Troubleshooting
Inconsistent naming may occur between the Power-On Self Test (POST) and the
Integrated ATA RAID Configuration Utility. Such is the case when a drive has
failed in a RAID 1 or RAID 1+0 configuration. The POST message will list the
array as running in a
Degraded
state and the Integrated ATA RAID
Configuration Utility will list it as being in a
Rebuilding
state. If this
inconsistency occurs, the array must be rebuilt.
If you add drives to a configuration, the Integrated ATA RAID Management
Utility tray icon (which is seen only under Microsoft operating systems) may
indicate yellow or red, depending on the array condition. The color change
indicates one of the following situations:
— Errors are present on the array.
— Error data from an earlier application of the drive is present, and is
mistakenly being presented as new errors. Right-click on the tray icon and
select Erase Error Log from the menu. If these are new errors, they will be
rediscovered by the server.
Drive Connection Tips
If you have two drives, connect one on each ATA/100 RAID channel. The
performance of the array is enhanced when both channels are utilized.
