OT: Raid-5 panic - hints for restauration?
Hello,
for more than 2 years, we run a FS TX150 Primacy Server with 4x38GB SCSI
platters that are driven by an Adaptec RAID controller in Mode 5.
Yesterday I saw casually that one of the green lights had turned to
orange (it was during one of those guided tours through our catacombs).
Reading some logs (raidutil), I found that this disc must have failed as
early as May! Now, before I even could order a new one, the whole
system went down (I/O errors, re-mount read-only, ...).
I turned off the system (there was no available "shutdown command") and
bought a new disc (Seagate). Now I hope to revive the server on monday.
This would be the first time, so I am very grateful for any hints: Can I
just exchange the disc and boot? Or do I have to enter the RAID setup?
Cheers
Regards
Ralf.
