Procedures to Replace Failed Disks
This section describes a procedure for replacing a disk when a failure occurs to a disk that is duplexed by the
RDR function.
Important
Do not update RDR Utility frequently immediately after inserting a disk.
For a disk to be inserted, use a new or physically formatted disk which has the
same capacity as the disk of the corresponding slot (in this example, the disk in
slot 1 of the PCI module 10)
Tips
The display of RDR Utility is not updated automatically. Therefore, update it every time
you check the status of disks by clicking
Refresh
from
Action
on the menu or pressing
<
F5
>.
When the disk is physically formatted and recycled, the inserted disk might be
automatically set to RDR.
