Server 2003 - ML350 G5 problems

[Richand]

Hi Guys,

I need abit of advice, I went to a customers site where there domain controller had gone down, turns ot the HDD on the RAID 1+0 had failed so i took it away and replaced the harddrive

RAID rebuilt but now when it boots it gets NTSKRNL.exe missing

tried to boot from CD but it just sits on examining Disk 0 on HpCISSs2 (Raid Controller)

Tried a differant CD and same issue

My mind is telling me its a rebuild of the logical array and complete reinstall of server 2003 - as its a DC I assume I will have to give it a new server name as AD wont like it with a diff SSID?

its a member DC without a backup which was also a print server and DHCP/DNS

any advice?

Did you pull the right disk?

Boot it on SmartStart and run array diagnostics.

You can re-add it with the same name if you delete the old DC Computer account from the AD. Did it have any FSMO roles?

yep, the one with the red light

Smart Start says both disks are now OK where as before it had failed next to the bay 2 disk (which I replaced) but still locks up when doing anything to do with accessing the hard drives, including running the smart start CD which took 4 attempts just to get the tool to run!

no FSMO roles

really dont want to rebuild but seems that it maybe the only way to point out a possible faulty controller
