2008 Servers RAID configuration - HP Proliant DL380G6

    I have SQL 2008 servers. I have researched which RAID config to use, and decided to go with RAID-1.

    This is since speed is not a major issue, while data protection is.

    My question is: Once you setup RAID-1. Say later on, you get a HD failure. What do you have to do to recover?

    Thanks,

    If a drive fails you would need to replace the drive and rebuild your raid array using the RAID console.

    With RAID 1, when you have a HD failure, the other HD continues to function as a single drive until the failed drive is replaced. What you need to do is:

    1 Order a new HD

    2 Shut down the server

    3 Replace the failed HD

    4 Power up the server

    The RAID controller will automatically recreate your RAID 1.
