Shut the system down, pull the disks out, put all three into an R720 with an H710 or something completely different, boot it up, hit 'Import Foreign' on boot, and it boots right into Windows.

Many times when they say 'Foreign Configuration Found' or 'Array Lost, Import array' something to that effect you can simply hit import and it magically pulls all the data off the drives and shows you all your data.įor instance (I have done this many times) you can take 3 disks, build a RAID 5 on an R710 with like a H300 controller, install Windows on it, boot it up. I was going to say.I don't have experience with the HP's in that manner, but they're likely LSI-Logic like the PERC controller's in a Dell. Now, I am simply wondering what caused the issue in the first place. I am assuming that this was because there were no failed physical drives being reported. Two seconds later, all the data was there and totally fine. The data was not considered very important, so I chose to reenable the logical drive. * I have run an ADUReport, but did not paste the results due to size, but I can try if anyone would find it useful.

* HP Array Configuration Utility is not showing any of the physical disks as failed. The MSA70 has 15 drives in it and they are all dedicated to the failed logical drive. * The failed logical drive is running on an external HP MSA70 drive array connected to the server via a SAS cable. It is running on a separate RAID controller and array. Will choosing to rebuild recover my data? I am getting mixed answers when Googling.

All data on this logical drive has been lost.' However, I have the option to rebuild the logical drive in HP Array Configuration Utlity. 'This logical drive has failed and cannot be used.
