Hello,
For the past couple days I have been trying to get a Netfinity 5600 8664-3AY. I've downloaded the ServeRAID support CD, as well as an old version of ServerGuide which supports the server.
The server appears to fuction fine. I can go into the ServerRAID Mini-Configuration and all drives so RDY, as they should.
I have updated the BIOS' from the ServerGuide CD.
However, when I try to create a RAID array in either ServerGuide or ServeRAID and go to apply the configuration I get the following errors:
Logical drive is offline: controller 1, logical drive 1
Defunct drive - I/O subsystem error: controller 1, channel 1, SCSI ID 4 (FRU Part # 37L5725)
Defunct drive - I/O subsystem error: controller 1, channel 1, SCSI ID 3 (FRU Part # 37L5725)
Defunct drive - I/O subsystem error: controller 1, channel 1, SCSI ID 2 (FRU Part # 37L5725)
Could not create a hot-spare drive: controller 1, channel 1, SCSI ID 0. Result codes: [RC:-5 GSB:0xc ESB:0x77]
Error creating logical drive: controller 1, logical drive 1. Result codes: [RC:-5 GSB:0xc ESB:0x76]
After this all drives in the system show DEFUNCT. If I reboot and go back into the ServeRAID mini-configuration the drives show DDD. I can then restore to factory-default settings and the drives show RDY again.
Is this a problem with the RAID controller? Or is there a chance all the drives could be dead? ANY advice would be greatly recommended.
Thanks
