OS: FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE-p2 Machine: HP Proliant DL380G4 SCSI Raid Controller: 6404 The situation is that one disk of a raid5 array failed. 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.
