So I'm on my way upstairs to bed and I hear an loud annoying beep from my server closet. I log in and find a degraded RAID array. One drive was listed as failed. I rebooted the server and now that drive is listed as free. I checked the log and this is what was there:
2011-10-25 22:50:09 Enc#2 Slot#6 Device Failed
2011-10-25 22:50:09 Raid Set # 000 RaidSet Degraded
2011-10-25 22:50:09 ARC-1880-VOL#000 Volume Degraded
2011-10-25 22:49:48 Enc#2 Slot#6 Time Out Error
Now my main array is sitting here degraded. So first a few questions...I don't have a spare drive for the array, so I can order one real quick off Amazon, but in the meantime, I'm guessing the drive is fine and this is a fluke timeout. If that is the case, can I just re-build the array with that drive again? Is there a quick and safe way to do this. Honestly, I've not had one go bad on this controller, so I'm even sure as to the steps. This is an 1880.
Help!!
