Disk failure on server – things to try:

These suggestions can apply if the drive is reporting failure whilst the server is online (a flashing orange light on the disk) or if you get that POST message drive array or disk failure message.

  • Try reseating the disk – this can force a rebuild if the disk has errored incorrectly
  • Check the disk and controller firmware, sometimes this can cause an issue
  • Power cycle the server for 30 seconds or so and see if this clears everything
