August 16, 20241 yr I had a power outage and once the power was back on, I started my server, and then started the array from my mobile phone. It appears the parity disk had some issues during boot, but I didn't notice on the small phone screen. Hence starting the array without investigating. Diagnostics attached in current state. Array is running, parity is disabled. Do I shut down server, check the cabling to the parity disk and boot it up again? IF logs are clear after reboot, how do I get the parity disk and array back into a working/protected state? tower-diagnostics-20240816-1354.zip Edited August 16, 20241 yr by Jorgen
August 16, 20241 yr Solution Once cabling is fixed and logs are clear 1. Stop the array 2. Unassign parity drive 3. Start the Array 4. Stop the Array 5. Assign the parity drive back 6. Start the Array ( this will start parity reconstruct)
August 16, 20241 yr Author Thanks! Having more power outages, will let that settle down before proceeding. Server is currently off after power cut. Need to get that UPS....
August 18, 20241 yr Author Disk errors gone after cable reseating and reboot, 26 hours parity rebuild completed without errors. Phew.
