Managing and Repairing RAIDs
64 Snap Server Administrator Guide
Determining RAID Set Status
To assess the status of a RAID, navigate to the
Storage > RAID Sets
screen.
Conditions that may require your attention are highlighted in yellow.
The RAID table displays the name, type, total capacity (size), and the remaining
capacity not allocated to a volume for each RAID. RAID status is indicated as
follows:
•OK
The RAID is functioning properly.
Degraded —
A drive has failed or been removed.
•Resync
A RAID repair operation is in progress.
•Failure
The RAID Set is off-line.
Tip
You can set the E-mail Notification feature to alert you when a RAID degrades.
See “Configuring E-mail Notification” on page 122.
Replacing Disk Drives on a RAID
This section describes how to safely remove and add drives to a degraded RAID.
On Snap Servers, a drive must be removed logically from the RAID using the
Administration Tool before it is removed physically from the server. Likewise, after
a fresh drive is inserted into the drive bay, you must use the Administration Tool to
add it to a RAID.
How RAIDs React to Disk Drive Removal
RAID 0 (nonredundant)
Removing a disk drive from a RAID 0 causes the RAID
to fail. This action renders any data residing on its drives inaccessible, and is not
recommended. If a RAID 0 disk drive is inadvertently removed, reinserting it
should restore file access.
RAID 1 or 5 (redundant)
Removing a disk drive from a RAID 1 or RAID 5
places the RAID into degraded mode. While operating in a degraded mode, users
can access or even update data. However, the array loses its redundant
characteristics until all drives of the array are available and operating properly.
