Promise Technology SX8300, FASTTRAK SX4300 user manual RAID 0 and Jbod

Chapter 3: FastBuild™ Utility

4.In the Define LD Menu screen, compare the number of drives assigned to the logical drive (Total Drv) with the disk drives listed under Drive Assignments.

In the above example, three drives are assigned but only two appear. The missing disk drive is the failed drive. The disk drive on Channel 2 has failed. In an actual situation, you would replace this disk drive.

See “Installing the Disk Drives” on page 7 for help identifying Channels on the FastTrak Controller card.

RAID 0 and JBOD

Because RAID 0 and JBOD logical drives are not fault-tolerant, there is no way to rebuild the logical drive when a disk drive fails. After you replace the failed disk drive, you must create a new logical drive and copy your data to it from a backup source.
