Replacing the Disk Drives
ARX-2000 Hardware Installation Guide A - 7
6. Insert the replacement drive into the slot and slide the drive in until
the left side of the drive carrier is behind the faceplate.
7. To fully seat the drive, grasp the thumb screw and push the carrier
door closed.
8. Tighten the thumb screw to secure the drive in place.
9. Install the front bezel. If necessary, see the instructions Removing
and Re-Installing the Front Bezel, on page A-4 .
Silencing the RAID Alarm
After you remove a drive, an audible alarm goes off to signal that the drive
is missing. From the CLI (priv-exec mode), enter the
raid silence command
to silence this alarm.
For example, the following command sequence logs into a switch at address
10.1.23.11, enters
enable to go to priv-exec mode, and silences the RAID
alarm:
$ telnet 10.1.23.11
Trying 10.1.23.11...
Connected to 10.1.23.11.

Rebuilding the RAID Set
Simply replacing a failed disk does note incorporate the newly-installed disk
into the RAID set nor does it initiate the process of rebuilding the RAID set.
Note
Rebuilding the RAID set places a load on the disk subsystem. To achieve
maximum performance on the active switch during the rebuilding process
and to avoid service interruptions, rebuild the RAID set on the secondary
(backup) switch.
To enable the newly-installed disk to join the RAID set, issue the
raid rebuild command from the CLI priv-exec mode:
prtlndA# raid rebuild {disk1 | disk2}
where disk1 | disk2 specifies the disk to rebuild. (The disk in bay 1 is disk1.)
For example, the following command rebuilds the disk in bay 2:
prtlndA# raid rebuild disk2
prtlndA# ...
