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.

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.
