RAIDWatch User’s Manual
shutting down the system (hot-swapping). All EonStor subsystems
support drive hot-swapping.
♦ If the replacement drive is installed on the same channel and ID
(the original drive slot where the faulty drive was), you can then
proceed with data rebuilding.
♦ If the replacement drive is installed on a different channel or ID
(different drive slot) or the periodic drive scan function has been
disabled, you need to scan in the new drive first, and then assign it
as a spare drive of the logical drive which had a drive failure. Data
rebuilding will have to be manually initiated.
IMPORTANT!
Although the RAID system provides uninterrupted disk access even after a
disk failure, do not leave a failed drive unattended. Without replacement,
the system will not survive a second physical drive failure on the same
logical drive (RAID3 and 5). A defective drive must be promptly replaced
and data rebuilt.
CAUTION!
When performing hot-swapping, be sure to remove only the defective
drive. Removing the wrong drive will result in complete, irrecoverable
data loss. Use the Enclosure View window or Logical Drive Information
window to locate exactly which physical drive has failed.
2.5 Before You Start
RAIDWatch Manager comes with password protection that prevents
unauthorized modification of the disk array configuration. During each
attempt at modifying the system configuration, the configuration will
require the correct password before proceeding.
By default, the RAIDWatch Manager station comes with a password for
login as an Information viewer. For information on how to set a password
and other security features, see the Password section of Chapter 7,
Configuration Parameters.
