3ware 9000 Series Serial ATA RAID Controller User Guide
Note:
In 8000-series controllers, only JBOD units can be removed
and rescanned while keeping the data intact. Clicking Rescan
Controller after removing units other than a JBOD unit (e.g. RAID
5) will cause the drives that make up the unit to be seen as
individual available drives; they will not be pieced together to form
a unit. This is unlike the 9000 series controllers, which will piece
together the unit for you and display the drives as a unit. If you still
want to use the drives together as a unit, restart the computer
before creating a new unit with those drives. Creating a new unit
with those drives will destroy any existing data on them. After you
restart, the 8000 will again see the drives as a valid unit.
Unit Maintenance
The Unit Maintenance section of the page lists all existing units on the current
controller, and displays summary information about them.
The top row shows information about the unit, while subsequent rows show
summary information about each drive in the unit.
Unit Information
Unit Number.
The unit number assigned to the unit by the firmware. Unit
numbers for 9000 series are in sequential order. Unit numbers for the 7/8000
series will begin with the lowest port number of the unit. Use the checkbox
next to the unit to select a unit before clicking one of the task buttons.
