When checking your RAID disk status, you may receive a message requesting administrator intervention due to Faulted Beyond Recovery error. This means that you have two or more failed disks in your array. Therefore, the Equallogic RAID storage can’t function well and even stop working entirely.
The Faulted Beyond Recovery error happens when over one disk fails successively. So, even if you have a hot spare disk that can embrace the first failed disk storage and function, the following disks to fail won’t have a spare to balance the array.
And, because of it, you’ll see that you’re about to lose all your data. Luckily, you have enough time to save your company’s data and reputation.
Example of how Faulted Beyond Recovery is shown
The fastest solution is to replace all failed disks on the array. Since you can’t replace a disk, that’s active, you must schedule downtime to replace it all.
Remember to always use disks with the same storage size and similar configuration, if the identical is not possible.
Important: Replacing the disks will cause data loss. Therefore, don’t proceed unless you have a recent backup of your company’s data.
Dell EqualLogic’s “Faulted Beyond Recovery” means you have multiple disks failure. If you don’t have a backup of your data, your only solution is to send the array to a RAID data recovery service.
