highpoint rr62x RAID 5 status disable, recover saying parameter error
I have been using a
Highpoint rr62x controller(BIOS version 1.3)for about a decade now. The RAID-5 volume is containing 4 disks-each 3TB.
For the last five years my RAID has been disabled. I have three 3TB spares to rebuild it but there is no option for a rebuild.
Every time I go into the BIOS, it shows me that there is one disk or no RAID.
But if I go into the Web GUI, it shows me three out of four disks are functioning.
There are three buttons when I click on the
RAID, Delete(nope), Unplug(no), and Recover(which is the only option in my favor). Every time I press it, it says Parameter Error.
The RAID is still in disable but this data is important, though not everyone has $1000 lying around. And even if let's just say I don't need it right,12TB gone.
No one has posted anything about enabling a RAID so I'm stuck.
The solution to this problem is to break the RAID and then use a RAID recovery software to recover data.
