Raid Splitting - Avaya CallPilot 1005r Maintenance And Diagnostics

RAID splitting

Ensure that your system is in full working order and the RAID hardware configuration is set up
properly as described on
Split the RAID before you install software upgrades (PEPs). If you are performing a platform
upgrade or migration, refer to the Upgrade and Platform Migration Guide (NN44200-400) for
complete instructions.
Important:
As an extra precaution, Avaya recommends that you perform a full system backup prior to
performing a RAID-split. For more information about system backups, see the CallPilot
Manager online Help.

At this point, the RAID is split, and the drive marked FAILED is the backup drive and
is no longer written to. You can install a PEP on the system and use the backup
drive to back out of the installation.
Important:
Do not make the failed drive online at this point, or data corruption can occur. If
you failed the wrong drive by mistake, you must select rebuild to bring it back into
service.
