Changing Disk Drives
For the Infoblox-2000 Appliance
19
•
If a drive failed, there is an audio alarm buzzer. The alarm automatically stops about 20 seconds after a
functional disk has been inserted into the array.
•
All disks in the RAID array should have the same disk type for the array to function properly.
•
In the unlikely event that two disk drives fail simultaneously and the appliance is still operational, remove and
replace the failed disk drives one at a time.
•
Rebuild time can vary. The rebuild process takes approximately two hours on an idle appliance. On very busy
appliances (over 90% utilization), the disk rebuild process can take as long as 40 hours. On a grid master
serving a very large grid, expect the rebuild process to take at least 24 hours.
•
Replace a failed or mismatched disk only with a replacement disk shipped from Infoblox. When you request a
replacement disk, report the disk type displayed in the
Detailed Status
panel of the Infoblox GUI or the
Infoblox part number on the disk.
