Rebuild RAID Groups

If you receive an E-mail notification from the FastStream VT 5300 as set up previously using the Phone Home error notification (refer to Configuration Display page on page 14) or otherwise realize a VTL’s RAID Group has been compromised because of a failed drive, you need to rebuild the VTL’s associated RAID Group.

1If you are not already in the FastStream GUI, type the IP address of your appliance, as found in Discover the IP address on page 5, in a standard browser, click Enter Here and type in your username and password.

Diagnostic

4Click Next

5Click on the degraded drive.

6Click Commit

7The LED on the degraded drive flashes.

Note

The status of a drive which cannot be accessed is displayed as Unavailable. To identify this drive, observe the access lights for all drives in the RAID Group during disk access: if the LED is not flashing on a drive, it is the unavailable drive.

8When you have identified the failed drive, select the drive in the Identify Drive box to stop the LED flash.

Note

It is best practice to stop drive activity while changing drives.

9Remove the failed drive from the array.

10Insert the new drive into the array.
