HP Proliant DL360p Gen8 RAID 0 not booting

[X_Jonathan_X]

Back in 2021, I bought a refurbished HP Proliant DL360p Gen8 from Amazon. I don't know not much about servers or about the RAID Array until recently when I was doing some maintenance to fix the airflow for the fans I accidentally unplugged one of the hare drives in the process. Now I am getting am error when trying to boot "Non-System disk or disk error" and while doing further diagnostic, it says my logical drive failed. It also says it uses a RAID 0.

On start I get two options.

If I press F1, it will start with the logical drives disabled. However there is also F2 where it says if I press it then it will enable it but I will lose the data.

I read from another post where pressing F2 just deletes the cache data. Which hints that it doesn't delete the actual data. Is this true as I don't want to risk deleting the data as that data is highly valuable to me.

Thanks,

Jonathan

Hi, Jonathan:

HP split into two companies back in 2014.

HP supports PC's, printers, tablets and calculators.

HP Enterprise (HPE) supports servers, switches, routers, and enterprise storage devices.

I recommend that you post your question on the HPE community support forum --Proliant servers section:

ProLiant Servers – ML, DL, SL Forum | HPE Blogs, Discussions and Forums Community

Okay, thanks. A bit confusing though. I'll ask on there.

You're very welcome.
