Hello,

we have a PowerEdge R510 server with Perc H700 Raid controller  installed, configured to run with Raid-5. So far we have configured 2 virtual disks. The first virtual disk consists of 4 hdd x 2 TB each, configured with Raid-5.

The second virtual disk has 4 hdds  x 3 TB each. 

We have noticed that 2 hard disks (of 2 TB each), from the first pool, blink orange. We run the ESET tool,  and smart tool (the server runs centos), and get from the report, that the hard disks are in predicted failure. Also from the report we noticed that the battery of the controller is in failed state

What are the proper steps to follow to replace the battery and the drives?

Best regards

Maria
