Raid 10 Windows 2003 Server
I have a Windows 2003 Server with a Raid 10 configuration (136GB Ultra SCSI drives x 4 on a PERC controller). I have never had to deal witha failure of a drive of RAID10. If a disk fails, how do I replace the disk? Currently all the data and the Windows Directory and the Systems Volume is backed up. What other precautions do I need to take?
If you are talking about a software raid (raid created through disk management in Server 2003), than you'll have to do some steps
1. Break the mirror by Removing the mirror from the failed drive (this drive will be shown as "missing"). THis can be done in the Disk Management window and right-clicking the drive.
2. Remove the drive from disk management (again, right clicking and remove drive)
3. Shut down, replace the drive and reboot
4. Recreate the mirror.

The RAID was created in hardware using Dell's PERC controller.

When I go intothe Perc
The Disk0 & Disk 1 are on one volume and Disk 2 & 3 are on another volume. What does this mean and is it still the matter of replacing the failed disk with a new one?

just to make sure: are you using a software-raid (created in Windows 2003) or are you using a hardware raid (created by a raid-controller).
