PERC 3 Si - 2450

[Paul A]

Patrick, 

 

Thanks for the reply but how exactly do I make this change, I'm using ver
2.1.8 I believe. 

Is this to most common way of rebuilding a failed disk. Shouldn't it
automatically rebuild itself without my intervention ?

 

Also not to bother you, but is there a good resource on PERC 3 Si.

 

Thanks, Paul

 

 

The simplest way is to assign the first disk as a hotspare to the container.
This will rebuild the container.

I have an older poweredge 2450 that I will be using as a webmail server with
centos.

I was playing around with it, so I can familiarize myself with it and
understand what to do if I got a failed disk.

I set this server up as raid one and installed centos without any problem. I
then, on purpose, formatted the 1st HD and restated the system. It did
exactly what I thought it would, it restarted and worked using the second
HD.

Now this is where I'm lost and I have tried everything and I cant see to get
this working. 

How do I repair the 1st disk ?

When I boot the container warning me about a missing member and when I press
control + a under the container I see, 

Container status: Critical with missing member. I read the missing member is
what I want in order to repair the disk. 

Some of the documents I looked at talk about CLI software, but I would
rather repair it, if possible using the container utility.

 

TIA, P
