(the following answer assumes you're using my check_smartarray script from http://soren.klintrup.dk/proliant/ - output is similiar). A status of rebuilding indicates that the raid controller is rebuilding mirror/checksum data, during this process you should not perform any additional changes to the raidset (exceptions can apply), this will return to a status of "ok" after some time (this can take hours or days depending on disk sizes and raid levels). My guess would be that drive bays 0, 1, 2 and 3 is configured in a raid5 with a hotspare, and the system is currently rebuilding disks 0, 1 and 3, with disk 2 either being flagged as a new hotspare or tray/bay is broken. But for now wait until the rebuild is done to avoid data loss.

There had been a pending failure reported in the ILO before this incident. All disks were installed in the same bays in the the new machine before power up. da0 is raid 0 mirrored system disks da1 is 3 raid 5 + spare Rebuild completed successfully (status ok) and machine is operational. > (the following answer assumes you're using my check_smartarray script from > http://soren.klintrup.dk/proliant/ - output is similiar). Correct. Thanks for this. I have it on cron at 5min intervals and although it occasionally reports "unknown state" it is the only info I have on the running system. > A status of rebuilding indicates that the raid controller is rebuilding > mirror/checksum data, during this process you should not perform any > additional changes to the raidset (exceptions can apply), this will return > to a status of "ok" after some time (this can take hours or days depending > on disk sizes and raid levels). See above. Rebuild occurred immediately after initial boot of the new system - there may have been raid activity but no changes to the configuration during the rebuild. > My guess would be that drive bays 0, 1, 2 and 3 is configured in a raid5 > with a hotspare, and the system is currently rebuilding disks 0, 1 and 3, > with disk 2 either being flagged as a new hotspare or tray/bay is broken. > > But for now wait until the rebuild is done to avoid data loss. I assume it used the hotspare for the rebuild and bay 2 is now in need of replacement. The only way to know for sure would be to reboot and enter raid configuration mode which I am trying to avoid.
