6.2.5 Changing an Array Name
You can change the name of an array. This does not affect the target ID
or LUN values of the array. The EF2800 does not allow you to change an
array name when a utility is running.
To change an array name:
1. From SAM, select
Manage EF2800
>
Disk Array Config
>
Change
Array Name
.
The Change Array Name page displays with a list of existing
arrays.
2. Select the array you want.
3. Enter a new name.
You can use up to 20 characters. You can use any character on
your keyboard (any printable ASCII character), except double
quotes (").
4.
Click
Change Array Name
.
6.2.6 Trusting an Array
You can use the Trust Array function to bring an array back online by
re-synchronizing the time and date stamp and any other metadata on a
bad disk. This makes the disk an active member of the array again. You
might need to do this when:
• One or more disks of an array start up more slowly or were
powered on after the rest of the disks in the array. This causes the
date and time stamps to differ, which the EF2800 interprets as a
problem with the “late” disks. In this case, the array will function
normally after using Trust Array.
• An array is offline because a drive is failing, you have no data
backup, and you want to try to recover the data from the array. In
this case, the Trust Array function may work, but only as long as
the failing drive continues to operate.
Before you can use this function, you must enable it as described
below.
