October 19, 20232 yr I have two parity drives, one of the drives shows that its disabled. However the disk is spinning and is warm when i pull the drive out from the hotswappable bay. I have a Supermicro 24Bay SAS3 based chassis, so its a sas3 card, no cables attached to the drives. attaching diagnostics and the screenshots. tower-diagnostics-20231018-2221.zip Edited October 20, 20232 yr by Socrates
October 19, 20232 yr Author Solution For now i have attempted the normal procedure to re-enable a drive, which is to start the array with it unassigned, stop the array, assign the drive back and let it rebuild parity. It shows both the parity drives are online, and rebuilding, i will let ya'll know if it fails and the parity goes back to disabled mode.
October 19, 20232 yr Community Expert You didn't need to re-sync parity1, if there are any errors grab the diags before rebooting.
October 19, 20232 yr Author Will do, right now the parity rebuild is at 40%, might complete in another 10-12 hrs, before i reboot i will grab the diags (just in case).
October 20, 20232 yr Author The issue has been resolved. Both the parity drives are online now after removing and readding and rebuilding (though unnessary as the mod mentioned).
