HP Server RAID 10 problem

[TerraNova]

I have RAID 10 with 6 hdd. Can Winhex supports RAID 10 with 6 hdd to rebuild the array?

Thank you

RAID 10 it is mirror + stripe . You need only find 3 different disks and rebuild a stripe (raid0) in WinHex

Use winhex to identify which disks are the mirrorred ones, exclude these and build a 3 disk RAID 0 with Winhex. As far as I know though dont compaq arrays use headers? You might want to use the XOR test not to verify parity (as this is a RAID 0) but to try identify where partition begins at.

This is what i get from the RAID configuration screen:

(FOREIGN) 1:0 UNCONF BAD
(FOREIGN) 1:1 UNCONF BAD
(FOREIGN) 1:2 ONLINE
(FOREIGN) 1:3 ONLINE
(PORTS 4:7) 1:4 UNCONF GOOD
(PORTS 4:7) 1:5 UNCONF GOOD

Does it mean hdd 0 and hdd 1 have bad sectors? which is mirrored drives?

thank you guys.

- Identify the failed drives using a simply scanner. MHDD will do nicely.
- Identify the mirrored sets using a sector editor to compare portions of the drive. As above noted, Winhex will do that.
- When you find out which drives are mirrors of which, put the superfluous drives aside. Label the sets with colored tape or something, ex. red, yellow, white. This eliminates the confusion of numbering them if the order they belong in is not the same as the order in which you identify them. You will end up with two reds, two yellows, two whites. Work from one good drive of each color and proceed to determine stripe size and then identify your array's order using known data analysis or stripe-end comparison.

Note that HP RAIDs may use a 1088 sectors header.

Note that HP RAIDs may use a 1088 sectors header.

This is usually 1088 or 1087, but XOR test should determine where partition starts at also. This is probably the fastest method of finding it.
