Not detecting hdd

Hi,

Since you didn't specify the server model i can't point to the exact solution.

Normally this can occur if

1: Motherboard issue ( Plannar)
2: Memory Issue
3: Raid controller issue

Check orange amber lights on front panel.
If you find ,
1: Remove memory and raid re-fix it . Make sure the memory has no problem .
2: Refix raid controller .

Now check

Thanks

Besides remove the raid c

I have got a 3 disk raid5 IBM xseries Server which does not boot. How can I resque data from these disks?

I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that you don't have a good backup of the data on your RAID array. So, generally speaking, the operating system is probably installed on a separate disk from your raid array (not a guarantee). But if this is so then you should be able to reinstall your operating system and drivers (esp RAID controller) to that (separate) disk and you're off to the races (replace this system disk if necessary). -OR- Depending on the make of your RAID controller you may be able to transplant your RAID controller into another machine and all the original drives along with it, so long as it has a battery backup and you place all the drives in their original order. If there is no battery backup on your RAID controller then DON'T PULL THE PLUG ON THE ORIGINAL MACHINE AND DON'T EVEN CONSIDER removing the RAID controller in any way. If you have any doubts, whatsoever, have someone with experience in RAID arrays do the work for you. It will be well worth it! (RAID arrays aren't for the faint of heart)...

2807

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.

SERVER IBM SYSTEM X3400: "CONTROLLER MONITOR

Hi,

Welcome to fixya

This error can come if there is any issue on Raid controller

Most probably , dust will be the enemy.

Just re-fix the raid controller and check. ( Power off the server while doing this job)

After re-fix check if it works . If it doesn't then it's time to replace the controller.

Thanks

Vote me if it helps you

I have IBM eServer with ServeRaid-7K on board controller and have 3 SCSI 73GB hard drives configured in RAID-5 array. Hard Drives are running critically low on space and I bought 3 300GB scsi Ultra320 hard...

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.
