10. SOFTWARE RAID1
10-20
10.5.3 Performing periodical HDD replacement
NOTICE
Do not use an HDD previously used for software RAID1 in place of a new
HDD for replacement. Otherwise, the Equipment may not start up or the data
in the HDDs may be lost because of RAID1 configuration information
mismatch or other reasons.
If you pick up a wrong HDD when selecting the HDD to be replaced, the data
in the HDDs will be lost. Make sure the drive bay number of the HDD to be
replaced is correct, and replace the HDD at your own risk.
Wear cotton gloves when replacing an HDD in order to prevent failure caused
by static electricity. Otherwise, the data in the HDDs may be corrupted.
During the work, make sure you follow the correct procedure. Should any
mistakes be made, the data stored in the HDDs may be lost.
When software RAID1 is used, you cannot replace an HDD while the power is
on. When you replace an HDD, make sure the power is off.
An HDD is a perishable component. Replace an HDD every two years (if used 24 hours a
day).
Prepare a new HDD, and the software RAID1 construction utility “Software RAID1 For
Windows(R)”. Follow the procedure below for periodical replacement work.
Be noted that in order to rebuild RAID1, you cannot replace both HDDs at the same time.
Replace one HDD at a time.
(Note) The following is a procedure for replacing the HDD mounted in the drive bay 1.
When you replace the HDD mounted in the drive bay 2, interpret the drive bay 1 as the
drive bay 2 in the procedure.
1. Back up the data.
2. Shut down the OS, and pull out the plug of the power cable from the outlet. Wait one
minute or more, and then replace the HDD mounted in the drive bay 1 with a new HDD.
(For information about how to replace an HDD, see Subsection 5.4.3,
“Detaching/attaching hard disk drive (HDD)”.)
In addition, if any external storage devices are connected to the Equipment, disconnect
them.
3. Turn on the power for the Equipment. Before the OS starts, insert the software RAID1
construction utility “Software RAID1 For Windows(R)” into the DVD drive.
