Promise RAID / ata problem

2007-07-16 Thread Derek Holden

Greetings,

I have a Promise Fasttrak TX4200 running a single mirrored array under 5.5.
Everything's been great for nearly a year until a recent reboot.  It appears
that the two disk mirrored array is coming up as two arrays with a single
disk attached:

Before:

kernel: acd0: CDRW SONY CD-RW CRX140E/1.0n at ata1-slave UDMA33
kernel: ad6: 305245MB Seagate ST3320620AS 3.AAC at ata3-master SATA150
kernel: ad10: 305245MB Seagate ST3320620AS 3.AAC at ata5-master SATA150
kernel: ar0: 305175MB Promise Fasttrak RAID1 status: READY
kernel: ar0: disk0 READY (master) using ad10 at ata5-master
kernel: ar0: disk1 READY (mirror) using ad6 at ata3-master

After:

kernel: acd0: CDRW SONY CD-RW CRX140E/1.0n at ata1-slave UDMA33
kernel: ad6: 305245MB Seagate ST3320620AS 3.AAC at ata3-master SATA150
kernel: ad10: 305245MB Seagate ST3320620AS 3.AAC at ata5-master SATA150
kernel: ar0: disk0 DOWN no device found for this subdisk
kernel: ar0: disk1 READY (mirror) using ad6 at ata3-master
kernel: ar1: 305175MB Promise Fasttrak RAID1 status: DEGRADED
kernel: ar1: disk0 READY (master) using ad10 at ata5-master
kernel: ar1: disk1 DOWN no device found for this subdisk

# atacontrol status ar0
ar0: ATA RAID1 subdisks: DOWN ad6 status: DEGRADED

# atacontrol status ar1
ar1: ATA RAID1 subdisks: ad10 DOWN status: DEGRADED

Nothing's was changed on the machine.  I'm looking for any ideas on the best
way to re-establish the single mirrored array.  Thanks a lot,

The array was created on the Promise card.  If there is a bad disk, any
ideas on why FreeBSD would report two arrays with each disk appearing as
READY on one of either of them?

kernel: ar0: disk1 READY (mirror) using ad6 at ata3-master
kernel: ar1: disk0 READY (master) using ad10 at ata5-master

Thanks for the responses,

You didn't say how you created the array, in the Promise BIOS or in
software under FreeBSD.  If you created the array in the promise BIOS, check
the array in the BIOS first.
