IBM Serveraid 7K onboard not responding properly error code 2807

This could be an issue with the Raid backplane. If under warranty I would replace the backplane.
Even if no warranty you might be able to find one cheaply used.

replace the raid card with battery. problem will resolve 100%

Ooh, ooh, I know this one. Is it an x346?

Did you also get "error 2807-01 Controller Onboard detected an internal error error 2200
CPPRHTS1&1 FAIL DATA: 035-253-001-20100309-58-RAID"?

Get a 71P8644. I've had two servers fail identically as above. Solid fixes.

Or use a Search Engine if your server/symptom differ.

Hi dude,
i already answer the same problem as yours, on my case it's because swollen battery push the RAID memory and make it bent, so the contact point become loose, if you want more detail see on:

I found the same problem with you and found the solution. Open your server casing and try to locate a battery attached to RAID memory. On my case the battery swollen and make the card bent. For the more detail i wrote on http://hubpages.com/hub/IBM-error-code-2807

First, buy an external storage device, at least 80GB (although it's currently difficult to find any _smaller_ size!) and make a file-by-file, folder-by-folder, backup of your 73GB of "data".

Second, buy another external storage device, and do a Google-search for "drive image freeware".
Pick one of those applications, and do a "image" backup to this second external storage device.

Third, disconnect the 3 "old" drives, carefully label them, and set them aside.

Fourth, connect the 3 "new" drives, delete the old RAID-5 array definition,
and create a new RAID-5 array definition.

Fifth, do an "image restore" from the second external storage device to the new array.

If you have any problems, all you need to do to "back-out" is to:
* disconnect the "new" drives
* reconnect the "old" drives
* delete the "new" array definition
* redefine the "old" array definition

and you're back to the "old" configuration.

It means that your raid is not seeing its drives. Usually after a power failure.

Rebooting the server will fix it in the short term.

To fix it long term you need to update the servers firmware.

You need to use download, boot from and use the ServeRAID Support CD and the RAID controller tools on that disc. You cannot modify RAID controller features on the 7k while it is operational and/or in use.
See ServeRAID support page at http://www-947.ibm.com/systems/support/supportsite.wss/docdisplay?brandind=5000008&lndocid=MIGR-62462

It is on the Restore disk under NFRD960.INF
