The error indicate your Array had failed. Replace the bad drive and let =
Promise rebuild is one way. Promise RAID card does automatic rebuild =
after an array failure.

Usually why you boot up the server, Promise BIOS will say whether the =
Array is FUNCTIONAL or FAILURE.

You can also temporarily go to single mode and mount the drives manually =
with ar1 instead of ar0
