We have a HP ProLiant DL380p Gen8 which boots vmware and loads 3 windows virtual servers. We started getting cyclic redundancy erros during backup and then one of the raid drives started showing red on it's push button release. I ordered a new drive and hot swapped it this morning. The new drive appears to be acting the same as the old drive. I tried to download a gui to see the raid status but everything I have tried says it will not run in virtual machine. I am afraid to power the machine down as I have read here that doing so could lose the array. Is there a way to tell if it is rebuilding?
thanks mlc
