Recovering Drives Configured for
No Fault Tolerance
If you configured no fault tolerance, you must recover the data from a backup
media. Perform the following steps:
1. Identify the failed physical drive that caused the logical drive to be
deactivated. Record the device number and device name of the failed
logical drive. For example:
NWPA: [V503-A2-D1:0] Compaq SMART-2 Slot 8 Disk 2 NFT
Failure messages are recorded on the server console. They are also
recorded in the server error log file that can be viewed using the
SYSCON utility (NetWare 3.12) or the NWADMIN utility
(intraNetWare). This information will be used later to create a valid
partition.
For hot-pluggable drives in a ProLiant server or storage system, record
the location drive bay of the failed physical drive. The failed physical
device can be identified by the illumination of the amber LED on the
drive tray. This is where the new physical drive must be inserted.
2. Remove the failed drive.
3. Insert the replacement physical drive in the same drive bay where the
failed drive was located. The physical drive must be the same capacity as
the failed drive.
For hot-pluggable drives, after you secure the drive in the bay, the LEDs
on the drive each light once in an alternating pattern to indicate that the
connection was successful. The Online LED turns green, indicating that
the controller recognized and successfully initialized the replacement
drive. If the Online LED does not light after a few minutes, verify that
you added the new drive in the same slot as the failed drive, and that the
drive capacity is the same as the failed drive.
