Repair HP SmartArray p410i

You have a 3-disk RAID 5 disk array. One of the disks had failed or is failing. Another of the three disks may be failing.

• Do you know how long this drive has been in the failed state? (orange light means drive failure)
• What size disks are these?
• What model of server is this?

My recommendation is to power the server off, remove the power cables and let the drives spin down. Leave the server off for 5-10 minutes.

Power on and watch the system POST messages carefully. When the P410 controller initializes, it will tell you what its status is (e.g. Drive in Slot #1 failed). If prompted to "disable" or "enable" logical drives, press "F2".

See if the system boots...

If the system boots fully, you may need to plan for one or two new disks, depending on the array status. Can you reply with the server model and other information I requested?

Edit:

Look very closely at the failed disk. The Spare Part number is listed on the drive's label. Your server may still be under warranty. The server warranty covers the parts inside of it. You can look up the status of the warranty on HP's web site. If your system is out of warranty, you can just order a 146GB 10K SAS hard drive using the part number listed on the disk.
