Hello,
Server is SBS2003SP2 w/ SATA RAID 1 for OS & Apps, SATA RAID 5 for
data, MB is Asus K8N-DL, 4GB RAM, all drives are SATA Raptors except
for (1) IDE drive for backups.
I came in today to a locked-up server...first time this has happened
since the machine was built by me in 2005. Upon hard reset I
discovered my RAID1 array was 'degraded'...I let it pass that point
and I received a MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION STOP: 0X0000009C
[0x0000004,0x808977A0, 0xB2000000, 0x00070F0F]. I checked my log (yes
I write down every single thing that involves the server) and found
the exact same set of numbers when I had problems installing the IDE
drive 1 year ago, which eventually installed OK. I rebooted the
server and tried to boot again.
Again I saw the "degraded array" but I was hesitant to rebuild within
BIOS until I got a good boot...which I did, and the server is working
normally now. When I look in Disk Management I see two separate 34GB
drives, one as C: and one as F:. Both are Healthy, one is Active, one
is Boot. Here is my plan for this evening:
1. Format drive F: in Disk Management
2. Reboot and rebuild array in RAID 1 BIOS
I have 2 spare Raptors so I could replace the drives, but I will have
limited time and I think this was just a glitch, not a bad drive. The
system is also quite dirty so it will get a good air cleaning first.
I believe the problem was with the IDE drive, as the event happened 1
hour after SBSbackup to the IDE drive. I am eager to hear if anyone
else has thoughts/suggestions.
Tony
