Best way to revive server?

[mittygritty]

Hi Team,

 

A few days ago we had a power outtage, and although I had a battery backup, seems the backup also has failed for whatever reason, and how I cannot log into my server. I did notice at one point a hard drive had died, and was waiting to order a replacement but now I can't even login. This is the screen I'm getting (see attached).

 

At this point unless I can log in and replace the hard drive and all that, what would be the best way to repair?

First screen shot is the log in screen, second is when I try and log in.

Try booting in safe mode and/or recreating the flash drive.

hi @JorgeB Good call, I was able to boot in safe mode fine. 

Right now I'm in maintenance mode, and doing a check to see if there's any issues. Do you recommend anything else to prevent? I haven't put the array on line yet as the check is still going on but once the check is done, is there anything else I should do before trying to put the array online again?

Attach diagnostics to your NEXT post in this thread.

Thanks trurl.

 

Parity check done and no errors. Attached is the diagnostics now that the check is complete.

Hey everyone, just wanted to check in if theres an update on this.

Start the array with disk3 unassigned and post new diagnostics.

 

Do you have a spare to rebuild disk3 to?

Yes just bought a spare. 

I took the array offline, ensured Disk 3 said unassigned, and then took the array back online. The photo is what my Main tab looks like and then I ran diagnostics again.

Were those disks unmountable before? Disk3 is filling up the log with ATA errors, try swapping cables with another disk to confirm if it's really failing and post new diags.
