A technician receives an alert that a server's hot-swappable hardware RAID 5 volume is operating in a degraded state due to a single drive failure. What is the correct sequence of steps the technician should follow to replace the drive and restore full array redundancy?
- 1Identify the failed drive slot using the hardware RAID management utility and physical enclosure status LEDs.
- 2Unlatch and remove the failed drive assembly from the active hot-swap bay.
- 3Insert a new drive of equal or greater capacity into the empty bay and secure the latch.
- 4Verify or initiate the automatic rebuild process through the RAID management software.
- 5Confirm that the RAID volume status reports Optimal in the management console once parity sync completes.
Cevap
The technician must first identify the failed drive using software and LED indicators, remove the faulty disk from the hot-swap bay, insert a replacement drive of equal or larger capacity, verify or initiate the rebuild process, and finally confirm that the array status returns to Optimal.
When recovering a degraded RAID 5 array on a hot-swappable server, the technician must accurately identify the failed disk to prevent pulling a working drive. Removing the failed unit, inserting a replacement with equal or greater storage capacity, monitoring the rebuild operation, and verifying optimal status in the management console is the standard sequential procedure for maintaining data integrity.
