I had a HDD failure on my raid array.
Implemented via a LSI 3ware 9650se controller.
I have 4 drives.
Drive #2 failed. ("p1")
So I replaced it with a new one but before I could integrate it into the array Drive #4 ("p3") keeps getting assigned to a different imaginary array that my controller keeps making up.
I've tried to remove Drive 4 from this imaginary array and the command works.
The imaginary array disappears.
But so does Drive 4.
So I rescan the controller hoping it can recognize Drive 4 again and it does but it automatically creates a second array and assigns it.
I'm stuck in a Catch-22. Has anyone else run into something similar before? Any advice? I've tried messing around with it through the gui and cmd prompt.
