Netfinity 5500 M10 Raid 5 (3 Disks) Windows NT

Recently the 3rd drive failed...
Ordered the replacement drive and installed it
ServeRaid (version 3.0.14) still sees it the old drive and will not rebuild the new disk
Any help here is greatly appreciated
Thanks
 
Have you tried to use RaidManager and "Scan for new drives"?

Yes I have tried to scan for new drives... to rebuild the the drive after replacing it... setting the device state to ONL from DDD...

I also updated the device driver and the firmware after looking at an article on IBM's support site


I tried to rebuild while using the Linux Startup Disk... still no success

After updating the the driver and firmware it still doesn't see either the new drives (I've tried two different identical drives)
