Hello! I've got an IBM netfinity 5600 with the ServerRAID 3L II card controlling 5 SCSI drives in (what should be a RAID 5 array) When I boot and select CTRL-I I am able to see all five drives, two say they are rebuilding, one is online, and the others are labeled as dead. After that I can also see when in boot that the system reflects that the logical drive is OFFLINE. I have also went into the SCSI select option utility and searched for the drives on busses A & B and it does not see them. I have been told that IBM has a download that I can use to manipulate what they say is a misconfigured Array. I 1. cannot find this utility and 2. do not know if this is correct advice. Can anyone help?
 
garettc, did you try using the ServeRAID application (don't know off hand if it supports the 3L), but it will help you configure the array
