N O T E
If you receive an error message when using the Add
Physical Disk To RDR Virtual Disk command, the disk
you are trying to add may not have sufficient free space for
the metadata. Be sure the disk has a minimum of 10MB
free space.
A System Shutdown message may appear, stating that the system will reboot in two
minutes. If the message appears, let the system restart.
N O T E S
1. If you have added a system disk to an RDR virtual
disk, a message notifies you that the system will
reboot. The message gives you the option of
confirming or cancelling the request. The system also
restarts if you add a data disk to an RDR virtual disk
and the software cannot unmount all data volumes on
the disk.
2. You cannot add a physical disk to RDR if the disk is
dynamic or a nonblank data disk.
5. In the Device Configuration Change dialog box, click Yes.
6. Repeat steps 3–5
For example, expand ftServer I/O Enclosures, I/O Enclosure - 11,
Storage Enclosure - 40, Slot - 1, and then click Disk - 0.
7. Allow time for the two disks to synchronize.
•
While the disks are resynchronizing, LEDs blink to indicate read and write
operations and ftSMC displays a value of OpState: State Syncing in the details
pane for the disk.
To view the progress of the synchronization in ftSMC, expand Logical Disk
Information under ftServer I/O Enclosures, and select the virtual disk (for
example, RDR Virtual Disk 1). In the details pane, the progress is noted as a
percentage, as follows:
Status: Resync: 20 percent
When the disks are synchronized, the LEDs on both disks are lit steady green
and ftSMC displays a value of OpState: State: Duplex in the details pane for
the disk and for the virtual disk. The value next to Status for the virtual disk is
None.
for the corresponding disk in I/O element 11.
