Hi all,
Inherited a server running VMWare (standard build not HP) and I've got a drive with a amber failure light in the Storageworks array.
Given it's running VMWare O/S there is no ACU and iLo 3 doesn't give me anything to work with so..
My questions are;
1. Does the above support hot-swop capability? I don't have information about the SAS RAID card installed unfortunately..
2. Is there any way of booting into media that will give me the ACU? Ideally I want to take a look at the RAID status before pulling a drive - all of the lights on other drives are flashing blue (although they are so dim it's a little hard to tell) but I'd hate to pop a drive and kill the array (it's RAID 10 apparently..)
No error lights on the Storageworks unit at all, just one of the drives
Any advice would really be appreciated as killing this array would cause massive pain..
Regards,
Simon
