Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Dears i have a problem that i was installed on my xserve 10.6.8 then my soft raid configuration become degraded and found that one of hte hard disks became fault .
i replaced the hard disk with another one i bought it from the market not apple one but the xserve didnt recognize any think just 2 modules.
i tried to swap the pays between the HDD's but still recognni just to bays .
any suggestions ?
The Xserve was designed to work with specific Apple-labelled drives. Users have had intermittent luck (or not) using third party drives, especially larger drives. Apple never advertised the ability to swap drives in the sleds.
There are few things you can try, but the easiest may be to look for an official (used) Xserve drive from a used equipment dealer. A quick Google for 'Xserve parts' should get you going.
