Changing the Array Name
You can change the name of the array. This does not affect the target ID or LUN values of the array. The controller does not allow you to change an array name when a utility is running.
To change the array name:
1From the System Menu, select Array Menu and press Enter. The Select Array screen displays with a list of existing arrays.
2Select the array you want and press Enter. The Array Menu screen displays.
3Select Change Array Name and press Enter. The Enter New Name screen displays.
4Enter the name you want to use and press Enter.
You can use up to 35 characters. You can include any characters in the name, including spaces.
The system confirms that you want to make the change.
5Select Yes and press Enter.
Trusting an Array
You can use the Trust Array function to bring an array back online by resynchronizing the time and date stamp and any other metadata on a bad disk. This makes the disk an active member of the array again. You might need to do this when:
✁One or more disks of an array start up more slowly or were powered on after the rest of the disks in the array. This causes the date and time stamps to differ, which the controller interprets as a problem with the “late” disks. In this case, the array will function normally after using Trust Array.
✁An array is offline because a drive is failing, you have no data backup, and you want to try to recover the data from the array. In this case, the Trust Array function may work, but only as long as the failing drive continues to operate.
Before you can use this function, you must enable it in the Option Configuration menu.
