Disabling a PFR600 disk module for removal
In the event that one of the PFR600 disk modules is operational, but begins to report
faults through various log files and status indicators, you can choose to disable the disk
module and remove it. Disabling the disk module and removing it in this way avoids
momentary interruptions in signal output that can occur if the disk fails. After replacing
the disabled disk module, you must start disk rebuild manually.
To disable a PFR600 disk module for removal:
1. Start GVG Disk Utility.
2. Expand the tree view to display bound disks.
3. Right-click the disk module icon, then select
Advanced | Disable Drive
.
NOTE: Disks modules may not be visible in the tree view if they are part of a newly
bound LUN. You must restart your RAID chassis and the Profile XP Media
Platform to allow the drive modules to be seen in GVG Disk Utility.
4. Click
OK
to continue.
The disk is disabled, and the disk access LED flashes blue.
5. Remove and replace the disk module.
Refer to procedures in the PFR 600 Instruction Manual.
6. Wait approximately 1 minute for the disk to initialize.
The disk access LED is steady blue.
7. In GVG Disk Utility, right-click the LUN icon for the affected LUN, then select
Advanced | Start Rebuild
.
8. 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.
• Open the Progress dialog box, by clicking
