Chapter 12: GigaStor RAID Maintenance
Monitoring and maintaining the GigaStor RAID array
There is very little that must be done with the RAID other than to install the drives and, if you wish, monitor the
drives in the RAID array.
Note:
If your GigaStor RAID has more than 256 TB, see for information about improving the performance of the
array.
To maintain your GigaStor, you may want to
Get e-mail notifications if a drive in the RAID array is failing.

Monitoring the RAID drives through e-mail notifications
The RAID array is built at the factory and then the drives are removed and packaged separately to minimize the
risk of hardware damage during shipping.
Network Instruments does not recommend you attempt to do anything with the RAID without contacting its
Support department. You could lose some or all data on the array.
Network Instruments uses a third party monitoring tool to monitor the RAID array. It is developed by Areca. You
can be notified by e-mail if there is an issue with the array.
