Adding or Removing Shared Storage Drives
There are two situations in which you might add or remove drives from the
shared storage:
NOTE:
These procedures for adding or removing shared storage drives assume that you
are making modifications to a previously configured HA/F100 or HA/F200.
■
When one of the drives fails. In this case, you are simply exchanging the
failed drive for a new one.
■
When you want to add capacity to your RA4000/4100.
In both situations, it is assumed you are employing RAID 1, 0+1, 4, or 5 for all
of the devices in the storage unit.
CAUTION:
To add or remove drives from the RA4000/4100, you must follow
certain rules that are interpreted by reading the LEDs on the RA4000/4100.
Read the documentation that came with your storage system to understand
these rules. Failure to follow these rules may result in loss of data.
Replacing a Failed Drive
The procedure for replacing a failed drive is completed within the
RA4000/4100 storage system. Neither MSCS nor the Microsoft Windows
operating system is aware of the change, and operation of both continues
without interruption.
IMPORTANT:
If the failed drive was not configured to use RAID 1, 0+1, 4, or 5 (that is,
your drives have no fault tolerance), you may lose some or all of the data on the failed
drive.
Refer to the documentation that came with your storage system for instructions
on replacing a failed drive.
Adding Drives to Increase Storage Capacity
The following steps describe how to add a drive to the Compaq RA4000/4100
storage system and to allocate it to MSCS.
NOTE:
These procedures for adding drives to increase storage capacity assume that you
are making modifications to a previously configured HA/F100 or HA/F200.
