Hello,
P7 machine
PCI Express x8 Planar 3Gb SAS Adapter
RAID10 array(2 disks)(not AIX lvm) was configured and working, then one disk failed and IBM support replaced that. Now raid array is degraded, data is not lost. I see new disk model(same as original) serial and etc.
What I did trying to reconstruct:
Booted diagnostics, launched RAID Array Manager, lets list array status:
->List SAS Disk Array Configuration
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name Resource State Description Size
------------------------------------------------------------------------
sissas0 FFFFFFFF Available PCI Express x8 Planar 3Gb SAS Adapter
hdisk0 00FF0000 Degraded RAID 10 Array 283.8GB Rebuild Failed 04
pdisk1 00030000 Active Array Member 283.8GB
pdisk0 00020000 Failed Array Member 300.0GB
so array is degraded, pdisk0 is new replaced disk(same model as original) - it's size looks bigger but disks not formatted as raid block size look bigger?, I tried to format it using "Create an Array Candidate pdisk and Format to RAID block size" but no items available for operation since pdisk0 is already pdisk not hdisk.
So lets try to reconstruct:
->Reconstruct a SAS Disk Array->select "pdisk0 00020000 Failed Array Member 300.0GB"
Post processing pdisk0........Rebuild 0% |

Any ideas how to recontruct / what is wrong ?
