Drive Failure Notification

The data integrity in a RAID 5 storage unit is not affected if a single drive fails. All previously
recorded data is still available and new data can be written to the storage unit. If a second drive
fails, however, all of the stored data will be lost. It is important that a drive failure is recognized as
soon as it happens and the drive is replaced as soon as possible.
Your Intellex will immediately be notified of any RAID Storage System drive failures.The event
notification service in Intellex will then send notification to Network Client as well as an E-mail
notification. You must configure remote system logging on your RSS for drive failure notifications
to display correctly.

RAID Storage System as per the RAID Storage System Installation and Application Guide (8200-
