Replacing a Failed drive in MD RAID 10
-
So at this point I have the disk marked as failed, and removed from the array as shown below.
As you can see sdc is not a part of the array at the moment, which means nothing will be written to the disk. Obviously I'm in a dangerous point in time.
If I can't get my replacement disk soon, I risk losing the entire array.
Now, because I've ready had issues with this array (specifically the disk) I have nothing running on this system that I don't have several backups of. So the drive has been ordered and will be here in a day or so.
At which point I'll shutdown the server, remove the bad disk, and put the new one in.

While I wait for that drive to arrive, I'm going to figure out how to configure email alerts for the mdadm array. Seeing as this would be incredibly useful to have.
Since I can't sit here watching the cat /proc/mdstat....

No remote ssh access?

@travisdh1 I do have access, but I'm still not going to sit here and watch it.

So now that I have the email alerts configured for my Xen Servers, I really want to work on updating SmartCTL so it supports the drives that I have in this server.
Which are pretty common drives.
Western Digital Red 1TB.
I'm really surprised how old of a database is built into XenServer 6.5.
So time to figure this part out.
