c. Data hosts last (if they had been powered down for maintenance purposes)

2. In RAIDar, select Monitor > Status > Vdisk Status to display the virtual disk

overview panel.

This panel displays an icon for each virtual disk with information about the virtual
disk below it.

Installing an Air Management Module

An air management module looks like a drive module; however, it is an empty box
used to maintain optimum airflow and proper cooling in an enclosure. If your
system was ordered with less than 12 drive modules it was shipped with air
management modules for the slots without drive modules. Optionally, air
management modules can be ordered.

If you must remove a drive module and cannot immediately replace it, you must
leave the faulty drive module in place, or insert an air management module to
maintain the optimum airflow inside the chassis. The blank is installed using the
same procedure as “Installing a Drive Module” on page 107.

Identifying Virtual Disk Faults

Obvious virtual disk problems involve the failure of a member disk drive. However,
there are a number of not so obvious issues that result in virtual disk faults as seen
in Table 7-6.

Table 7-6

Virtual Disk Faults

Problem

Solution

Expanding virtual disk requires
days to complete.

• In general, expanding a virtual disk can take days to complete.

You cannot stop the expansion once it is started.

• If you have an immediate need, create a new virtual disk of the

size you want, transfer your data to the new virtual disk, and
delete the old virtual disk.
