Good Day,
I am new to VMware & have gotten my first sys admin job, I am alone, no other IT people here, so I need help.
I have a Proliant DL580 G5 acting as one of our ESXi hosts.
I see that there are some alerts, I have attached a pic, now my main concern first is the controller...Disk 4 says error, so do I replace disk 4? Or is it the controller that is bad & I only need to replace that? Or do I replace both?
I also have a battery alert but am not sure what to do about that, I also suppose that if I need to replace the battery & controller, then I have to power down the host...
If it is only the hard drive, can I just swap out the bad drive, and put in the new one? Or do I have to break the raid first, my understanding is that I should be able to just swap the drive and it will do the rest since it is RAID 5
Please help
Thank You.
