Failed Drive on chassis

I have a light indicating a failed drive on the UCS. I can't seem to find the same indication on the UCS Manager. Where should one look to find a drive failure? I've looked through and everything appears normal.

If you navigate through Equipment -> Chassis -> Chassis n -> Servers -> Server n
There should be a fault in there if there's a fault with the blade...

  • HP Pavilion P6 2120 says - Failing drive

    My Pavilion P6 2120 is only 18 months old. This morning I got the message:  1720-SMART Hard Drive detects imminent failure   Failing Drive: SATA1   Failing Attribute: #05
    I'm running Windows 7. This is a home system.   I'm at a loss as to what is happening and why, and what needs to be done. 
    Any help?
    Thanks

    Well... with mechanical hard drives, unfortunately, it is a possibility. HP does try hard to use hard drives from manufacturers with the best track records and lowest rates of failures... probably the best in the biz when it comes to mass produced PCs, but hard drives (and optical drives) DO fail. Because they have platters that spin at extrememely high revolutions, they will eventually fail. Hard drive and optional drives and CPUs are a good reason to purchase extended warranties for PCs...especially notebook PCs. This is just advice...I agree with you it sucks. I've worked with about 50 PCs over the last 20 years - I've had drives last 1 month and some lasted 12 years plus.
    ... an HP employee expressing his own opinion.
    Please post rather than send me a Message. It's good for the community and I might not be able to get back quickly. - Thank you.

  • How to recover data from failed drive that's part of mirrored raid

    Hi Guys,
    hope to get help from someone knowledgeable out there. I have a macpro and recently experienced a failed drive. I set up that failed drive as part of a mirrored raid, this set is not my primary drive and so my computer is stilling up and running but now am wondering how I access the data from the mirrored drive. Should the mirrored drive automatically mount on my desktop whereby I would be able to access the files? This is my first drive failure and I was under the impression having a mirror would duplicate my data and allow me to access it in situations like this. I'm a bit of novice in this area and not sure if the data is truly on the "mirror" or if there are things I need to do.
    I launched disk utility and was able to see the mirrored drive and I selected "mount" drive but it would not mount; I then selected "verify" and got "unrecognizeable filesystem" Is this normal? Am I suppose do something to get access to the mirrored drive? Do I install a new drive in place of the failed drive and expect the raid to rebuild automatically whereby I then see the data?
    Your help is much appreciated.

    Even with a mirror, you still need a backup.
    Along with Disk Utility, you still need 3rd party (TechTool Pro 5, Disk Warrior 4.1.1+).
    And if you like to use RAID and esp mirror RAID, consider
    http://www.softraid.com which is a step above (the pdf guide, manual you can download and they have a demo, so worth the read). SoftRAID can also import/convert an Apple RAID to its own format which has been known to recover drives and data.

  • Intel raid, find the failing (but not failed) drive?

    One of my two Seagate drives is failing, I get intermittent system 'hangs', drive clicking, and the following error in event viewer:
    Quote
    "The device, \Device\Ide\iaStor0, did not respond within the timeout period.
    When I built the system I created two volumes from my two hard drives.  The first volume is a Raid 1 mirror set for my root drive.  The  second volume is a raid 0 stripe for my non-important stuff.  The two volumes are named "Root_Mirror" and "Data_Stripe"
    Here's the problem, How do I know which drive is on its way out?  I believe the event viewer error is complaining about the mirrored volume set (iaStor0 = "Root_Mirror" volume?), but how do I prove this?  (I am correct in thinking that WinXP talks to the Intel raid controller, the raid controller talks to the hard drives.  Consequently WinXP can only report errors about the raid volume, not the underlying physical hardware.
    I have a strong background in unix (Sun Solaris) disk and volume management.  If this was a work machine, I'd run an "iostat -En" look at the error count for each device, then determine which lun was having problems.  Once I know which lun is in trouble, I'd run a health check on the lun via the array management software (RM6 or whatever).  I don't see these tools in WinXP or the Intel Matrix driver... 
    Here is a system report from the Intel Matrix storage console if it helps:

    Well, I found a way to identify a failing drive, but it is not pretty..
    download Seagate's "Seatools"
    burn Seatools to bootable cd
    go into bios / Integrated peripherals / on-chip ATA devices / change from "raid" to "ide"
    F11 boot to cdrom
    run Seatools quick check to almost instantly identify the failing drive.
    run Seatools extended test to find a whole SLEW of failed sectors   :shocking:
    reboot back into bios, Integrated peripherals / on-chip ATA devices / change back to "raid" (pray this won't blow away your data, which it didn't but you don't know that until you do it once 
    setup RMA refund thru Newegg, order replacement drive, and hope new drive makes it before old drive goes belly up.
    while patiently waiting for new drive, sit in amazement that the Intel matrix driver ignores all the errors that Seatools found in a matter of seconds..
    Here's a question.  Should I be pissed that the Intel raid controller isn't reporting a bunch of errors, or should I be excited that the Intel raid contorller can keep a raid 0 stripe functioning with a clearly failing disk drive. (is it a bug or a feature????)
    {sigh}

  • My hard drive failed. My applications were on the drive including Excel, Word, and Powerpoint. Apple told me I could pull everything from the failed drive. I tried that but the drive is bad so I can't get to anything. Do you think Apple will reinstall?

    My hard drive failed. My applications were on the drive including Excel, Word, and Powerpoint. Apple told me I could pull everything from the failed drive. I tried that but the drive is bad so I can't get to anything. The Office package was installed/included when I purchased the Mac. Does anyone think Apple will provide me with the Office package? Thank you!

    Thank you everyone. I apologize to confusing all but I am up to date and running OS X 10.8.2.  It's possible I purchased the key for Office but I don't think so although it was 3-4 years ago. I guess I will stop in the Apple Store and just ask. I may just buy the new bundle anyway to get the most updated.
    I have read there are issues with the MS Office bundle running on our latest OS, is that true?
    Thank you all!!! You've been great!

  • HT1338 How to install OS X on a new HDD to replace a failed drive?

    My sisters MacBook (Late 2006) HDD has failed. I have a spare drive that I would like to install OS X onto to replace the failed drive. Whats the best way to do this and which version of OS is best to install for this model MacBook?

    Hello, it'd be best to use the Original Install Disc while booting the MacBook from it, but a Retail 10.6 Install Disc may work...

  • Is it possible to replace a failed drive with another unused hard drive within an ix12-300r

    I have an ix12-300r with a failed drive in a storage pool - I want to replace the failed drive with one of the other drives in the NAS that are unused (i.e. not part of any other storage pool)
    i.e. Storage Pool consists of 3 drives - disk 1, disk 2 and disk 3.
    Disk 3 has failed.
    Disk 4 is free and not used by any other storage pool.
    Can Disk 4 be pulled out and then put into the place of Disk 3?
    (All disks are the same model/size/speed)

    Hello cayliffe
    Yes!  In you case disk 4 would be usable as a replacement for disk 3.  
    You can remove disk 4 and put it in bay 3 if you wish, however you should be able to set the ix12 to use unused drives as hot spares so the firmware switches to the disk automatically.  In Drive Management > Settings the "Use available drives as hot spares" option will allow your device to use any compatible unused/available disk as a hot spare for any of the storage pools.

  • How do I force a Mac Pro Lion RAID 5 rebuild after replacing a failed drive?

    Hi,
    My Mac Pro RAID 5 (with Apple RAID controller card and RAID 5 volume with 3 hard disks) showed degraded RAID set message due to failed drive.  After I repalced the failed drive, I was unable to add it back to the RAID set.  So I tried to removed or deleted this RAID set so that I can rebuild the RAID set from scratch.  No matter what I did, I was unable to delete the RAID set using the RAID Utility.  Can anyone help?  Thanks.

    I have been posting in this forum several times yet I was not getting any help nor comment on my issue from anyone (except Grant above.  Thanks and appreciate your support).
    So I have to help myself by searching various ways to resolve the issue.  I accidentally came across below findings and it solved my problem.  So I thought I will post it here just to share with whoever may run into the same problem.
    When I was trying to try to change to another harddisk, I noticed that I made a mistake in mixing up the drives when I put them back.  That is for the last two drive bays(3 & 4), for some reason I put the disks backwards.  That is drive 3 in Bay 4 and drive 4 in Bay 3.  I did not realize that on the drive mount Apple actually labelled them as 1, 2, 3, and 4 respectively for Bay 1 through Bay 4.
    With the two disks installed in the wrong sequence and even though one of them is a replacement disk, Apple RAID controller card still boot up the RAID set but showing degraded RAID sets and everthing is normal except it would not allow you to make the replacement disk as a global spare.
    After I put the disks in the correct order, I was able to use RAID utility to make the repalcement disk as a spare and the system starting rebudiling the RAID set automatically (thought it took three days to complete).
    Now my system is back to normal working.  So the solution is to insure the disks are installed back to the Mac Pro in the same order (sequence including the replacement disk) when the RAID was set up.  This is such a basic matter and I don't know how I missed it.  Hopefully sharing this experience will help someone who may have similar problem.  At lease this is the first thing to check before going any further.

  • Failed Drive: Trying to install New Drive in 7 Disk Array

    We are set up on an Xserve RAID with 1-7 (250G, RAID 5) as one array, and 8-10 (400G, RAID 5) as as second array. In our first array of seven, drive 6 failed.
    We purchased a Hitachi Deskstar 250G ATA/IDE internal drive to swap with the failed drive. We did not purchase this through apple.
    We swapped the drives and put the new HD in the 6th port. NO GO. We placed the dive on port 11 as its own and the drive reads fine (as a spare).
    How do we add this drive to the 7 disk Array?

    I think yes, you have to find someone, who is able to read service parts of the disks. Apple's 'special' firmware is written here. The way is read this firmware from original disk and write it to non Apple disk. You will not be able to do this without special tools. Company which does data rescue from crashed disks can do this job for you. But as was written before, disk size must be identical with original drive.
    Leos.

  • Why would a failed drive scare the rest of the drives off the SCSI bus?

    I have a VMWare 4-based system running Solaris 10 5/09 s10x_u7wos_08 as a VM configured with PCI passthrough to give it control over an LSI 22320SE SCSI HBA. This is connected to an external Areca SATA to SCSI RAID array in JBOD mode. The drives are 750 GB Seagate Barracudas, ST3750640AS and are part of a raidz2 in ZFS.
    The Areca controller reports a single drive has failed and Solaris notices it simultaneously. So far, so good.
    But immediately after that, the other drives on this array start running frightened as if whatever the first drive got is contagious. Two others even go offline temporarily. What could cause this to happen?
    Of course, the pool goes offline. However, on reboot, the pool comes up with just that first failed drive in a "cannot open" state.

    I have noticed that the system can "hold onto" a drive name when there's a disconnect from the external volume.
    Try this. Eject your external drive. Go into Terminal, and type
    Cd /Volumes
    Do you see a phantom "Warehouse" volume still there? If so, navigate into it, make sure there are no files you might want to keep (copy them elsewhere if so), then navigate out and use
    sudo rm -rf /Volumes/Warehouse
    See if that fixes it.

  • Upgraded harddrive from a failing drive, can't resize the partition

    I have an iMac (27 inch). I upgraded my HDD 1TB drive to a 3TB drive because my original drive was failing. I used a stand alone drive cloner (Bytecc BT-340) and after 8+ hours (because of the bad harddrive) I was able to copy the drive.
    I had a bootcamp partition and I attempted to boot into windows, the computer hung up indefinitely. Upon reboot the computer would give me a progress bar under the apple logo, it would make some progress, then the computer will shut off.
    I made a 2nd attempt at recovering the hard drive info successfully from the original 1TB back into the 3TB. My First step after that was to delete the bootcamp partition to make sure I wouldn't repeat the problem again. Now I can't seem to resize my 750GB partition for my 3TB harddrive. I get a message "Media Kit Reports Partition too small".
    I have only attempted to use Disk Utility for this, my issue is that I don't have a reliable backup of my information. I'm only using about 25% of my hard drive capability and I would like to resize my partition but I don't want to chance relying on a failing drive as a backup. Any suggestions?

    Here's your only way out. Create a new partition in the free space. Use Disk Utility, Carbon Copy Cloner, or SuperDuper! to clone your current volume to the new, empty partition. Then verify everything is OK, delete the bottom partition and expand the remaining one.
    Your alternative is to buy iPartition 3.3.1 which can handle the problem - $45.00.

  • My whole catalogue was nearly lost due to a failed external hard drive. Professional help recovered photos but I can't find my smart tags. Is it possible they were lost on failed drive?

    My whole catalogue was nearly lost due to a failed external hard drive. Professional help recovered photos but I can't find my smart tags. Is it possible they were lost on failed drive?

    Hi,
    In order to recover the tags/albums, etc, you need to have the catalog db. Since currently you only have images, the organization done in the older catalog is probably lost.
    Which version of PSE you have and is there any chance, that you have access to catalog location (default is : %programdata%\adobe\elements organizer\catalogs on Windows and ~/library/app support/adobe/organizer/catalogs on MAC) ?
    Thanks

  • Restore failed drive

    A failed drive holds my iphoto library. I can see in the time machine backups that it has the library but it's not revealing it presumably because the device isn't there. I've mounted a smaller spare drive, given it the same name and formatted it Mac OS extended (journaled). How do I restore to this new drive?

    if you've given the new drive the same name as the old one, that should be sufficient. open the new drive in finder and start TM. you should be able to restore. if that doesn't work for whatever reason, enter siftcommandc in finder and start TM. scroll back to a time point when that iphoto drive was present. you should see it as a folder. open it and restore what you need.

  • Using iPod as backup disk for failing drive

    I am an avid user of iTunes with multiple years of history behind me, and I have owned my own iPod since about February, and I have never been disappointed until now, but I feel this is more an ID 10.T error than anything else.
    I have a big library, so much so that a regular iPod just wouldn't do it, I had to go for the biggest one available. With a library of 5,230 songs covering 31.65GB, I have a nearly irreplacable collection, and to my dismay, my internal disk is failing (thank you Maxtor...)
    As a wise move, I synchronised my iPod with iTunes with the latest additions, and was horrified to find that iTunes had sleuthed an entire band (Motorhead! No!), three songs from another band (Jimi Hendrix, why all the good guys?!), and two lone songs had become victim to my series of bad sectors cropping up all over the place. While I was thankful that this had not altered my iPod listings (the tracks are still on the iPod, and are still playable), I am left with a situation.
    If I want to recover these tracks, most of which were ripped from now long-lost CDs years ago rather than purchased over iTMS, how would I go about doing it? Obviously, restoring them on the failing disk would be absolutely fruitless, but there will come a time when I CAN afford to replace the disk, and when this time comes, the entire library will need restoring, and as an extra precaution, I want to have the library stored on my partner's PowerBook. Having turned off automatic synchronisation, under the fear that I would lose my tracks, I thought there would then also be a method for transferring all the data FROM the iPod TO a machine, but this does not appear to be possible, and one begins to ponder the usefulness and customer satisfaction of a one-way music player? Is there an option within iTunes I am missing or simply haven't found yet? Or does the problem lie deeper than I believe it to be? How am I supposed to get music off, and re-enable automatic synchronisation without vaporising my irreplacable music collection that already exists on my iPod?
    Seriously, it took me many years to rip, and over five hours to transfer, do NOT tell me I'm going to have to vaporise it to do anything with it, as I've already lost a few ultra-rare tracks on the disk...
    Any help that could be given is very much appreciated.
    Custom Windows XP Pro

    Now that your iPod is set for manual music management, does the iPod show up in Windows like an external drive? Do you see it listed either by name or by the generic "removable disk" under My Computer? Because once Windows recognizes it as a removable drive, you can open it and poke around for your files. First you need to expose hidden files using Windows' Tools•Folder Options•View settings. Then you'll see the folders in which the iPod stores all the stuff.
