Hi everyone, 

 

I need help with some issues I am experiencing. 

As you can see, it is PowerEdge R430 Server, 4x 1TB HDD inside and not working. 

First message after Server rebooting it self was: 

Virtual Drive:(00), Raid10, 1906688MB, Offline - Discard Cache 

With that message I could do anything until I have discarded cache. No F2, F10 - Nothing - he skips everything and jumps there. No reaction what so ever. So, when I did Discard Cache - real problems started. 

 

After rebooting the server - options such F2 and rest are working but only after this message: 

The Following VDs have missing diska: 00 

If you proceed ( or load config utility ) will be marked OFFLINE and inaccessible. 

 

SO where ever I search, I am coming to the thing: your HDD is gone. Well, nope - all 4 are working just fine. They are all on, all loading and showing on another servers even desktop machines. But in Config utility - I can see only one ( Disk 3 ) all others are missing. No LED are showinf amber - and if anything, LED's are showing ( blinking ) without order and explanation in user manual. 

 

So - now, I would kindly ask if it is possible from someone to help me with probable solutions - Since it was Raid 10, and only 4 slots for disks, I did not have Hot Swap disk. 

I am wandering what will happen if I delete Virtual and create new one - will it mess with data on drives? 

Please, help  

Thank you
