Hi All,
I can't believe this has happened, but despite my best efforts I've just suffered a raid failure and I can't see how to recover from it. If someone could give me some help I would be extremely grateful.
I have a server with a built in LSI SAS8008 controller. I have six drives (2TB each) configured as a raid 10 volume. Today, I rebooted the server and the raid controller shows the volume as failed. Entering the controller itself showed one drive had failed and two others were degraded. I've tried adding another drive alongside and it shows on the controller, but when I manage the volume, I get no options to perform anything in the way of recovery.
I've since removed the failed volume and put it in another PC and it reports as fine, so I've put it back and now the raid controller shows this drive as degraded, so I'm even more confused now. So currently, I have 6 drives in the raid, three now showing degraded.
I should say that I'm running all this through the boot up controller menu as I can't get any software to work with this raid controller in Windows.
Believe it or not, all this happened when I was trying to install a tape drive so I could make some off site backups of the data.
Is there anything I can do please?
Many Thanks in advance
Paul
