HP P410i Array Controller and lost logical Drive

Solution 1:

HP ProLiant Smart Array RAID technology stores the array information on the actual drives and not on the controller. Disk drive position within the cage is EXTREMELY important.

• Turn the server off.
• Remove the power cables from the system.
• Remove the drives and place them back in the original drive order. I don't know if disks were moved, but go back to the original setup.
• Do not insert the 6th drive that you added after the fact.
• Reinsert the power cables and power the machine on.
• Watch the POST and boot process. If prompted by the Array BIOS utility, ensure the arrays are enabled and not disabled (often need to press "F2").
• See if the system boots and both arrays show up.

Please report back with what happens.

May I ask what you were trying to do by inserting the new drive? Please provide more detail.
