Hi all,
I have a system that crashed with a RAID of 2 drives. It would not boot up at all, the errors that were coming up when rebooting was garbled rubbish. Upon looking on here, it looked like the drives were knackered.
I tried to reload the software via vxworks and it fails after extracting the Boot_Install file. When I try to boot it from /partition1/RTC8260 OR /partition4/RTC8260 it fails saying:
RAID Controller Detected
ERROR !!!!. No valid drives found.
Bay 1 is drive as a hard fault.
Bay 2 is drive as a hard fault.
Rebooting
Now, I know what you're going to say...faulty drives! I have swapped out the drives with new ones and it still does not work! It doesn't detect them at all.
***The drives are exactly the same Seagate 80gb***
Fault finding process:
1) Swapped out the drives - the RAID controller has 2 orange lights for both drives on the back.
2) Swapped RAID controller - no help
3) Swapped the drives into another MXe - still the same issue
4) Tried loading new software using FixPartition method
Is there something i'm missing?? I have not dabbled with the mirror cntrol on the RAID controller yet.
Many thanks in advance!
