24 Hour Catastrophic Technoogie Failure
on July 18th, 2010 at 10:14 pmToday we just recovered from a SCSI drive failure. Usually I have everything running on RAID 5 Array’s but this host machine was a temp installation that got forgot about and had two stripped drives. One started failing on Saturday.
The controller placed the drive set into a RO (Read Only) mode to save the data on it. I then made a sector copy with Acronis 10 and restored it to a new array but had to use the same configuration because there isn’t enough room for a RAID 5 setup. Because the controller created the array with a new ID the VM’s had to be edited because the path to the VMFS had changed. The file to change is the VMname.VMX file.
I apologize for the down time if you were looking for something yesterday.
