Hi,
I hope that you can help me. We had an IT company looking after one of our branch offices, and I neglected their logs. They failed to spot a failed HDD (Disk0), which has since been replaced. Unfortunately at the rebuild, another disk (2) went into Degraded state, and has now not rebuilt. The server is still running, and the data appears accessible. A few backups failed but seemed to sort-of-complete after a chkdsk /r run on one of the partitions. If I can, I'd still prefer to rebuild the Raid5.
I have now obtained an additional drive to replace Disk2, which had gone in as a hotspare for the time being.
The rebuild usually gets stuck at 48%. This is logged:
There is an unrecoverable medium error detected on virtual disk: Virtual Disk 1 (PERC S300) Controller 0 (PERC S300)
Disk medium error detected: Physical Disk 0:0:2 Controller 0, Connector 0
FW/Drivers are:
| Firmware Version | 2.0.0-0166+00193000 |
| Driver Version | 2.0.0-0162 |
| Storport Driver Version | 6.1.7601.22589 |
I now have 4 SAS HDDs, where 0 shows Ready, 1 and 3 Online, and 2 Degraded with Failure Predicted Yes.
Is there anything I can do to help the system rebuild? In the meantime, I'll obviously try to verify the backup in another machine, but if I could rebuild that'd be awesome.
Thank you so much for any suggestion that points me into the right direction.
