I have a SuperMicro server with the intel rapid storage enterprise SCU using a RAID 1 (mirrored).
One of the drives failed but I am unable to determine which.
The status of the drives is "bootable - no".
In the original configuration the list of drives is:
SATA 0 - Error Occurred(0)
SATA 1 - Offline Member
Removing either drive to boot from a single drive and swapping ports results in Error Occurred(0) still as bootable - no.
I attempt to recover the volume like I used to in the Intel Matrix Storage Technology setup in the BIOS, but there is no prompt to recover, when entering the raid configuration settings for the failed volume.
This prevents the ability to have redundancy that I was expecting from the mirrored drives, if one fails, the other should run in it's place notifying me of the degraded status like the Matrix Storage technology would do. But for some reason the Rapid storage SCU fails to say degraded at all.
I even tried two different drives and they are detected fine by the rapid storage SCU to see if it was a faulty controller.
I decided to test the drives in an older server that has the older matrix storage technology instead of rapid storage scu and it prompts me to recover the failed volume.
I don't believe it would be safe to attempt a recovery this way. Any suggestions on how to recover the failed mirrored volume?
I went to call intel for support but they are closed on the weekends.
