7.0 Modify Storage
Use the ExpressNAV Storage Manager to replace a failed drive, add new drives or redesign RAID configurations.
You may modify various aspects of storage using the
Manage Menu found by clicking on the tab on the left
hand side of the ExpressNAV Storage Manager. Be
cautious when deleting storage or rearranging storage
configurations because data could be compromised or
lost. Always back up your storage.
The ExpressNAV Storage Manager takes you step by
step through many procedures which allow you to
modify your storage and RAID configurations. Read all
notes and cautions carefully as you go to ensure the
best performance and use of your storage.
When you initially set up the FastStream, replace a
failed drive or add new drives to the FastStream,
perform drive initialization and verification to these
drives. Refer to
Ensure Drive Integrity on page 15.
Many of these procedures are only available on
unallocated storage which is not currently part of a
RAID Group, not designated as a Hot Spare (refer to
FastStream process: adding or removing Hot
Spares
on page 40), or has been designated as
“Replaced” when you initially set up RAID
configurations.
