ARECA 1260

[Thunder1962]

I replaced the card with a new one and now one of my arrays is split in 3 all with the same name "00" one array has 1 disk, 1 has 4 disks, and one has 3 disks. Does the RESCUE command resolve this?


Thanks

If you log into the bios of the card does it say which disk is failed? If so remove that disc and replug in. I've had this on my areca 1220 card and I find the disk that's showing missing and redo the hotplug sequence and it'll start the rebuilding process.. This is exactly why I'm migrating to WHS instead of a raid array.

Update:

I removed all the drives one at a time and replaced them, now the array is rebuilding, fingers crossed.

All the drives are ok, it is the Array itself that has a status of failed under "Volume State"

Thanks

I've got my fingers crossed for you too.. raid's can be frustrating
