RAID Configuration Scripts for Mac
G-Technology provides RAID Configuration Scripts so you can quickly configure/recon- figure the RAID mode of G-SPEED eS Pro. Download the scripts from www.g-technolo- gy.com/support/gspeed_es_pro/.
These scripts will configure ALL G-SPEED eS Pro enclosures attached to the RAID controller, using ALL drives
in the new RAID group. Disconnect any G-SPEED eS Pro enclosure that you do not want to reconfigure.
WARNING: these scripts will completely erase the data on your drive(S) while reconfiguring the raid mode and will require the drive to be formatted using disk utility.
To change the RAID mode, do the following steps. There is no Undo function, so use the scripts very carefully!
1.Make sure you have backed up the data on all G-SPEED eS Pro enclosures connected before continuing. This process will erase ALL DATA on ALL DRIVES.
2.Unmount G-SPEED eS Pro by dragging the icon to the trash. (Keyboard shortcut: Command+E.)
3.Double-click the command file that matches the RAID mode to which you would like to reconfigure the G-SPEED eS Pro(s). You will need to be logged into an
account with Administrator privileges.
4.A terminal window will automatically open and execute the command file. G-SPEED eS Pro will begin to initialize if RAID 5 or RAID 6 was selected. This process takes approxomately 45 min per TB. RAID 0 does not require intialization and the new volume will be immediately available for system format.
5.When the configuration process is complete, you will need to format the G-SPEED eS Pro using Disk Utility. See Initialize Drive for Mac for instructions.
