10.6 Software RAID Utility

10.6.1 Overview of the software RAID utility

The software RAID utility is used to check the RAID1 status while the OS is not running, and to rebuild RAID1.

The software RAID utility is included as one of the recovery DVD features.

The software RAID utility provides the following features.

(1) RAID1 status display

This feature displays the current RAID1 status. The RAID1 status is shown in the menu window in the software

RAID utility startup process.

(2) RAID1 rebuilding feature

This feature rebuilds RAID1. Rebuilding with the OS inactive can be completed earlier than rebuilding with the

OS running. Use this feature when you do not want to run the OS or to reduce the maintenance time.

(3) Consistency check feature

This feature checks the consistency of the data in all areas of the HDDs in drive bay 1 and drive bay 2. Use this

feature for periodic inspection to enhance the availability of the equipment.

(4) Array creation feature

This feature edits the RAID1 management information of the HDDs, and creates an array by using two HDDs.

Use this feature to restore backup data by using commercially available backup software.

(5) Drive initialization feature

This feature initializes the configuration information of the HDD that was used in RAID1, effectively creating a

new HDD. Use this feature when reusing an HDD that has been used as a backup HDD, when a normal HDD is

set to offline by mistake, and for other purposes.
