Re: Smart Array 641 unreliable on ML370G4 - what to replace it with?

HI Tony,

 

This could be a number of issues, here are a couple of things to try before spending any cash.

 

1: move the 641 to another alot.

2: Reseat the SCSI cables.

3: If it's got the 128MB cach upgrade module & you arent running any RAID 5 arrays try removing this module and leaving it to run off the onboard 64mb read cache.

4: Run the smart array diagnostics for your o/s and see if the board has captured any historical errors that might point to a likely culprit.

 

If none of these work then replacement 641/642 controllers are available on eBay these days for pennies as ar the beefier 6402's.  The other less desirable option is that the nmotherboard is faulty & these still command a fair price.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Cheers

 

Mark
