Recovering Drives Configured for

No Fault Tolerance

If you configured no fault tolerance, you must recover the data from a backup media. Perform the following steps:

1.Identify the failed physical drive that caused the logical drive to be deactivated. Record the device number and device name of the failed logical drive. For example:

NWPA: [V503-A2-D1:0] Compaq SMART-2 Slot 8 Disk 2 NFT

Failure messages are recorded on the server console. They are also recorded in the server error log file that can be viewed using the SYSCON utility (NetWare 3.12) or the NWADMIN utility (intraNetWare). This information will be used later to create a valid partition.

For hot-pluggable drives in a ProLiant server or storage system, record the location drive bay of the failed physical drive. The failed physical device can be identified by the illumination of the amber LED on the drive tray. This is where the new physical drive must be inserted.

2.Remove the failed drive.

3.Insert the replacement physical drive in the same drive bay where the failed drive was located. The physical drive must be the same capacity as the failed drive.

For hot-pluggable drives, after you secure the drive in the bay, the LEDs on the drive each light once in an alternating pattern to indicate that the connection was successful. The Online LED turns green, indicating that the controller recognized and successfully initialized the replacement drive. If the Online LED does not light after a few minutes, verify that you added the new drive in the same slot as the failed drive, and that the drive capacity is the same as the failed drive.
