Hi,
I have a server which having 3 HDD with RAID 5, Installed with VMware ESX4.
Is this an HW RAID card? Vendor/Model?
if (HW RAID == true) {
read up on the diagnostics aspect of the driver
turn on verbose mode
look at the logs
}
else (SW RAID == true ) {
smartctl -a /dev/sdX X == drive number
read up mdadm/dmraid
turn on verbose mode
look at the logs
}
One of the HDD's LED is glowing in amber.
Are the disks in a RAID cage or an external/internal?
How do i check the health of that HDD.
Without sufficient information it is hard to figure out your problem.
