    Does the server have a RAID controller or just a SCSI controller? Are you running an array or individual drives?

Replace the hard drive with a drive that is the same type and the same size, or larger. It will rebuild itself.

By same type I mean that the connector on the back of the drive and the speed of the drive interface must be the same. If the new drive spins at a different rate it will not create a problem, except that if it is slower it will make read/writes slower. If it is larger it will only use part of its capacity, matching the capacity of the other drives.

Note that if you were to replace all drives with larger drives (one at a time) the capacity of the entire array would be the same as the original. If you want a larger array it must be built from the start with that larger capacity.

Take out the bad drive. If you can get the exact same drive, do it, otherwise look it up on the manufacturers web site to find out size and type.

While there are a few possible RAID configurations that you could be using on that server, the chances are overwhelming that it is RAID level 5 that you are using. This RAID level is tolerant of a single drive failure. If you lose another drive before your new drive rebuilds your data will be lost. Hopefully you have a backup.

RAID 5 stripes the data and the parity data across all available drives and when a drive fails, the missing data is rebuilt on the fly from the parity data. When a replacement drive is installed the parity data is used to rebuild the data that belongs on that drive. The advantages of RAID 5 are fault tolerance (of a single drive) and speed because each drive only has to provide or write its portion of the total data being accessed or written.

Did you ever used any tool of ultra wide SCSI? I want to know some distinct quality of that? My desktop is not responding meanwhile.
Larry the Computer Guy, posted up there ^^^^ instead of here.
  • Larry Ng Jan 19, 2021NO PC told no maker no model
    no UW SCSI card told, at all. (Adaptec?)_
    SCSI can run HDD, or tape and many things
    what does yours run? IDK.

    we run ultra for years, back when.
    why are you doing old UW SCSI.?
    tell what tool means,. ive no idea at all
    a metal tool , software what?
    tell what the tool does? and we now can communicate.
    only very very old full blown workstations
    had a UW SCsi HDD, non told yet.

    what does not responding mean./
    1: PC dead silent..
    2: all fans dead.
    3: power on LED dead or acts odd now.?
    4; BIOS screens dead./ all ? this is goal #1
    5: hdd boot files not found error on screen.
    6: any beep codes, any LED blink codes.
    id have to ask like 100 question more
    with you not telling make of PC , model of PC and where is this SCSI port, show 1 photo of
    the inside of PC left side and AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

  • Anonymous Jan 19, 2021
    pure raw wild guess.
    the PC is 20 year old
    the HDD died 15 years ago
    and found this rig for $1 at a garage sale
    DOA.
    Ultra-320 SCSI ? from year 2003?

    remove it and put in SSD 2.5" solid state drive (SATA) and boot from that.
    end story, join the modern world?
    SCSI is now dead, tech. as in fully retired.
    we use SAS or fast SSD. now.

  • Larry Ng Jan 19, 2021
    if the HDD is dead say so.
    post symptoms and ask for help,ok?
    that is why this forum exists to diagnose problems.
    test #1 on PC that seems to have power and does with BIOS screens working
    the HDD must be heard to spin. (and all fans)


    ask how. (i own a 5$ stethoscope a TOOL)
    no spin ,no joy, possible.
    it has motor inside, the hdd controller
    sends a command to the hDD to spin up
    turned on, in magical SCSI land
    we can even sequence say 5 HDD drives to spin up 1 at a time to not overload the PSu.


    that is all controlled via the SCSI card
    own Bios screens. prompted at power on in fact.
    the SCSI card has its own menus inside its own ROM.firmware. we go there and check the drive out. (might show HDD dead in fact)


    NO PC told no scsi card told.

    here is mine spinning up now.https://pcdied.com/HDD-SDD/spoolupjet.mp...

    if HDD click like mad , the HDD is bad.
    like this.
    https://pcdied.com/HDD-SDD/WD-bad-heads-...*****.mp3

    post of photo or left side inside this PC.
    lid off PC pulled off. (then add a photo)
    then we can talk turkey. (to brass tacks)

    have scsi now
    or dreaming of 2003 old dead parts to buy cheap. tell the story fully dude. we can not guess what is up there.
    did i nail this?

  • Anonymous Jan 19, 2021
    post a problem, and ask for help
    please.
    what PC
    what OS
    and what fails. tell all that.
    even tell what works good too?

  • Anonymous Jan 19, 2021
    the reason nobody talks SCSI now is that it is now retired. (eol)
    yes some very very old PCs workstations had this, OOBE day1. sure. have one in my attic full of thick dust. old and slow.
    and for sure servers. old.

Physical disk not found
Move into Raid Controller bios (ctrl +c)
Check other hard drives are visible.
If yes, you may insert disk in other free slot and see if it detects on that slot. If same issue then particular hdd may be faulty. You have to replace it
If no, turn off server, reset scsi and power cables.
Turn on server and see if it detects hard drives. If server has same issue then either scsi cable or hdd back plane may be faulty. Chance is more for hdd back plane

Sata HDD NOT DETECTING IN XP SETUP
If you're using a scsi card and connecting the hard drive to the card you need to have the scsi set-up floppy disk. When the blue screen starts during windows installation watch the bottom of the screen. It will tell you to press F6 key then to insert the floppy disk.
If you're using a sata drive connected directly to the motherboard (not in a raid configuration) you shouldn't need anything but the windows disk. The motherboard drivers and utilities disk should have the files to create the scsi install disk.

OS Loaded on SCSI HDD Cashed
If the Bios did not detect the third drive, try switching it to a known working slot and see if you have a bad drive, or something wrong with the cage or cabling. The 3000 were shipped with either a 68 pin drive cage or a 80 pin drive cage. The 68 pin drives and the 80 pin drives are not interchangeable. To make matter worse, the drive cage would be configured as simplex or duplex. For duplex mode, you will need to connect two SCSI cables to the cage.
