Replacing Failed drive in Server (RAID 1+0) 7 years 10 months ago #817

Hi,

I have 2 x DL 380 G6 Servers in a HA-Lizard NoSAN configuration.

The servers each have a RAID 1+0 array consisting of 6 x 300GB Disks - this is presented into XenServer as my HA-Lizard iSCSI SR.

One of the Servers has just reported that one of the 300GB Disks has failed.

Am I OK to just pull the old drive and put a new one in? I'm assuming that because the HP Server's RAID controller owns the disks, that HA-Lizard will not notice anything is happening whilst the drive is rebuilt...

I thought I should ask just in case I need to be doing something different as I know these days its not always just "put a new disk in" (thinking ZFS pools, etc.)

Thanks,

Adam

Correct. You can simply replace the drive. Nothing to do. DRBD is not aware since it sees the storage exposed through the RAID controller.
