Adaptec RAID 5 issue
Hello,
I have a fair amount of RAID experience, but I am not sure what I am missing.
I have an Adaptec 3200S, i have a 5 drive RAID 5 array. The drive at ID 1,2 showed failed, both in bus and under array. Array showed degraded. I replaced the failed drive. Under normal operation I had drives 1,1-1,5. Now that I have replaced the faulty drive, it shows up as 1,2 as the original had, but now there is a 1,0 status missing. I never had a 1,0 until I replaced the failed drive. Also, now that I have an addition drive (ghost image of some sort??) that isn't actually there, the RAID section shows 1,1 optimal 1,0 missing, and 1,3-1,5 optimal, array status degraded, and no 1,2 which is what failed and was replaced to begin with.
To me this seems asinine, that when I replaced a drive and used identical SCSI ID's, that is generates a new ID for the drive that isn't there.
I have gone into the rebuild array section, and it does nothing at all when I select it.
I know I have fixed a problem like this some time ago, but, for the life of me I can't remember how I did it.
Thanks in advance!
