Procedures to Replace Failed Disks
Models that do not support the RDR function
When a failure occurs on a disk mirrored by volume using [Disk Management], follow the steps
below to replace the disk.
IMPORTANT:
„ To remove a disk due to a failure, etc., compare [Disk Management] and [RDR Utility] to
determine the disk to remove. (For RDR Utility, see “About RDR Utility” on page 3-16.)
„
To reconfigure a mirror, be sure to confirm the TargetID in the disk’s [Properties] and use the
disks with the same number. Do not mirror disks using the disk number shown in [Disk
Management].
„ When the disk to be inserted into a slot for duplexed configuration of disk has been used as a
disk which contains the boot volume (disk storing the OS), the disk cannot be used for
duplexed configuration. Initialize the disk to use the disk.
This section describes an example of determining failures of the disk in the Slot 2 of the PCI
module for Group1 and the disk in the Slot 3 of the PCI module for Group2 using “How to Locate
Failed Disks”.
