Hi,
I have a RS2BL040 on esxi 5. Recently I had an outage of a disk on my raid1 DG. I couldn't find exact instructions on how to rebuild so going off of what little I saw I added the new drive and it wasn't very apparent how to rebuild on the new drive so I pulled out the bad drive and that was a BIG mistake. Now the controller has marked the bad drive as missing in the disk group and I cannot remove it or rebuild it. The only thing that it will let me do is to build a new DG with the new drive. I tried putting back the defective drive but it won't match it up with the drive in the raid1 DG in order to run the rebuild. I've tried several things now including direct removal of the bad drive but I am getting an error saying "unacceptable reconstruction parameter"
I am using the raid controller bios and not the web console. There is not reason for that other than the raid web console seems extremely difficult to install on esxi. I have a feeling that the web console allows more actions, but I wanted to ask before going to the trouble of installing it.
Let me know what you think.
thanks!
