![]() During reboot, E200i decided to forgive the failed drives and had automatically began to recover - not sure what that meant at the time, but apparently the spare device was deactivated. I rebooted into offline HP Array Configuration Utility hoping to add the new drive as a spare to the array. Once the replacement server was up and running I inserted a new drive into a spare bay which already had two fault leds burning for 2/5 original drives. Next lockup came a few days later, now I noticed that a spare had been activated successfully replacement disks were ordered and I started preparing a replacement server. Post-lockup, there was nothing interesting in the logs (from cpqarrayd) or any other obvious cause. ![]() Everything went peachy until about a week ago when we had a full server lockup. TL DR: Smart Array E200i should not be trusted HP Array Configuration Utilities are horrible, always prefer Linux’s md.Ībout four years ago we purchased a M元50 G5 server with some SATA disks and a small BBWC, put them into RAID 10 with a spare.
