Anyone got any experience with the IBM X series servers?
One of our servers had a fit overnight and all disks were showing as failed. I looked in ServeRAID and sure enough they were all failed.
We have 2 arrays setup
Array A = 2x disks mirrored
Array B = 3x disks (RAID 5)
With 1x +HotSpare working for both arrays as a spare.
The two mirrored disks have the O/S on, so i decided to try and mark one of them as online first. One went online and the other came up with a rebuild status. Unfortunately it has just sat their with a Rebuilding status for hours and hours, and it has no progress indicator. I can't tell if it is rebuilding or if it has failed. The last even on it says "Drive is set to Rebuild state".
Anyone here able to help?
P.S. Server is in another country i am using a RSA card to connect to it at BIOS level with ServerGuide CD in it.
