Hi All,
So I have inherited a server in a far off remote location. We spotted that one of the disks had a predictive failure. So I ordered a new one and sent it out (server not under warranty). I now know we should have marked the disk "offline" first. Never mind! The disk has been swapped over and I have set it to "Global Hot Spare". It appeared to start rebuilding back into the RAID 5 over night. Fine. I came in this morning and I still have a yellow triangle with a ! next to the disk. I got the disk re-seated and it came up Foreign. So I have cleared the Foreign flag from within OpenManage and marked it as Hot Spare again. Now it looks like nothing is happening. I still have a non-critical !.
When I view "Virtual Disks", I only see green ticks, apart from disk 0.0.3 (the one we have replaced) is missing from that list. Does this mean that the disk we have replaced was actually a hot spare? Is there anyway for me to check? Why does OpenManage still say I have a non-critical warning? Anyone have any suggestions or advice?
