Replace HDD in UCS-B2x

[o_unzueta]

We have a UCS with B200 blades.

One of the HDD has led in STATIC AMBER, (this is a HDD Failure acording to the documentation), but the UCS manager did no show any alert.

My first question is.... Should i see any alert in the UCS Manager? do i have to turn on any kind of monitoring for the HDD??

The HDD was mirrored with RAID 1, so why decided to install a replacement.

We extracted the faulty HDD and  inserted a new one (Because they are Hot Swap we did this with the server on).

But now the UCS Manager is showing the HDD as a UNKNOWN Disk, so it did not recognise it

We restarted the server with no luck.

Do i have to do any kind of procedure for the UCS to recognise the new disk and reconstruct the RAID 1 mirror????

Thanks

Hello,

UCSM has limitation on what info it receives from onboard RAID controller and there are bugs around incorrect HDD status.

After replacing the HDD, please verify status of both HDDs from RAID utility ( from webios during boot up ) and RAID has been rebuilt or not ?

I would suggest you to open a TAC SR with following information

Chassis number and Server slot

UCSM and corresponding Chassis tech support bundle
