i've a NX200 Dell Server with a PERC S300 raid card. After few problems with our old disks (readable but degraded), we changed our 4 disks : - HE253GJ (250 Gb, 7.2 rpm, 3 gbps, before) with - ST500DM002 (500 gb, 7.2 rpm, 6 gbps, after)
But there is a strange problem (i'm beginner ...), the 2 slot didn't recognize the disk (no led, nothing in RAID management). I've swap all disk to isolate the problem but it persist. I think the problem must be the slot, but ... If I insert an old disk in this slot, absolutely no problem, there is recognized and detected (but degraded, sure).
Sometimes, if i waiting 2/3 mns in raid software and if i start a rescan to find more disk, the 2 slot showing up and i can build my raid without problem ...
Do you have an idea ? Thanks !
