Looks like I'm going to have to rebuild the machine, since I must have hosed something in its configuration, but ...
have a server, 6 slots, 5 of which were 'active drives' (0->4) ... drive 2 crashed, so figured I'd take slot 5 and put it over into slot 2 and have it rebuild ... when I tried to do the repair, it told me that the drive in 5 was down, but didn't mention anything about slot 2 ... so, I got the tech to pull out, and reseat, slot 5 ... and it proceeded to rebuild ...
but, when he reseated, it generated the following error:
Oct 8 12:05:55 pluto /kernel: iir0: SCSI-B, ID 5: SEAGATE ST336607LC 320MB/s Oct 8 12:05:57 pluto /kernel: iir0: Array Drive 0: drive rebuild started Oct 8 12:05:57 pluto /kernel: iir0: SCSI-B, ID 5: Auto Hot Plug started for slot 5 Oct 8 12:05:57 pluto /kernel: iir0: SCSI-B, ID 5: disk inserted into slot 5 Oct 8 12:05:58 pluto /kernel: iir0: SCSI-B, ID 5: plugging an active disk in slot 5 is illegal
Now, originally, when I set things up, I had it as 5 drives + 1 hot spare ... one drive failed, hot spare cut in ... we replaced the failed drive, which is the one in slot 5, but I could never figure out how to make *it* the hot spare again ... :(
now, according to storcon, it had gotten to about 50% rebuilt, and then crashed again ... I'm going to do a rebuild/reformat of the server tomorrow, but am curious about the 'active disk' thing ... am I run in guessing that it is because of how I had originally set it up with the hot spare, so even though slot 5 wasn't being used, the controller thought it was?
Thanks ...
