UCS c220 giving long beeps, Hardisk replaced, but status still Unconfigured

[ifthi.cisco]

Hello All,

We have installed a brand new UCS Server for CUCM 10.5 a couple of weeks back. Recently the UCS Server started giving long beep sounds.

When we check through CIMC we found that the status of the Physical Drive 2 was showing “Foreign Config.” And the health as “Moderate Fault”.

We have two Hardisks in RAID 0 group and one of those is Physical Drive 2 which has the problem. Pls find the attachment  “Physical Drive 1" and "Virtual Drive 1”.

We have raised support request with Cisco and successfully replaced the problematic Hardisk yesterday.

However, the status of the Physical Hardisk  is showing “Un Configured” but the Health status is “Good”.

The Virtual Drive Info tab the status is still “Severe Fault”  and the Hard drive is showing as “Missing”

The long beep sound is still there. Pls find the attachment “Physical Drive 2" and "Virtual Drive 2”. for more information.

Need your help to bring this Hardisk Online from UnConfigured. Do I need to Initialize the Hardisk for inclusion in RAID0?

RAID 0 does not support disk failures, so you need to take both disks and configure them for RAID 0 again and then install the OS.

Let me know if you try to configure RAID 0 and the controller does not see the disk.

HTH,

Hello Keny,

Thanks for the reply.

I shutdown the server and configured Raid 1 through CIMC as the boot drive for VMware and installed VMware and mapped the server from Raid 5  The problem is now fixed.

Thank you,
