Hot swapping the FortiAnalyzer-2000/2000A and FortiAnalyzer-4000/4000A
The following diagram indicates the drive number and their location in the
FortiAnalyzer unit when you are looking at the front of the unit. Refer to this
diagram before removing the disk drive to ensure you remove the correct one.
You can use any brand of hard disk to replace a failed hard disk; however, you
must ensure that the hard disk size is the same size or larger as the remaining
working drives. Using a smaller drive will affect the RAID setup. The FortiAnalyzer
unit will reconfigure the RAID for the smallest drive, potentially causing data loss.
Table 5: FortiAnalyzer-2000/2000A disk drive configuration
Table 6: FortiAnalyzer-4000 disk drive configuration
The FortiAnalyzer-4000A can have different disk drive configurations because the
disk layout depends on the RAID controller model.
To swap a hard disk
1Go to System > Config > RAID.
If you are using the RAID Monitor widget, select RAID Settings in the title bar
area. The RAID Monitor widget displays which hard disk has failed, displaying a
warning symbol next to the failed disk.
2Select Remove for the failed hard disk.
3Remove the hard disk from the drive bay on the FortiAnalyzer unit.
• On the FortiAnalyzer-2000/2000A, press in the tab and pull the drive handle to
remove the dive.
• On the FortiAnalyzer-4000/4000A, using a screw driver, turn the handle lock so
it is horizontal. Push the blue latch right and pull the drive handle to remove the
drive.
4Select Click to start the controller re-scan.
The FortiAnalyzer disk controller scans the available hard disks and updates the
RAID array for the remaining hard disks. The RAID array status will be
“Degraded”.
5Insert the new hard disk into the empty drive bay on the FortiAnalyzer unit.
6Select Click to start controller re-scan.
The FortiAnalyzer disk controller will scan the available hard disks and update its
information with the new hard disk.
7Select Add to add the hard disk to the RAID array.
The FortiAnalyzer unit rebuilds the RAID array with the new hard disk.
