To synchronize the RAID after a successful PEP installation
To restore RAID to full service after a successful PEP installation:
1Without shutting down the server, from Windows, click Start >
Programs > Power Console Plus > Launch Client.
Note: Ensure that Access Mode > Full Access is selected.
2Click OK.
Result: The MegaRAID Power Console Plus window appears.
3In the Physical Devices section, right-click the hard disk drive that is
marked FAILED.
Example: A01-2-Failed.
4From the right mouse shortcut menu, select Rebuild.
Result: When the rebuild is complete, the drive status changes to
ONLINE and the color of the icon changes to green.
The process can take up to 1 hour. If the server reboots during the rebuild
process, the rebuild continues when the server restarts. However, a power
down or reboot is not recommended during the rebuild process.
To synchronize the RAID after an unsuccessful PEP installation
If the PEP installation fails, you must return the system to the original
configuration.
ATTENTION Do not make the failed drive online at this point, or data
corruption can occur. If you failed the wrong drive by
mistake, you must select rebuild to bring it back into
service.
