

Best practices call for the drive to be put offline before removing, but it is not necessary ... think of a real-world drive failure - it won't put it offline before it dies.

Forcing the drive offline isn't a requirement as TheFlash1932 had stated, unless the drive is flagged as a Predicted Failure, which you would force the drive offline prior to replacing to keep from transfer bad blocks across the Virtual Disk.

would the reason the drives failed be because they weren't dell certified but the same hard drive part number and model I copied off of omsa.

The perc h700 firmware version is 12.10.7-0001.

Thank you. That is the most current version. Where the drives ever functional in the server, or were they just added and showing failed?

The drives wouldn't show as failed if they were only seen as non-certified, they would likely be displayed as Unknown. Now if the controller is up to date on firmware then a non certified drive wouldn't be the issue. What is the controllers firmware version at currently?

Also, was this drive working before, or has it never worked in this server before?

SAS-Drive_Firmware_C1MY4_WN32_KS6B_A06.EXE do I need to do this to the on the hard drive so it works with the perc h700
