RAID operations

To synchronize the RAID after a successful PEP installation

To restore RAID to full service after a successful PEP installation:

1Without shutting down the server, from Windows, click Start > Programs > Power Console Plus > Launch Client.

Note: Ensure that Access Mode > Full Access is selected.

2Click OK.

Result: The MegaRAID Power Console Plus window appears.

3In the Physical Devices section, right-click the hard disk drive that is marked FAILED.

Example: A01-2-Failed.

ATTENTION

 

Do not make the failed drive online at this point, or data

 

 

corruption can occur. If you failed the wrong drive by

 

mistake, you must select rebuild to bring it back into

 

service.

4From the right mouse shortcut menu, select Rebuild.

Result: When the rebuild is complete, the drive status changes to ONLINE and the color of the icon changes to green.

The process can take up to 1 hour. If the server reboots during the rebuild process, the rebuild continues when the server restarts. However, a power down or reboot is not recommended during the rebuild process.

To synchronize the RAID after an unsuccessful PEP installation

If the PEP installation fails, you must return the system to the original configuration.
