2.2.3 Status-Only Mode
The
Status Only Mode
is entered when the rotary switch (
SW3
) is in the
JBOD
,
BIG
,
RAID 0 (FAST)
,
RAID 1 (SAFE)
,
SAFE33
, or
SAFE50
RAID mode.
This mode allows you to use the SteelVine Manager GUI to monitor the status of the
RAID box (i.e. volume capacity, volume status, and RAID mode), but not to change the
RAID mode configuration through the GUI. To select a RAID mode in Status Only Mode,
the first time that the product is used, ensure that the hard disk drives are installed, set
the rotary switch (SW3) on the back to the desired RAID Mode (not the GUI selection)
and turn on the power. To change the RAID Mode thereafter, set the rotary switch to the
desired position and press the RAID Mode Confirm (SW2) with a pin tip to create the
new virtual volume(s). Note that creating new virtual volumes will destroy any existing
data that existed on the previous volume.
NOTE:
In Status Only mode, the “Configure Box” menu item is not
visible.
