I have an used purchased DCP-2000 server. After a problem with the raid, I reinitialized the raid. The three disks, appears as "working online", and with their icons in green, but the two raid partitions althoug appears with "healthy" in their status, the icons are in amber.

 -

What is the reason of this?

And I have another problem. I can't ingest by USB. The USB drives, doesn't appears in the Ingest Manager, but I can ingest from a NAS in the network. This other problem is caused by the extrange status of the raid?

Thanks to all.

The front USB port can be damaged over time. Did you try a rear USB port - less used, they're generally OK.
What software/firmware versions are you using?
You can take a diagnostic package and run it through the log analyzer at http://loganalyzer.dolbycustomer.com/ the report tells you quite a bit more than you see in diagnostic tools.

For how long after the RAID reinit command have the RAID partitions be shown in amber like this? Did you try a reboot? Could be just a stupid delayed GUI update issue.

Hi Dave. I'm using firmware 2.92 and software 2.6.4-0

 -

I'm tryed with all USB ports, and an USB keyboard or mouse works fine. When I make a shutdown, in the text screen previous to the shutdown, if I put an USB pendrive, I can see the USB device detection, and if I disconnect it, I can see the device disconnection message.

The Dolby Log Analyzer, says that 2 of the three disks are in Warning

But I don't know why. The numbers of all disks are more or less the same.

Off-topic. I never heard of firmware 2.92 on a DCP2000 unit...
Also the SM info is not present on the 'About" window posted.

Hi Carsten.
I rebooted the server a lot of times. The server is not installed yet, I'm checking it before install.

And hi Adrian.
I think this server is an old model. The motherboard is an Intel, not a Supermicro, and what is the SM Info?

Hi,
Oooh...so you have an older model, and a RevB Dolphin, with 4 BNC connectors.
SM stands for Security Manager, wich in the newer version is displayed as well.
Check if your SATA cables are well plugged on both ends/reinsert the drives (with the server disconnected from power)..

Hi Adrian.

The raid was reinitialized, with new SATA cables and new power cables, connected directly to the hard drives (with the hard drives out of the drive cage), and the result was the same.

I haven't ever seen a Dolphin B card. I assume they still work OK? I thought Doremi replaced them all with Dolphin DCI 1.0 cards. Pretty sure there were also "required" upgrades for the older servers, one for the fans (fan vibration was killing the drives) and one for the boot flash drive.
Definitely replace the motherboard battery!
I've seen this - drives show "warning" with no apparent issues - before, Doremi said the drives look OK and to ignore it... you should send the package to Doremi for them to have a look.

Thanks to all the replies.

Finally, the server has a lot of problems (don't make the secure link to the projector) and now, don't boot.

We want to return it to the seller.

Yes, I saw that too and I was told 'ignore it'. 2.6.4 is plenty of small bugs but Doremi/Dolby haven't developed for a while.

Finally, the USB problems was solved by Doremi technicians. It was a software problem.
