I have a HP DL380 server, running Debian. The server was set up by another party, and no documentation was handed over, so I'm a little stuck.
There are two physical hard disks in the machine, in bays 0 & 1. The disk in bay 1 is showing the red "failure" LED, but the server is still running (although it takes a while to show the "Password:" prompt after entering a username. I have new a replacement disk ready, but don't know the best way to go forward, as I've never used RAID in Linux before.
The output of "/etc/fstab" and "fdisk" are as follows...
Code:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/cciss/c0d0p1 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1

/dev/hda /media/cdrom1 iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0
Code:
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 8854.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)

Can anyone give me some pointers on finding out the setup of this server? If it is a hardware RAID, then I am assuming I can just pull the failed disk, and replace it with the new one. However, I don't have a clue at the moment, so can't risk doing anything.
Thanks in advance!
