RAID 1 disk failure - Help!

[KevinH]

Thank you, I'll take a look at that asap.

New disk now installed, Dell engineer simply took out the duff disk, replaced it and went back into the bios LSI config - the disk just started rebuilding all by itself, exactly as others had stated above (thanks for the warning about not removing the array).

 

By the way, I saw that the RAID adapter is in fact a PERC H200A.

It is indeed rebuilding much faster than previously - should be done within 4 hours.

 

I'll keep you posted

 

A mirror raid trying to rebuild to a faulty disk could be viewed in the Encyclopedia as the definition of "Circle Jerk"

Update...

 

Array finished rebuilding to the new disk and OS HyperV host booted up fine. Spent time checking various logs and running a scans but all looks good.

Same for the VM. Booted up and seems back to normal.

 

Thanks again for your help.
