Waking a dead thread I had a similar issue happen this morning with our MD1000. I got a notice from Symantec Backup that the volume was offline and come in this beautiful Monday morning to find 13 of the 15 1TB drives flashing failed on the chassis along with the warning beep. I booted into the PERC5/E BIOS/config and it showed the 2 remaining non-failed drives as OK and foreign configuration. I have never had this issue before but glad I found this thread. I imported the foreign configuration and forced back online the 13 drives one at a time (no particular order). It appears to be healthy but I'm running a consistency check right now. Will probably grab the newest firmware and update. It's been stable for 4-5 years without issue before this on the same server/setup, etc. --Mike
