Compute node fails to recognize one drive
Use this information to resolve hard disk drive problems.
- Verify that the drive is supported for this compute node. See the IBM ServerProven website for a list of supported hard drives.
- Make sure that the drive is seated in the drive bay properly and that there is no physical damage to the drive connectors.
- Run the DSA SAS Fixed Disk or SAS Attached Disk diagnostic tests (see IBM Dynamic System Analysis).
- If the drive fails the diagnostic test, replace the drive.
- If the drive passes the diagnostic tests but is still not recognized, complete the following steps:
- Replace the drive.
- Replace the hard drive backplane (see Removing the hard disk drive backplaneand Installing the hard disk drive backplane).
- Replace the system-board assembly (see Removing the system-board assembly and Installing the system-board assembly).
