I'm using 02 HPE Integrity rx2800 i2 Servers. Each of them is running two hard disks in RAID10 configuration.
I'd like to add one more disk to server, of course not into the exsisting RAID10.
I was succesful in inserting disk to first server, but It failed when doing with second server.
The server didn't boot at an early state. May be the RAID controller was stalling when scanning the bus for harddisks and preventing the host from booting. I guess so.
I didn't see any alarms.
I have tried with another disk, but the same status.
I did the following steps to insert new disk:
- Insert new disk to server.
- Shutdown C-LES
- Reboot server and enter EFI shell
- Use drvcfg command to enter RAID configuration tool. ( the command is 'drvcfg -s 9a 9c')
- Select the new unused harddisk from the menu driven interface and and add it to the RAID controller
- Boot the server as normal, but cannot boot.
Does anyone know the reason, and how can I troubleshoot?
Thanks.
