Modifying arrays
After the array has been created and is online you can make changes to:
■
The name of the array.
■
The Read-Ahead and Writeback cache parameters.
Important
You can restore the original settings by
clicking
RESTORE
, which cancels any
changes you have made as long as you
have not clicked the
APPLY
button.
To modify an array:
1
From the Main window click the array name you want to modify in the
Arrays section. The ARRAY window opens.
Important
If the array was trusted or never
initialized, you can initialize the array
from this window by clicking the
INITIALIZE button. Arrays can also be
re-initialized. If an array has been
initialized, the button name changes to
Re-Initialize.
2
Type a new name for the array in the Name field, then click APPLY .
Verifying parity
You should perform a parity check as a normal maintenance procedure to
ensure data integrity. Also, if a RAID 5/50 array controller is replaced after the
controller is powered off with write operations in progress, you may need to
verify and correct the parity data on the array.
