Re: disk failure on cluster array

Dear Icemon,

It seems a bit much to me and I would guess that modern disk arrays (both
direct SCSI attach as well as any SAN implementation) would do a rebuild of
the RAID on the Array, with the host connected and online.

However my advice is to follow your vendors instructions.

I know this is probably not the answer you were hoping for, but it all
depends on your hardware vendor to provide support for replacing a hard
drive.

good luck and
rgds,
Edwin.

We experienced a disk failure on the cluster array. It's a
active/passive SQL cluster. I was told by dell that we must powerdown
the passive before replacing the failed drive because otherwise both
servers will attempt to rebuild the array. Is this true? Can you
simply swap out the bad drive or will I need to power down the passave
node?
