Maintaining an AMI MegaRAID Elite 1600 RAID system
When the failure event is acknowledged, the hard drive that failed should be
replaced as soon as possible. The system proceeds with rebuilding the new
drive as soon as its presence is detected. During the rebuild process, the
alarm continues to sound, the status of the drive changes to REBUILD, and
the icon changes to YELLOW on the Windows graphical user interface.
The rebuild process usually takes between 30 to 60 minutes. Nortel
Networks strongly suggests that the system should not be restarted during
this time. At the end of the rebuild process, the system notifies you about the
completion and returns to the original status before the failure occurred. The
alarm stops automatically.
Using the RAID subsystem as a backup tool
The price of the hard drives as well as the fast process of backing up data,
makes the RAID subsystem a very high-performance and inexpensive
backup tool. However, processor load during disk drive intensive activity is
very high and can affect overall system performance.
To back up the data
1 Load MegaRAID Client Power console. Ensure all drives are in Online
state (GREEN).
2 Label all drives as follows:
A01-01 First drive ID0 (PACK 1)
A02-01 Second drive ID1 (PACK 2)
A03-01 Third drive ID2 (PACK 3)
A01-02 Fourth drive ID3 (PACK 1- mirror of first drive)
A02-02 Fifth drive ID4 (PACK 2- mirror of second drive)
A03-02 Sixth drive ID5 (PACK 3- mirror of third drive)
3 Right-click the Channel 2/first drive (that is, (0) A1-2-Onln).
4 Select Tools
Result: A warning message appears.
