Hi All, Im very excited about joining this forum!
Ive been using FreeNas for a while but not an IT Natural so have to google / youtube every time I have a problem. This has worked for me until now........
Hope someone can assist me here. I have searched previous threads on the forum and have found users experiencing similar problems but not identical. I did post this on another section of the forum (Storage) just now but not sure if that was the right place?
I get the following system alert:
ada0 - online
ada1 - online
ada2 - online
10824739011237558411 - unavailable (This status does not change if the old or new disk is inserted)
When I click on the unavailable drive, it only gives me a replace option. When I select the replace option, it asks for a new member disk but there are no options in the dropdown.
Ive tried booting with only 3 drives and changing the bays to ensure that the drive is the problem and it boots fine. I cannot take any of the 3 active drives offline because I get the error:
MiddlewareError: b'Disk offline failed: "cannot offline gptid/23b76ea6-d025-11e5-a77b-3ca82aa0a80c: no valid replicas, "']
My hardware is:
HP Proliant Microserver Gen8
8 GB Ram
4 x 3 TB HDD
FreeNas 11.0-U2
Im new to FreeNas so a basic explanation on how to solve this would really be appreciated.
If you need any further info, please let me know.
Thanks in advance!
