Hi all,
I have an HP microserver Gen8 that has been running fine for years. Time for HDD upgrades!
I bought a few 14tb drives for the upgrade but am having issues.
First I upgraded my parity drive. It went fine and took about 18 hours.
Now I am trying to remove a 3tb and am having trouble.
Steps taken
- ran parity check.
- turned off all my docker auto starts
- turned off my array auto start
- powered off server
- replaced 3tb drive with 14tb drive.
Powered on server.
Here's where the problems begin.
The slot where the 3TB used to be is empty as expected - I try to add the 14tb from the pull down menu, but when I do so it disappears and is now listed as an "Unassigned Drive".
It is unable to be mounted and says Array with a circle and slash (words greyed out)
Any ideas how I can get this into the array?
Both drives are supposed to be 14tb. Is it possible that this one is a few bytes larger than the parity drive? If so how can I find out?
Thanks in advance
Rob
