See Don Ely's response. He's the one that had a problem and solved via an update of the firmware.

What model Dell server?  The 2450?  The problem I am aware of with the Dell raid controllers on this specific server concerns the firmware, not the drivers.  Dell says you must upgrade the firmware before loading W2k, not just Exchange.

Are you sure you have the latest drivers for the raid controller?  I remember somebody having a problem with Dells and exchange.  Might want to check the Dell site and look specifically for Exchange.

So you have exmerged out and recreated on the same hardware?  As someone else said 1018's are likely to be caused by hardware problems.  Check out the caching on your controller, and does your controller write anything to it's own internal event logs??  Don't some HP NetRAID cards do that?  Maybe other vendors do similar?

 

Thanks

Rob

True, but the problem is I don't have another server to put up in that site.
So Ill have to track down the hardware issue
I did an isinteg -pri -test alltests
It came back with all Zero's .. Like it should.

Trouble is of course that you can spend ages trying to find it. I believe (through my experience with 1018 errors), even if you find the hardware problem the structure may still be corrupted so you will still have to move data off of the disk. My view is that you might as well do this from the start. Easiest way to do that is to add a mailbox server to the site and move mailboxes. Remember you don't have a good backup so you can't do it that way.

These errors are typically hardware problems, so unless you find the hardware problem....

Didn't he do all that by exmerging out, deleting and reimporting?

1018 errors are internal problems with the page structure of the JET database. It prevents the database being backed up simply because your backup program figures there's no point in backing up a bad database. There's not usually a fix for this. On occasions, I've had to create a new mailbox server in the site and move all mailboxes off. It's usually (although not always) down to a problem with your disk. You don't have any caches set on your disk controllers do you?
