Alexandro Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Hi guys, Needed to replace a Supermicro SASLP-MV8 with a DELL Perc H310 controller. When I started the array disk 2 came with a redball and consequently the Unraid disabled it. I have opened the case and discovered that the SFF8087 wasn't fitted well into the controller - causing a bad connection to the disabled Disk2. I need someone to confirm the steps I took in order to resolve the situation. 1. I have stopped the array. 2. Unassigned disk2 and started the array. 3. Stopped the array and assigned the drive again. 4. Started the array. 5. The rebuild have started. Is there something stupid I have done? Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 That sounds right for rebuilding onto the same disk. Do a parity check after the rebuild. Are the SMART attributes OK? Quote Link to comment
garycase Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 You've done the right thing since the disk was red-balled. Had it simply been "missing" you could have just re-seated it and all should have been well; but once it's taken out of the array (red-balled) you indeed have to rebuild it. IF the disk is okay, the rebuild onto itself should work just fine. If there are any errors during the rebuild, then you'll need to get a new disk and rebuild onto that instead. Quote Link to comment

Alexandro Posted May 10, 2015 Author Share Posted May 10, 2015 Happy to report that the rebuild went successful. No errors have been reported. A non-corrections parity check is in progress. Thanks again for your help. Quote Link to comment
