MPB96 board troubleshooting 23
Trouble Action
The system does not
rebuild a new drive installed
to replace a faulty drive. When you replace a defective drive, the new drive must be larger
than the original drive. In this case, the system rebuilds the new
drive.
However, if the new drive is smaller than the original drive, it must
not be smaller by more than 1 GB. If the new drive is smaller than the
original drive by less than 1 Gbyte, the GBWay setting in the Adapter
properties is disabled. Enable the GBWay setting and start a new
RAID configuration. Because starting a new RAID configuration
erases the existing data, back up the system before proceeding.
The system does not rebuild a drive if an incorrect combination of
operating system utility and RAID firmware is used on your system.
Refer to either the 703t, 1002rp, 1005r or 600r Server Maintenance
and Diagnostics guide for valid RAID firmware.
Note: Non-supported combinations of operating system utility and
RAID firmware can corrupt your system and prevent drives from
rebuilding.
The system does
not rebuild the drive
automatically after you
replaced a faulty drive. The Automatic rebuild feature is disabled in the BIOS on the 703t
platform. Initiate the rebuilding process manually in the Windows
MegaRAID utility.

ATTENTION
Risk of data loss
The FWChecker.bat tool is packaged with the dbg128.exe utility. Do not use the
dbg128.exe outside the FWChecker.bat tool. You can destabilize or crash your
system, and lose data.
The FWChecker.bat tool checks the FPGA firmware on the MPB96 board.
The dbg128.exe file must be present in the same directory so that you can
run the to be able to run the FWChecker.bat tool. Two versions of the
FWChecker.bat tool are available:
