This is literally my first time ever replacing a RAID drive on a production server, and I want to make sure I don't screw it up. According to page 102 of the manual and the server's iLO interface, this drive is in a "Degraded (Predictive failure)" state. Yesterday, one of the 300 GB drives in the server's RAID 5 array (there's three drives in the array in total) started to alternately flash green and amber. ![]() The server's RAID controller is a Smart Array P420i Controller. (We only need the physical server to last a few more months until I move the last remaining app server to the cloud, and switch all our users/machines to Azure AD from on premise AD). The virtual host itself isn't being backed up, but the virtual servers running on it are backed up to Azure. We're using it as a Hyper-V host to 4 virtual servers. We have an HP ProLiant D元80p Gen8 Server that is no longer under any sort of support contract from HP. ![]() ![]() I'm a relatively new (and the only) system admin at my organization.
