Dell CERC SATA 1.5 Degraded Array
I have an older Dell Poweredge 1800 with SBS 2003 that I'm using to run backups.
The server had a constant tone alarm. I rebooted to see what came up, and sure enough is says that Array 0 is degraded.
It is in RAID 5. I have never done this before, but it sounds straight forward. I opened the configuration utility, selected manage array to see which disk has failed, and then I got this message.
Configuration Change has been detected in the system. If you reject the configuration change, you will not be able to modify current configuration. I you accept, it will be updated to the current configuration.
Accept or Reject?
What changed? Will accept delete the current Array settings?
