When the machine boots, the controller tries to initiate a rebuild onto the spare disk. The machine boots and within a short time the system resets. (This is the same problem that I had with this machine a while back, however, reseating cards does not help) I need to find out how to run the disk rebuild off line, i.e. what software is required and what is the procedure. HP only lists ACU for Linux and windows systems. What do you use with a FreeBSD machine? Also, if I can get access to another system is it possible to do an image copy of the good disks so that I can get a backup before proceeding with the rebuild? Any help appreciated.

The disks itself carry the information about the raid, so if you have another server with any SmartArray supporting raid5, you should be able to plug them in there and let it rebuild.

But my guess is it marked the standby failed? If you enter the BIOS via F8 at the 6404 prompt and display the logical drive, it should show the exact status there too. > > Any idea how to translate this? > > > Regards, > -- > Barry Friedman > Emax Computer Systems Inc., > 480 Tweedsmuir Ave., > Ottawa, Ont.

Will the 6404 rebuild while the machine is running or is it necessary to run SmartStart? dmesg shows: ciss1: *** Physical drive failure: SCSI port 1 ID 4 ciss1: *** State change, logical drive 1 ciss1: logical drive 1 (da1) changed status recovering->OK, spare status 0x15 Any idea how to translate this?
