Follow the instruction below:
Disk status
Description
Action
When a dynamic disk which
had been used for a different
system is mounted, the disk
is indicated as [Foreign].
[To use the data on the disk]
Refer to Chapter 3 “ Windows Setup
and Operation” and import the disk.
[To make the disk usable]
The disk needs to be initialized in order
to use it. By performing initialization
steps, the disk will become available.
<Caution>
Initializing the disk will erase all data on
the disk. Back up important data, if any,
before initialization.
When a dynamic disk is
damaged or removed, the
disk is indicated as
[Missing].
If there are volumes on the missing
disk, release the mirror on the disk.
When the mirror is broken, right-click
the [Missing] disk and perform [Remove
disk].
When a disk is not signed,
the disk is indicated as [Not
Initialized].
Right-click the disk and perform
[Initialize Disk]. The disk will become
usable.
The primary PCI module’s status LED2 and DISK ACCESS LED illuminate amber
after startup:
Is the mirror of the hard disks broken?
→
See [Disk Management]. If the mirror is broken, reconfigure the mirror.
For mirror configuration, see “DISK OPERATIONS” in Chapter 3 “Windows
Setup and Operation”.
Other than disk failures, the following operations may break the mirror at startup.
z
The PCI module shut down in simplex mode (not-duplicated) and restarted.
z
NEC Express5800/ft series was started while the BMC status LED was
illuminating amber.
BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) is duplicated immediately after the AC
power becomes on or a PCI module is loaded. If you press the power button
before starting the duplication process or during the process, the mirror of the
disks may be broken. You should start NEC Express5800/ft series after BMC
duplication process is completed.
To determine whether the duplication is completed, see the BMC status LED of
the mounted PCI module:
z
Red: not
duplicated
z
Amber: being
duplicated
z
Green: duplicated
For details of BMC status LEDs, see “LEDs” in Chapter 2 “General Description”.
