hi,
I'm running 5.4-RELEASE on a server with a Highpoint RocketRAID 1520
controller. Recently one of the drives failed, but the system kept running,
which is nice.
Now, however, I'm trying to replace the drive with a new (almost identical)
one:
after plugging in the drive:
# atacontrol status ar0
ar0: ATA RAID1 subdisks: ad4 status: DEGRADED
ok, that's normal
# atacontrol list
ATA channel 0:
Master: no device present
Slave: no device present
ATA channel 1:
Master: no device present
Slave: no device present
ATA channel 2:
Master: ad4 <Maxtor 6L160M0/BANC1E00> Serial ATA v1.0
Slave: no device present
ATA channel 3:
Master: ad6 <Maxtor 6L160M0/BANC1E50> Serial ATA v1.0
Slave: no device present
Nice, so the drive is properly connected.
# atacontrol addspare ar0 ad6
atacontrol: ioctl(ATARAIDADDSPARE): Device not configured
damn :(
I read here:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2004-October/041896.html
that i should try # atacontrol addspare 0 ad6 but the result is identical :=
(
I also tried attaching and detaching ad6, overwriting the first blocks of
the drive with zero's, without success.
any ideas?
