RAID status: degraded or failed? is there help?

We are using mac os sever 10.4.3. When we recently restarted the servers we noticed that 2 drives on each of the servers has yellow warning lights showing on the moitor software but not on the actual drives themselves. We have 2 servers one a G4 and the other a G5. The G4 has 2 drives and both are registering yellow, the G5 has 4 drivers with 2 registering yellow. The monitor says the drives are "degraded" but everything seems to be transferring and backing up fine. Should we do a backup and use Disk Utility to repair the degraded/damaged drives?

You must have RAID 1 mirrored drives setup then and are running from the working disk of the mirrored pair.
Ofcourse you should fix these types of problems/failing disks.
Having recent backups is always a good thing. A RAID doesn't save you from human errors but it should prevent "downed" servers.
Your supposed to be able to repair a degraded mirror from within Disk Utility but I have only done it from the CLI (Terminal) diskutil.
If you do a : sudo diskutil checkraid
What do you get?
If the servers are updated from 10.3.x you can (if not done already) also update the RAID version from the older ver. 1 to ver. 2 available from 10.4.0-> using the command:
sudo diskutil convertraid

  • WSA RAID Status: Degraded

    Hi,
       I Have the next status on WSA
    RAID Status:
    Degraded
    Any idea how to get Optimal ?

    Hello Oscar,
    Please try rebooting the appliance and leave it for a day for the raid to rebuild. If the raid still does not re-build there might be  a possible disk issue, kindly open a TAC case.

  • Disk Utility claims Degraded and failed, Raid Admin says its all fine

    My company has a server they haven't been able to use. The person who set it up is now gone. I was acquainting myself with the set up. I looked in the Disk Utility of my company's server to see if i could quickly determine the set up of the system and noticed several of the drives said Degraded and Failed
    I downloaded Raid Admin to see what I could do about it and it says everything is fine.
    Before I tell my company it is OK to begin using the server to house and share major account files I want to be sure there are no problems. They are already using it for time machine back-ups for everyone so I'm loathe to start from scratch right now.

    Ok; so there is an Xserve RAID hardware here, though this case does look to be the software RAID that is centrally involved with this and not the hardware RAID.
    The next part of the investigation will involve DU, and to determine why your disk(s) here have apparently been configured for software mirroring, and possibly also using what Apple calls "stacked RAID".
    You can either add a volume back in for the failed volume and rebuild that and [here is the usual rebuild sequence (HT3305)|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3305], though if you're not planning to use software RAID (anymore), then you may well end up archiving your data and then issuing a diskutil command to delete the software RAID volume (see +man diskutil+ for an introduction, and look specifically for the RAID delete command syntax there) (or if that should fail), reinitializing your disks and importing from your backup.
    I'd suggest having an off-line backup of your data first. Command input, operational errors or volume corruptions that might arise while using DU can have, um, serious consequences for disk data. See the +diskutil appleRAID delete+ command, but I'd also personally want to have an off-line backup of all your data first. RAID command errors and low-level RAID errors can be quite nasty around unarchived data.

    If you're trying to connect to a Bonjour server on the remote network, that won't work over a layer 3 VPN. Use something like Hamachi or one of the SSH-tunnelling Bonjour proxy apps for that.

  • Alert "Power sub-system degraded or failed" won't close automatically after power restores

    we have SCOM R2 and HP server in use.
    we installed HP server MP.
    each server has two power suppliers, one to UPS,  one to Commercial power.
    but there is always Commercial power outage, after which alert "Power sub-system degraded or failed" will arise.
    when power restores, this alert won't close automatically.
    Below please find alert properties,
    there is no "Aoto-resolve" attribute, I suppose this is the reason why this alert won't close automatically after power restores.
    but I want this alert to be closed automatically by SCOM after power restores, could anyone help me?

    It looks like this particular alert is generated by a rule, and that rule simply generates an alert whenever certain events are detected in the event log.  A rule that alerts on the creation of an event does not have the ability to close based on the
    detection of a second event.
    If this is the behavior you are looking for you would be best to create your own monitor as opposed to this rule, as you can create a custom monitor that alerts on one event or events and closes when another event or events are logged indicating things are
    healthy again.
    Once you have your custom monitor setup, you would then want to disable this rule that was built into the hp management pack.  You can also look to see if the hp mp has any contact info that you can reach out to and ask for this feature to be included
    in the next update of the mp, but for now i think your best option is to create a custom monitor that alerts on one event and closes on another.

  • Disk utility says "RAID STATUS: Disk missing"?

    When I boot up OS 10.3.9 there is error message "detected volume OS X cannot read - initialize, ignore or eject" - then it dissappears and the system drive behaves normally. But in disk utitlity it says "RAID STATUS: Disk missing".
    The disk is not partitioned and it will not let me repair permissions. Any ideas?

    Disk Utility monitors the status of the disks in a RAID set. If you see a message indicating that a disk is missing or has failed, try these troubleshooting steps:
    If you are using a striped RAID set, delete the damaged RAID set. Your data may be lost. Be sure to back up your RAID sets and other data regularly.
    If you are using a mirrored RAID set, there may have been an error writing data to the disk. Click Rebuild in the RAID pane of Disk Utility.
    If a problem persists, replace the damaged disk and click Rebuild to rebuild the RAID set.
    Use the First Aid pane to repair the RAID disk, then check the RAID set to see if it still reports an error. If the problem is still present, quit and reopen Disk Utility, select the RAID disk, and click RAID. Check the RAID set to see if it still reports an error. You may need to restart your computer.

  • Has anyone upgraded the Ironport ESA to 8.5.6-074 and had the issues of Raid status showing unknown?

    Has anyone upgraded the Ironport ESA to 8.5.6-074 and had the issues of Raid status showing unknown? After we upgraded our appliances we are having issues with our ESA appliances showing the RAID status as unknown. When we reported the issue to CISCO we were updated there were no issues reported at all. Could anyone please confirm if you have experienced the same issue.

  • FTP Put fails when there is no pre-existing file present in the directory

    Hi All,
    In our process we use the FTP adapter to write a file to a location. This operation fails when there is no preexisting file on the output directory.
    So we placed a zero byte file on the directory and tested and the adapter was able to create the output file but when the files were deleted from the output directory the file transfer failed again.
    We got the below error
    Non Recoverable System Fault :
    Exception occured when binding was invoked. Exception occured during invocation of JCA binding: "JCA Binding execute of Reference operation 'Put' failed due to: Invalid Output Directory. Invalid Output Directory. The value specified for the output (Physical/Logical)Directory interaction parameter or jca binding property has an invalid value "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" Ensure that the following conditions are satisfied for the output directory : 1) It exists and is a directory (not a file). and 2) It is writable (file write permissions). and 3) If using a logical name, then ensure that the mapping from logical name<->physical directory is correctly specified in the deployment descriptor. ". The invoked JCA adapter raised a resource exception. Please examine the above error message carefully to determine a resolution.
    Kindly help us resolve the issue.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Balaji R

    Balaji,
    This operation fails when there is no preexisting file on the output directory I'm not sure I understood this declaration.
    Why do you need to have preexisting file on the output directory?
    If it fails, with the mentioned error, it means that something was not defined properly.
    OR
    Another option is permissions.
    Check that your local system user (I guess orabi) has a write permission on the target directory (on the FTP host).

  • All my photos in the iphoto have disappeared, not sure if this related to any iphoto upgrade or other issue, tried to find the photos through the finder (JPG or photo) but failed, can you help me to get back my photos please?

    All my photos in the iphoto have disappeared, not sure if this related to any iphoto upgrade or other issue, tried to find the photos through the finder (JPG or photo) but failed, can you help me to get back my photos please?

    Help us to help you: There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on seven different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
    - Did it ever work properly?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
    With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
    Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. More information means you get better assistance. (And no, more exclamation marks do not get help faster or make your issue seem urgent. They just make it seem like you have a stuck key )

    Status : Failure -Test failed: IO Error: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection
    I have looked at various threads in the forums here but I'm still stymied why the connection seems to be ok, yet sql developer has problems with it. If I create an ssh tunnel so sql developer only has to connect to localhost it works:

    Hi Ali,
    This may be of varoius reasons..
    Is the database that you are connecting on the same PC?
    You have specified Hostname: localhost.
    If not please replace it with the IP of that server.
    Else please check whether the database listener is started or not. if not please start the listener.
    Check the SID by tnsping command.
    Hope this will help you..
    Thanks

  • How to send alert when receiver JMS adapter fails? Please help!

    Hi experts,
       I have the following Asynchronous scenario:
       SAP R/3 -
    >IDOC----->XI>JMS--->BizTalk.
       I am sending IDOC from a given SAP R/3 system to XI. XI then sends the same to BizTalk via JMS adapter. In SXMB_MONI the message is successfully processed as it shows checked flag. But if I see the JMS communication channel status in runtime workbench then there it shows error saying JMS queue user id or password not found.
    How to send this JMS adapter error as alert?
    I also tried configuring alert rule in runtime workbench but still it does not trigger any error.
    I have also verified the alert category and everything is fine with that.
    What could be the problem? How can I send an alert when an Async adapter fails?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Gopal

    Hi! GOPAL,
    Once make sure whther all the below mentioned steps are configured correctly or not ok
    1: First make sure whether you are working on SAP XI or PI 7.1
               a) If XI you need to create Alerts (ALert Category) in CCMS ABAP stack in the
                        Tcode. ALRTCATDEF
               b) Open the alert category/classification definition environment (transaction ALRTCATDEF).
         ensure you are in change mode.
               c) In the group box with the alert classifications, right-click All classifications to open the   
                    context menu, and choose Create.
               d) Under Classification, enter a name for the classification.
               e) Under Description, enter a description of the classification.
               f)  Save your entries.
               g) Then go to RWB-->Go to ALERT Configuation and ADD the RULES to your alert category gor 
         which created there in the abap stack.
    Note Suppose if you want those ALERTS to come to your MAIL then again go to ABAP STACK and go to Tcode.  ALRTCATDEF and select your alert category press FIxed Recepients and there give your SAP XI ID's then  u can see those alerts in RWB-->ALERT INBOX
    Suppoe if you want those to mail then ask the basis team to link your company mail or personal mail ID to your SAP ID.
    2. Supppose if you are working on PI 7.1 Server.
         Only difference is creating Alert Category...Here you can create your ALERT Classification I mean   
         alert caltegory in the ESR (Enterprise Service Repository )
         Software Component >S CVersion>NameSpace-->Alert Category.
         You can configure how u configure there in abap stack such as long and short text every thing 
          except Fixed Receipients you need to give that recepients there only in ABAP STACK.
          what ever ALERT CATEGORY you are creating will reflect there in the ABAP STACK
         even you can Use these alerts Category in BPM --> CONTROL STEP -->Configure here in this step
    You can also reach alerts like this.
    NOTE  Most Important point is You can also view your mails or Alerts in the T Code:: SOST.

    Hi Harikrishnan,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you got an error when you used Machine Translation Service in SharePoint 2013.
    Firstly , make sure the Machine Translation Service is running on ‘Manage sercies on server’.
    Then , do the followings:
    1. Ensure the Machine Translation Service application has web access:
    2. Validate the MachineTranslationAddress, MachineTranslationClientId, and MachineTranslationCategory for the Machine Translation Service application
    More information, please refer to the link :
