4. Open the Server Administrator application and expand the System Tree.
The new hard drive should be automatically added to the Physical Disks list. The list is typically available
here:
System > Storage > PERC H730 > Connector 0 >Enclosure > Physical Disks
.
5. Assign a task to the new hard drive or allow it to exist as a extra storage drive.
It is recommended that individual new hard drives be used as hot spares. Hot spares are hard drives that
are available on standby in the event of a hard drive failure in the RAID. If that occurs, you can configure
the system to automatically redirect recording to the unused hard drive.
To assign the new hard drive as a hot spare, select
Assign and Unassign Global Hot Spare
from the Task
list then click
Execute
.
If the new hard drive is not displayed in the Server Administrator, try one of the following:
l
Refresh the browser.
l
Reboot the recorder.
l
In the System Administrator, select
PERC H730
in the System Tree then click
Information/Configuration
in
the right workspace. Next, select
Rescan
from the Controller Tasks list then click
Execute
.
