1786-Slot 1 Drive Array Recovery Needed. Automatic Data Recovery Previously Aborted!...

...The following SCSI drive(s) need Automatic Data Recovery: SCSI Port Y: SCSI ID Z

Select F1 to retry Automatic Data Recovery to drive. Select F2 to continue without starting Automatic Data Recovery.

Audible Beeps: None

Possible Cause: System is in Interim Data Recovery Mode and a failed or replacement drive has not yet been rebuilt. This message is displayed if the F2 key was pressed during a previous boot or if the F1 key was pressed during a previous boot and the system rebooted before the rebuild of the drive completed.

Action:

Perform one of the suggested actions:

Press the F1 key to retry Automatic Data Recovery to the drive. Data will be automatically restored to drive X when a failed drive has been replaced, or to the original drive if it is working again without errors.

Press the F2 key to continue without recovery of data to the drive. The failed drive will not be rebuilt and the system will continue to operate in a failed state of Interim Data Recovery Mode.

If drive recovery is not successful, run ADU ("Array Diagnostic Utility" on page 63) for more information.

If the replacement drive failed, replace with another drive.

If the rebuild was aborted due to a read error from another physical drive in the array, back up all readable data on the array, run ADU, and then restore the data.

...Physical drive replacement needed: Drive X

Audible Beeps: None

Possible Cause: Hard drive X failed or cable is loose or defective. Following a system restart, this message notes that drive X is defective and fault tolerance is being used.

Action:

1.Be sure all cables are connected properly and securely.

2.Test and replace defective cables.

3.Replace drive X. (depending on the fault-tolerance level, all data may be lost if another drive fails).

1788-Slot X Drive Array Reports Incorrect Drive Replacement...

...The following SCSI drive(s) should have been replaced: SCSI Port Y: SCSI ID Z.

The following SCSI drive(s) were incorrectly replaced: SCSI Port y: SCSI ID z. Select F1 to continue – drive array will remain disabled.

Select F2 to reset configuration – all data will be lost.

Audible Beeps: None

Possible Cause:

Replacement drives may have been installed in the wrong drive bays.

A bad power cable connection to the drive, noise on the data cable, or defective SCSI cable exists.

Action:

If replacement drives are installed in the wrong bays, properly reinstall the drives as indicated and:

Press the F1 key to restart the server with the drive array disabled.

Press the F2 key to use the drives as configured and lose all the data on them.

If a bad power cable connection exists:
