CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 283

After a technician upgrades the firmware on a database server that is connected to two external storage arrays, the server prompts the technician to configure RAID. The technician knows the server had several configured RAID sets and thinks the firmware upgrade cleared the RAID configurations. Which of the following should the technician do to troubleshoot this issue?

Answer options

• A. Power cycle the storage arrays and rescan RAID on the server.
• B. Boot the OS into recovery mode and rescan the disks.
• C. Restore the default RAID configuration and reboot.
• D. Perform a rescan on the server's RAID controller.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct action is to perform a rescan on the server's RAID controller, as this will help detect any existing RAID configurations that may not be visible post-firmware upgrade. Other options, like power cycling or booting into recovery mode, may not address the issue directly and could lead to further complications without resolving the RAID detection problem.
