RAID 5 HP PROLIANT

[ccamargol]

Hi Friends,

I have 3 SCSI HDD 36.4 GB in RAID 5. The Raid Controller failed, compaq.

OS: Windows 2000 server

How finding the order and the parity? I have understood that the HP/Compaq uses delay…

First off are all your HDD good. If so you might want to try a simple approach and get another Raid controller card and see what happens on this one. If that does not fix it then you will have to rebuild the RAID on this one.

Make a backup clone of each drive first, of course. HP/Compaq RAIDs are almost always tough, thus why they can be more expensive than other RAID configurations. Good luck with it.

To 'solve' the raid5 try to use winhex (has default hp settings) or r-studio (you can manually set up the shape of raid5).

Hi,

I made the images of hard disks and I am using WinHex. I have not been able to find the order correct but I have these information:

MBR finded in Disc0, 1 & 2

Bytes x cluster: 512
Sector x Cluster: 1

NTFS Boot Sector :
Disc0: 1383936
Disc1: 1088
Disc2: 1386038

First MFT:
Disc0: 251649 Sector

I need find other raid parameters

Hi Friends,

Im very very happy..

Finally I could find the order and parity of RAID 5. I used the WinHex that allowed to find parameters me for HP/Compaq. PM for information
