With RAID-System
The integrated RAID technology allows continuous recording when a hard disk drive fails.
The defective hard disk drive can be replaced during operation (hot-swap).
Proceed as described below, to ensure the highest possible data security:
Note that
•
new HDDs must be tested and released for mounting by Dallmeier (HDD whitelist in the
Partner Forum).
•
new HDDs may not be formatted or partitioned.
•
HDDs from other Smatrix devices may not be used.
•
the number of sectors is decisive for the capacity of a HDD, not the usually specified
gross capacity (GB).
The capacity of a new HDD must be the same as the capacity of the replaced HDD (or
larger).
Recommended procedure for the case of service
In case of disk failure, the spare hard disk drive is recovered and the recording is continued
on the remaining hard disk drives.
Identify the defective hard disk drive (
