3-36 Windows Setup and Operation

Models supporting the RDR function

This section describes a procedure for replacing a disk when a failure occurs to a disk which is duplicated by the RDR function.

Here, an example that a failure of the disk in slot 2 of the PCI module for Group 1 is determined as described in “How to Locate Failed Disks” is explained.

IMPORTANT:

The display of RDR Utility is not updated automatically. Therefore, update it by clicking [Refresh] from [Action] or pressing F5 on the menu after performing operations described below.

Do not update RDR Utility frequently immediately after inserting a disk.

1.From [Start], click [All Programs], point to [RDR], and select [RDR Utility] to start RDR Utility.

2.Remove the disk in the slot 2 of the PCI module for Group 1.

3.Insert a new disk to the slot 2 of the PCI module for Group 1.

Then, RDR is automatically set to the inserted disk, synchronization starts and the status changes as described in 4.

IMPORTANT:

For a disk to be inserted, use a new or physically formatted disk which has the same capacity as the disk of the corresponding slot (in this example, the disk in slot 2 of the PCI module for Group 2).
