Responding to an Invalid RAID Volume
The Network Storage considers a RAID Volume invalid when the RAID Volume was
created by a different Network Storage. However, the RAID Volume itself remains
functional and the data on it is safe.
This condition could happen when you:
Move the disk drives from one Network Storage to a different Network Storage.
Remove the disk drives in order to send your Network Storage for service.
When the Network Storage’s memory does not recognize the RAID Volume, so
ASM displays the RAID Volume as invalid. Use the Recover function to validate the
RAID Volume. The Recover tab is only active when an invalid RAID Volumes
present and can be recovered.
Using the Recover Function
To validate the RAID Volume:
1. In the Tree, click on the
+
beside the RAID & File System icon.
2. Click on the RAID Management icon.
3. Click on the Recover tab.
4. On the Recover tab, click on the option button beside the invalid RAID
Volume.
5. Click on the
OK
button.
The Network Storage will reboot itself to update its configuration and
recognize the RAID Volume.
Important
Running the Recover function might erase some or all of your
Network Storage settings. If that condition happens, run the NAS
Setup Wizard.
