ICP RAID Console
copying is finished, you can remove the critical logical drive and then carry out a hot plug
procedure. You can also use this function to mirror RAID 4/5 array drives (RAID 5+1,
RAID 4+1).
Replace Array Component
Note:
The Replace Array Component option is not available for RAID 1 and RAID 10 volumes
if you are manually hot swapping drives. Instead, use the Repair Array Drives option on
the main menu in the ICP RAID Console, or use the Add RAID1 Component option under
the Configure Logical Drives menu.
To access this function, from the Advanced Setup menu:
•
Select the Configure Array Drives option and press Enter to display the Select Array
Drive screen.
•
Select an array drive and press Enter to display the Array Drive window.
•
Select the Replace Array Component option and press Enter.
If a logical drive of an array drive without a hot fix drive should fail (or is likely to fail),
you should replace the defective hard disk with a new one as soon as possible because the
array drive is without redundancy. The replacement logical drive has to have at least the
same capacity as the failed one. After you replace the hard disk, ICPCON offers a list of
existing physical drives which can be used as replacement units. The array drive's state
changes into
rebuild and the missing data is automatically reconstructed on the new drive.
Remove RAID 1 Component
This option corresponds to the Add RAID-1 Component option. It allows you to remove a
previously configured RAID-1 combination.
To access this function, from the Advanced Setup menu:
•
Select the Configure Array Drives option and press Enter to display the Select Array
Drive screen.
•
Select an array drive and press Enter to display the Array Drive window.
•
Select the Remove RAID 1 Component option and press Enter.
After you choose the Remove RAID 1 Component option, ICPCON displays a warning
message to confirm the removal (see Figure 10-86 ). Press <Y> to proceed with the
removal of the selected RAID 1 Component, or press <N> to cancel the operation.

Drive screen.
