CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1201) — Question 87

A network operations analyst receives an automated alert regarding a server with an array. The analyst walks over to the server and sees a blinking orange light at the hard disk bay. The server is configured for RAID 1. Which of the following should the analyst do to resolve this issue?

Answer options

• A. Change the array to RAID 0
• B. Undo the array and create a new one
• C. Update RAID card firmware
• D. Replace the hard disk and rebuild the array

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct action is to replace the hard disk and rebuild the array, as the blinking orange light typically indicates a failure in one of the RAID 1 disks. Changing to RAID 0 would not resolve the issue and would compromise data redundancy, while undoing the array or updating the firmware would not directly address the faulty hard disk.
