dmboot Event ID: 2
At the start of my server I am getting two warning entries in the Event Log. I can't seem to find any info for what they mean and how to correct them. Thanks in advance:
dmbbot Event ID: 2
dmboot: Volume 1 (C:) started in failed redundancy mode
dmboot Event ID: 2
dmboot: Volume 2 (D:) started in failed redundancy mode
Anyone seen this and know what to do to correct it?

Are you running a raid? Check out this link it could be a delay in spinup of the disks http://www.jsiinc.com/SUBP/tip7700/rh7706.htm

Yeah... sort of. I have two hard drives. The second is just for mirroring, but they are on a SCSI raid controller.
I saw this article too, but my drives aren't failing altogether, just starting in failed redundancy mode. What ever that is....

In disk manager they show up as healthy? No other events in any of the viewers? Have you tried breaking and recreating the mirror?
ASKER
No, they show up as "Failed Redundancy" instead of "Healthy."
No other event are in teh event viewer. This is the only problem anywhere in the event log.
No, I haven't tried breaking and then re-creating the mirror. Would that make a difference because the primary drive is in failed redunandcy mode?

Hmm let me think they are in hardware raid? before you break and recreate can you resynch them?
ASKER
Yeah. Resync them? I don't think i have done that. How do I go about doing that?
You know what..... I just noticed. I think the mirrored hard drive is bad. I think that may be for the reason. In disk management, Disk 0 is there, in dynamic, and good, but Disk 1 is not showing the partitions and it has a "x" through it. When I scroll down I finally can see the partitions for the mirrored volume, but it says "missing" through it. Perhaps it is bad altogether. Sound like a safe assumtion to you?

Well if hardware is taking care of the raid then software will not pick it up as a mirrored disk. You should go into the raid utilities it should tell you if one of the disks has failed. If not there should be an option to rebuild, resynch, or something to that effect.
ASKER
Ok. Then I must be mistaken. When i set it up, I did everything in DM. Disk1 has always shown up as good and with mirrored volumes of Disk0.

Thanks. The system is still under warranty, so I have a new hard drive being shipped to me.
No problem, glad to have been of help
