Warning: If the new plugged-in hard disk contains valid host drive or array drive information,
they will be deleted when creating a new logical drive. All data will be lost.
11.4.3 Direct Access Devices
Direct access devices can be initialized and subsequently used for logical drives. The ICP
RAID caches the I/Os of these devices. Logical drives are the components of array drives.
These devices are represented in the Physical Configuration window in
Figure 11-129 and
in Table 11-16 .
Note:
If you want to change the media of a removable disk during operation, the media MUST
NOT BE INITIALIZED with ICPCON or the ICP RAID Navigator. Also, these devices
have to be reserved for the raw service. Thus, the removable disk is handled like a non-
direct access device.
Double click on the processor icons (shown in Table 11-16
) to
get the Physical Drive
window (see Figure 11-133 ) . Right click on the icon to open the submenu with the
following options (see Figure 11-133
)
: SCSI Parameter/Initialize, Format Disk, Check
Surface, Deinitialize Disk, Progress Information, Lock Disk, Unlock Disk, Hot Plug:
Remove Disk, SES: Enclosure Status,
and SES: Enclosure Configuration (you can also get
to this submenu by selecting the controller icon and choosing the Configuration menu ->
Disk submenu at the top of the Physical Configuration window).
Depending on the disk configuration, the submenu options may or may not be disabled.
The selections are described below.
