I have owned a Dell PowerEdge R720 for some time and have been using it as my personal NAS. Here is the RAID configuration (disks in the indicated order) :

  • 2 x 146 GB disks in 15K in RAID 1
  • 12 x 1 TB disks in 10K in RAID 5
  • 2 free slots

I have an ESXi installed on it, everything was working perfectly, but here it is, cracked, one day, the RAID seems corrupted...

Going to the iDrac logs, here is what I found: Picture of the iDrac errors

Considering the delays in disconnecting / reconnecting the disks, I strongly doubt that someone from home had fun disconnecting / reconnecting them....

Here is what I see in the VMware VSphere Web Client Interface of my ESXi :

What do you think of that? What could this have to do with? What can I do to prevent this from happening again?

Thank you in advance

  • `Considering the delays in disconnecting / reconnecting the disks, I strongly doubt that someone from home had fun disconnecting / reconnecting them` - It takes all of 2 seconds to release the drives and reinsert them... so it could be that someone did just that. Have you tried reinserting the drives? – joeqwerty Jun 19 '19 at 22:07
  • Hi, thanks for you answer. Yes I did it but now my RAID seems corruped (no boot...) and before shutting it down, the VM were corrupted... :( – tigerblue77 Jun 20 '19 at 08:12
  • I've added more screenshots to my original post. I think I'll rebuild it in the hope that it will not happen again. Thanks for your help ! – tigerblue77 Jun 21 '19 at 20:47
