Recently one of my servers has crashed and on reboot I was greeted with the error message below:
2. You are now in the home screen of the LSI MegaRAID BIOS Config Utility. It should look similar to this screenshot (if
not, press ALT-D, then RETURN). Note that all my disks are in the state "Unconfigured Bad" for some reason.
3. Press ALT-H, then select the first Unconfigured Bad disk drive by pressing the ARROW-DOWN key, then RETURN.
4. You now see some information for the selected physical disk drive. Force the drive in the "Unconfigured Good" state
by pressing ALT-U, SPACE, ALT-G, then RETURN.
5. The next page is for setting some more disk drive attributes, which we don't need. Go back to the home screen by
pressing ALT-B, then RETURN.
6. Repeat this until all of your "Unconfigured Bad" drives are in the "Unconfigured Good" state. After that, let the LSI
MegaRAID controller re-scan all physical disk drives to read the configuration, which is conveniently stored
somewhere on each physical disk drive. Press ALT-S, then RETURN.
7. Hopefully, the Scan Devices command has recovered the RAID configuration. In my particular setup I have four
physical 500 GByte disk drives that are configured as one single RAID-10 virtual disk drive with 1 TByte capacity. I
am not sure how this dialog looks like if there are more than one virtual disk drives configured, if that is the case you
need to continue on your own from here on. In case anything goes wrong it is however possible to run the "Scan
Devices" command again and try something different.
System is back!
After the reboot the RAID controller was in its previous state and the server could be started successfully.
