Question #: 135
Topic #: 1

A systems administrator is investigating a server with a RAID array that will not boot into the OS. The administrator notices all the hard drives are reporting to be offline. The administrator checks the RAID controller and verifies the configuration is correct. The administrator then replaces one of the drives with a known-good drive, but it appears to be unavailable as well. Next, the administrator takes a drive out of the server and places it in a spare server, and the drive is available and functional. Which of the following is MOST likely causing the issue?

A. The kernel is corrupt.
B. Resources are misallocated.

There may be many causes of storage problems on a server or its related components. Boot errors might cause by: Misconfigured RAID array Drive failure Controller or HBA failure Loose connections or cable failures Corrupt boot sector Corrupt file system table Backplane failure The server's backplane provides a communications bus among devices that you may install. The backplane is an additional circuit board attached to the motherboard, and not all servers have one. Damage to the backplane—either physical or electrical—may keep devices on this bus from communicating correctly. The Official CompTIA Server+ Study Guide (Exam SK0-005) page 122.
