A network administrator receives an alert indicating that a server hosting a hardware RAID 5 array is operating in a degraded status following a single disk failure. The server platform supports hot-swappable storage drives. Place the standard administrative steps for replacing the failed drive and restoring array redundancy into the correct sequential order from first to last.
- 1Identify the precise faulty drive bay using the RAID controller management interface and physical chassis indicator LED.
- 2Release the carrier latch and remove the failed drive from the active chassis while the server remains powered on.
- 3Install a replacement drive of equal or greater capacity and identical interface type into the drive bay tray and lock it in place.
- 4Access the RAID controller console to assign the new disk as a replacement member and start the array rebuild process.
- 5Monitor the rebuild progress until the array status transitions from degraded back to optimal.
Cevap
The correct sequence for replacing a failed hot-swappable RAID 5 drive is: 1) Identify the failed drive bay using the controller utility and chassis LED, 2) Remove the failed drive while the system is powered on, 3) Install a replacement drive of equal or greater capacity, 4) Initiate or confirm the rebuild in the RAID management console, and 5) Monitor the rebuild process until optimal array status is restored.
The correct operational sequence begins with identifying the specific failed drive using management tools and physical lights to avoid disturbing working drives. Next, the technician hot-swaps the physical hardware by unlatching the failed disk while online and inserting a replacement drive meeting capacity specifications. Afterward, the technician uses the RAID controller utility to start or confirm the rebuild operation. Finally, monitoring the array confirms that parity reconstruction finishes successfully and array health returns to optimal.
