What happens if a drive
fails?
If a disk drive is assigned as a hot spare, the
system automatically switches to the hot spare
and rebuilds the data on the failed drive. During
this process, the hot spare becomes a member
of the RAID set, and the system continues to
serve files without interruption. System warnings
alert you that a drive failure has occurred. When
the failed drive is replaced, you must manually
assign the new drive to be the new hot spare.
The drive replacement kit provides detailed
instructions.
What happens if a drive
fails and there is no hot
spare?
HP recommends that at least one drive be
assigned as a global hot spare at all times. If a
drive fails and no hot spare is present, system
warnings alert you that a drive failure occurred
and that the logical drive (RAID set) is in a critical
state. Although the system continues to rebuild
and serve files without interruption, there is a
much greater risk of data loss in this state. The
drive replacement kit provides detailed
instructions for installing replacement drives,
rebuilding the critical RAID set, and assigning a
hot spare.
How do I turn off the
alarm?
Push the alarm reset button
on the front
panel.
Can I connect a
monitor, keyboard, and
mouse to the HP
NetStorage 6000?
HP does not recommend that you make these
connections.
How do I communicate
with the system without
a network connection?
The HP NetStorage 6000 has a serial TTY
connection that can be used to access the
system without a network connection. To use it,
connect the TTY port to another computer using
the supplied serial cable. A terminal emulation
program can then be used to interact with the
system’s menu-driven console interface (this is
the same as the Telnet interface).
Why can’t I access
Tape Status, Tape
Backup, Tape Restore,
and Tape Settings in
the Backup/Restore
tab?
These screens are accessible only after you
attach either an 818 or 1/9 HP SureStore DLT
Autoloader to your HP NetStorage 6000.
