ATTO Technology Inc. Diamond Storage Array Installation and Operation Manual

8.0 Copying Drives

Copying drives using the

DriveCopy

CLI command may be necessary on drives in the JBOD

configuration.

DriveCopy can create a backup of a drive onto

another drive sled. If one drive fails, DriveCopy

may be used to copy the data off the remaining

drive on the sled to another drive on another sled.

Once completed, the sled containing the failed

drive may be replaced.

CAUTIONCAUTION

Make sure the destination backup drive

sled does not contain any important data

because it will be completely overwritten

by the

DriveCopy

command.

Procedure

Use the

DriveCopy

CLI command (refer to

Drive

Configuration Commands

on page 45) or use the

Advanced CLI Configuration

page in the

ExpressNAV interface to copy a drive from the

source disk to the destination disk. Parameters are

the sled and drive numbers of the source and

destination drives.

The destination drive must be offline: use the

ATADis kStat e

command to determine if the

destination disk is offline. If you choose the same

source and destination drive, this command will

perform a

DriveWipe

.

DriveCopyHalt

stops a

DriveCopy

operation in

progress.

DriveCopyResume

resumes a

DriveCopy

operation that had been stopped.

DriveCopyStatus

displays the status of a

DriveCopy

or

DriveWipe

operation

CAUTIONCAUTION

JBOD configurations

You may want to copy drives for backup.

However, since several configurations may

be present on a Diamond Storage Array,

you must be confident you are accessing

and overwriting the appropriate drives and

volumes.

CAUTIONCAUTION

RAID Level 0 systems

DriveCopy

may be used to coordinate the

generation of a backup of an entire RAID

Level 0 LUN.
