Replaced Drive in PE T410 Not adding to Virtual Disk
-
Sounds like the system detected the drive as new and not to be placed into the existing array. You should be able to mark the drive as intended for replacement, but I don't have OMSA in front of me to see where to do it.
Non-Dell drive could initiate this kind of issue, though.
-
I've never had to do this. The drives have always started to rebuild.
-
and I can't give an example, because I don't have a disk sitting there.

I tired that, but there are two options, you have to select an old one and new one to replace and since I do not have that option, I cant use that option.

What RAID Level?

Yup, no idea then.

Does not really matter.

In the end, that is what we found. Adding it to the hot spares then threw the drive into "failure" so the drive was not new since it detected foreign and the OMSA logs are being picky about it not being a certified drive. I was not involved until the swap, so I would have recommended a Dell drive anyway.

The non-Dell drive and having hot swaps are regular problems with this kind of thing.

Yeah after my limited experience with this, not sure I would ever trust using a non-DELL drive.
At least on a production system.
