15. On your system, note which drive(s) are failed. If two drives have failed, you must determine
whether the two failed drives are on the same span (Span: 0, or Span:1), or on different
spans.
t If you have determined that there is only one failed media drive, you must get the media
drive(s) online in the LSI MegaRAID Storage Manager. Go to Step 16.
t If you have determined that there are two or more failed media drives, and they are on
different spans (e.g., one failed drive on Span: 0, and one failed drive on Span: 1), you
must get the media drives online in the LSI MegaRAID Storage Manager. Go to Step 16.
t If you have determined that there are two or more failed media drives, and they are on
the same span (two failed drives on Span: 0, or Span: 1), you will lose your media, and
need to re-RAID all of your media drives from scratch. For more information on how to
do re-RAID your media drives, see “Re-RAIDing Media Drives from Scratch
(4-Channel Model Servers)” on page 84.
