I have an IBM server with a 6i controller which I use for a prod server...
A single RAID 5 stripe across 6 disks in an x235.
A couple of weeks ago I had a disk go defunct, so, duly replaced the disk, and the rebuild starts (HA HA) in ServeRAID manager the progress bar for the rebuild never gets past 0%. Then the rebuild fails and leaves the array in a "rebuilding" state. I spoke with IBM, they came out, told us to upgrade firmware and drivers. Done.
Same problem. They suggested a new drive. Done.
Same problem. They suggest that we have a "bad stripe", and that we need to break the RAID and rebuild...
Has anyone experienced this problem with the 6i card? I need to know before I go and do the rebuild (which I HATE doing, I am not buying the bad stripe story)...
