(old state: new state ch: bay)
This is an information message. No action is required.
Configured Drives are Missing:
When the ServeRAID adapter detects that a previousely configured drive is
missing, the following message appears:
(old state: new state ch: bay)
where old state is the configured state of the drive, new state is the state that the ServeRAID adapter
will assign to the drive, ch and bay are the channel and bay where the drive was located previously.
Examples of these possible state changes include:
(ONL: DDD x: y)
(RDY: EMP x: y)
(SBY: EMP x: y)
(RBL: DDD x: y)
(HSP: DHS x: y)
(SHS: DHS x: y)
Two choices will follow this message:
| F4 | Retry, Select this key after correcting a problem. |
|---|---|
| For example, select retry after you turn on the external | |
| storage enclosure that contains the hard disk drive. | |
| F5 | Select this key to accept the new state that the ServeRAID |
| adapter will assign to the drive. For example, the adapter | |
| will assign the drive a state of defunct or empty. | |
| You can also select F5 when you must remove a drive, RAID level 1 | |
| and RAID level 5 logical drives are present, and performance | |
| in a degraded mode is acceptable. The ServeRAID adapter will | |
| assign the drive a state of defunct, but the server can complete | |
| startup. However, the array will remain in Critical mode and the | |
| potential for data loss will exist until you replace and rebuild | |
| the defunct drive. To prevent the loss of data, replace and | |
| rebuild the defunct drive in a timely manner. |
Configured Drives Are Not in the Configured Location:
When the ServeRAID adapter detects that a previousely configured drive is present, but the drive is in a new location, the
following message appears:
(old ch: old bay: > new ch: new bay)
where old channel is the channel that matches the existing drive configuration information, old bay is the bay that
matches the existing drive configuration information, new ch is the channel where the drive is now located, and new bay is
the bay where the drive is now located.
For example:
(1 : 6 > 2:14)
(2 : 5 > 2: 6)
In this example, the message indicates that the drive from Channel 1, Bay 6 is now located at Channel 2, Bay 14, and
the Drive from Channel 2, Bay 5 is now located at Channel 2, Bay 6. The drive might have been physically moved
to the new bay.
Three choices will follow this message:
| F4 | Retry, Select this key after correcting a problem. |
|---|---|
| For example, select retry after you move the hard disk | |
| drive to its previously assigned location. | |
| F5 | Select this key to accept the new state that the ServeRAID |
| adapter will assign to the drive. For example, the adapter | |
| will assign the drive a state of defunct. | |
| F6 | Select this key to modify the configuration to match the |
| current drive location. | |
| You might remove the hot-swap drives from the server for | |
| security reasons. If you replace the drives but install them | |
| in different bays, you can press F6 to accept the | |
| new locations, and the ServeRAID adapter will update the | |
| configuration. |
New Adapter Installed in a Configured Server:
When the ServeRAID adapter detects that the identifiers of the drives do not match the adapter configuration information, the following message appears:
host id: old ch: old bay: new ch:new bay
where host ID is the adapter identification, old channel is the channel that matches the drive configuration information, and
old bay is the bay that matches the drive configuration information. New ch is the channel where the drive is now located, and new bay is the
bay where the drive is now located.
For example:
(My Machine : 1:6 > 2:10)
In this example, the message indicates that the drive from Channel 1, Bay 6 is now located at Channel 2, Bay 10.
The drive might have been physically moved to the new bay.
Two choices will follow this message:
| F4 | Retry, Select this key after correcting the problem. |
|---|---|
| For example, select retry after you move the hard disk | |
| drive to its previously assigned location, or after you | |
| install the original ServeRAID adapter. | |
| F7 | Select this key to import the configuration information from |
| the drive and to update the configuration information on the | |
| ServeRAID adapter. This choice is useful when you replace the | |
| ServeRAID adapter in an existing disk-array model. | |
| You also might select F7 if you replace a whole set of drives | |
| with drives that were configured in another server with a | |
| ServeRAID adapter. |
Note: When you install drives in a server that has no logical drives defined, the F7 choice
will not appear. This can occur when you replace the ServeRAID adapter itself. The adapter does not contain any
logical drives in its factory configuration. Therefore, F7 will not appear. In this case, restart the server
and press Ctrl+I to enter the Mini-Configuration (see 'Using the Mini-Configuration Program'), then,
select Advanced Functions. From that menu, select Import Configuration from Drives to Adapter.
