A customer has an HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 server with one processor that has a large RAID 5 SAS Array configured on a P440ar storage controller with a hot spare. During the rebuild process, a second SAS drive failed.
What should the integrator do to help prevent this problem from reoccurring?
Configure a higher Rebuild Priority.
Install a second hot spare disk drive.
Install more memory in the server.
Use the integrated B140i controller.
Correct answer: D
Explanation:
The HP Dynamic Smart Array B140i controller comes with pre-Failure Warranty, which means HP Insight Manager not only reports when a drive is going to fail but allows replacement of failing drives prior to actual failure.
