Disk failure within a RAID 1 array.

[Martin Duchval]

Hi,



We had a problem with disks on a PE 1950 : The orange led is blinking.
So I installed srvadmin-all 5.5 for my system (RHEL 5.3).

I can indeed see that I have a trouble with a disk :

So I tried to rebuild the faulty disk :
______________________________________________________________________
omconfig storage pdisk action=rebuild controller=0 pdisk=0:0:1
Operation disabled. Read, action=rebuild
.Refer to the documentation for more information.
______________________________________________________________________
But the command seems to be all right according to the documentation.
______________________________________________________________________
omconfig storage pdisk -?
[...]
action=rebuild
    Required parameters are:
        controller=id
        pdisk=<PDISKID>
    where PDISKID=<connector:enclosureID:portID | connector:targetID>
rebuilds the given physical disk
[...]

What should I do to correct this error ?


Thank you,
Michel
