A technician receives an alert indicating that a server using a hardware RAID 5 array has entered a degraded state due to a single drive failure. What is the correct sequence of steps the technician should take to replace the failed drive and restore the array to an optimal state?
- 1Verify array backup status and identify the specific physical drive slot marked failed using the RAID management software.
- 2Remove the failed hard drive from its hot-swap carrier bay.
- 3Insert a replacement drive of equal or greater capacity into the empty bay and secure the latch.
- 4Initiate or confirm automatic rebuild of the RAID array using the RAID controller management utility.
- 5Monitor the rebuild process until complete and verify the array status reports optimal/healthy.
Cevap
The proper procedure begins with verifying backups and identifying the failed drive slot, removing the failed drive from the bay, installing an appropriate replacement drive, starting the RAID array rebuild process, and monitoring the rebuild until optimal status is restored.
The correct sequence prioritizes accurate drive identification and data safety first, followed by physical drive swap, software rebuild initiation, and final verification of array health.
