3. Click
Open.
The Progress Report window appears showing the disk firmware download task
and the percentage completion. (Disk access LED behavior: flashing green during
download; off during disk reboot; flashing green during disk initialization.)
4. Perform step 1 through step 3 to upgrade disk drives for the remaining controllers.
5. When finished, reboot the RAID storage and the Profile XP Media Platform. Refer
to “System reboot procedure” on page 94.
NOTE: If your PFR600 is part of an Open SAN, disregard the previous step, and
refer to the instructions in the Open SAN Instruction Manual for powering-off and
powering-on the Open SAN.
This concludes the Loading Disk Firmware procedure.
Replacing a failed disk module
In the event of a disk drive failure, you’ll repair the system by replacing the disk module
as soon as possible. Refer to the PFR 600 Instruction Manual for information on
removing and replacing disk modules.
NOTE: Always use GVG Disk Utility to physically identify the failed disk module.
Accidently removing the wrong disk module can destroy all media on the disk
drives. See “Identifying disk modules prior to removal” on page 3-98.
On inserting the replacement disk module, the RAID controller automatically starts
rebuilding the drive. You can verify rebuild status by looking at the disk access LED on
the front of the disk module, or by checking disk status in GVG Disk Utility.
To check disk status in GVG Disk Utility, select the disk module icon in the device tree.
Status is reported in the right-hand pane. On completion, the disk drive status changes
from Rebuilding to Online. You may need to refresh the GVG Disk Utility display.
Starting disk rebuild manually
You may need to start disk rebuild manually in the following cases:
• If a disk rebuild is interrupted for any reason, such as, a controller failover or
power interruption, you must start rebuild again manually. Failed rebuilds do not
resume automatically.
• If you manually disable a disk before removing it (see “Disabling a PFR600 disk
module for removal” on page 112), you must manually start rebuild after the
disk module is replaced.
To start disk rebuild manually:
1. In GVG Disk Utility, right-click the LUN icon for the affected LUN, then select
Advanced | Start Rebuild
.
2. To check rebuild status, do one of the following:
• Select the replacement disk icon in GVG Disk Utility, then view the disk status
in the right-hand pane. You may need to refresh the GVG Disk Utility display.
On completion, the drive status changes from Rebuilding to Online.
