Hello,
My raid is failing.
I have two Xserve Raids ( 14 disks, 7 per raid controller ).
Each group of 7 is hardware raid5.
The two resulting raid5 dists (2.7 TB ) in each are software striped using disk utility.
Those 5.5 TB striped disks are then mirrored also using disk utility.
The Xserve has OS X server 10.4.11
The raid mirror is now degraded, and one of the disks is missing. Completely gone.
everything is green in raid admin, and I don’t have a reason to suspect hardware failure.
The raids are hooked up via fiber channel cards.
How can I get the disk to reinitialize or reappear?
How can I repair the mirror once it shows up again.
thanks in advance.
