VIRTUAL DISK MANAGER THE REQUEST FAILED WINDOWS
In some cases this can cause "false" restore states accentuated by windows file pointers. The LSI controller card does not contain a battery backup, and for this reason, keeps the last known good configuration in it's running memory. NOTE: Prior to the next step, power off and power the appliance back on. This should move them from the Virtual Drive's "Drive Group" to "Unconfigured Devices" Mark all failed drives as missing as shown previously. This means the DIP's D:\is no longer present, and all iSCSI VHD’s are gone.

The controller's Virtual Drive is also in a failed state. The initial recovery steps for a two drive failure are similar to that of a one drive failure, but additional steps are required in order to make the DIP functional again. When working with a DIP that is configured for RAID 5 and that has suffered a two drive failure, all data that was contained on the virtual drive will be lost. Rebuild times will vary based on several factors The rebuild process may take several hours to finish. Push the hard drive carrier into the bay until the handle retracts and the hard drive clicks into the locked position.Īfter removing the failed drive and physically installing the replacement, the newly inserted drive should automatically go into "Rebuild" Push the hard drive horizontally into the hard drive bay, orienting the hard drive so that the release button is on the right.ġ0. Push against the upper part of the hard drive handle.ĩ. Secure the hard drive to the hard drive carrier using six screwsĨ. Align the mounting holes in both, the hard drive carrier and the hard drive.ħ. Slide a new hard drive into the hard drive carrier with the printed circuit board side facing down.Ħ. Remove the defective drive from the hard drive carrier and place the hard drive carrier on a flat surface.ĥ. Use the handle to pull the drive out of the chassisģ. Remove the screws securing the dummy drive to the hard drive carrier.Ĥ.This extends the hard drive carrier handle Press the release button to the right of the hard drive carrier.The unit features hot-swappable hard drives which can be removed without powering down the system The hard drives are mounted in hard drive carriers to simplify their installation and removal from the chassis. To locate the correct drive for replacement, right click the drive's icon and select "Start Locating Drive". Note: If during this process you receive "Alerts", select "Dismiss". This marks an offline/failed drive of a degraded array as missing in order to prepare the drive for replacement Once the drive has been identified, right click the icon and select "Mark Drive as Missing“

While drives are hot swappable, the proper steps to replace a drive are:ġ. From the "Logical" tab menu, the failed drive can be identified by the red dot next to the drive icon.Ģ. When working with a DIP that is configured for RAID 5, the array itself can sustain a one drive failure and successfully recover with all data intact.
