LOGICAL DEVICE INFORMATION > MAINTENANCE
If you click the Maintenance link a small dialog box called Array Information should appear. Within this dialog box there are four
functions available: Delete, Unplug, Verify, and Rename. They are described below.
A. Delete – this option deletes the logical disk array and all of its data.
B. Unplug – this option is the same as unmounting a disk from your operating system before physically disconnecting it. You
should do this first if you need to physically remove a disk from your enclosure.
C. Verify – when the array in question is a RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 10, or RAID 50, this option rebuilds the entire array to ensure
its integrity. No data is lost during this process, but it can take many hours to complete, depending on the size of the array.
Typically arrays are rebuilt at a rate of about 6 hours per terabyte (1TB).
D. Rename – use this feature to rename the existing RAID array.
RESCAN
If you click Rescan the RAID Management application will recheck the devices connected to the system to check for newly mounted
RAID volumes and new spare drives. Occasionally you may need to use this feature to update the Logical Device screen or other
screens after you have performed an action within the RAID Management application, such as creating a new array.
BEEPER MUTE
This feature will temporarily turn off the alarm on your MAXPower card.
SPARE POOL
The Spare Pool screen will show you which drives remain available for use as spares, should one of the drives in your RAID 1, RAID
5, RAID 10 or RAID 50 array fail. Simply select the disk(s) you want to include and click the Add Spare button. When you do so, the
drive will automatically be made available any time a drive failure is detected.
