Yes i have got IBM ServerRAID manager...but it does not give any option to repair. It does give the option to add to delete logical drive.
Deleting and adding the logical drive can cause data loss??

Hi Dlethe,
It does not show which hard drive is failed as per the lights are green and ServerRAID manager shows each of them online.
May be need to run HDD test through the BIOS in after hours?
Any alternatives please?
