Hi. I need some help. A disk failed and it was replaced with a new one. But I see this in the ILO page:
All physical drives show status OK.
This is an HP DL360p Gen9 with a Smart Array P440ar Controller.
Do you know what should I do? Apart from taking backups.
At the risk of stating the obvious, read the RAID controller’s manual.
I don’t think most people can help with something hardware specific unless they also just happen to have the same card.
I personally dislike hardware RAID controllers and let mdraid, ZFS, or Btrfs take care of volume management and redundancy.

softraid and fs does bring cpu overhead which I would vote to avoid whenever can.
mdraid’s requirements are very minimal, certainly negligible for modern CPUs made in the last 8-10 years so as to make hw/raid obsolete.

Sadly it’s the drive bay that’s failing.
