Open manage and array manager are the two pieces of software usually is to
be installed...

How old is the server / warranty left ?

Use Dell online support option... its quite good.

I don't think it has any diag.oftware. At least I don't see any on the
server. It is a Dell PowerEdge. The other PowerEdge we have has diag.
software, but this one doesn't have it loaded. I think I'll load it on
this server.

Hi Chad

I would generally be feeling the same as Steve.

Does your RAID card have any diagnostic software, this will definately
give
you required info.

If drive was failing the software would say failing, also are there any
configs to alert you i.e my raids have a facility to scream at me if
there
was an issue so you are aware prior to disaster.

That's what I was afraid of. I diverted my backups to a USB external
until I can replace it.

I had to reboot my server since it was completely unresponsive. I
went
through the event logs and found the following:

1:17:29 AM device \Device\Scsi\mraid2k1 Did not respond within the
specified time out period
1:17:39 AM system shutdown was unexpected
7:34:11 AM driver detected a controller error on
\Device\Harddisk1\DR4

Any help??
