MPB96 board troubleshooting 23
TroubleAction
The system does not rebuild a new drive installed to replace a faulty drive.
The system does not rebuild the drive automatically after you replaced a faulty drive.
When you replace a defective drive, the new drive must be larger than the original drive. In this case, the system rebuilds the new drive.
However, if the new drive is smaller than the original drive, it must not be smaller by more than 1 GB. If the new drive is smaller than the original drive by less than 1 Gbyte, the GBWay setting in the Adapter properties is disabled. Enable the GBWay setting and start a new RAID configuration. Because starting a new RAID configuration erases the existing data, back up the system before proceeding.
The system does not rebuild a drive if an incorrect combination of operating system utility and RAID firmware is used on your system. Refer to either the 703t, 1002rp, 1005r or 600r Server Maintenance and Diagnostics guide for valid RAID firmware.
Note:
The Automatic rebuild feature is disabled in the BIOS on the 703t platform. Initiate the rebuilding process manually in the Windows MegaRAID utility.
