Models that do not support the RDR function
When a failure occurs on a disk mirrored by volume using [Disk Management], follow the steps below to replace the disk.
IMPORTANT:
To remove a disk due to a failure, etc., compare [Disk Management] and [RDR Utility] to determine the disk to remove. (For RDR Utility, see “About RDR Utility” on page
To reconfigure a mirror, be sure to confirm the TargetID in the disk’s [Properties] and use the disks with the same number. Do not mirror disks using the disk number shown in [Disk Management].
When the disk to be inserted into a slot for duplexed configuration of disk has been used as a disk which contains the boot volume (disk storing the OS), the disk cannot be used for duplexed configuration. Initialize the disk to use the disk.
This section describes an example of determining failures of the disk in the Slot 2 of the PCI module for Group1 and the disk in the Slot 3 of the PCI module for Group2 using “How to Locate Failed Disks”.
1.Click [Start] → [Administrative Tools] → [Computer Management]. The [Computer Management] window appears.
2.Click [Disk Management] under [Storage] in the console tree. An example in this figure shows that one of the mirrored disks in which Drives E and F are included is broken. Some disks are indicated as “Unknown disk.” However, they may be indicated differently depending on the error type. Even in such cases, failed disks can be recovered by following the steps below:
3.Remove the hard disks from Slot#2 of Group 1 and Slot#3 of Group 2.
