4. Activate the replaced device. Use the MONITOR.NLM Disk Information
option to select the device. Some versions of NetWare will cause a
"device activate" to occur automatically when this option is chosen.
Other versions of NetWare require manual activation of the device by
changing the operating status to active. If reactivation of the failed
logical drive is successful, the driver sends a console alert.
5. Use the INSTALL.NLM and NWCONFIG for NetWare 5.x option
Change Hot Fix (look at the information provided about the mirrored
drive, not the failed drive) to determine the number of Hot Fix
Redirection blocks set up for this partition.
NOTE: Although the logical drive may have a valid partition table, the data on this logical
drive is no longer valid. Some data may appear valid because the failed physical drive
was only a portion of the arrayed logical drive. However, there is a hole in the logical drive
data. Delete any old, invalid data and create a new partition on the logical drive.
6. Use the INSTALL.NLM and NWCONFIG for NetWare 5.x to delete and
create the partition on the repaired logical drive.
7. Return to the INSTALL.NLM Disk Options menu. Select the Modify
Disk Partitions and Hot Fix Option. The driver should reactivate the
failed logical drive. The driver sends a console alert if reactivation of the
failed logical drive is successful. On the INSTALL.NLM Available Disk
Drives menu, select the previously failed logical drive, which has now
been repaired. The device information was recorded in step 1. For
example:
NWPA:
[V503-A2-D1:0] Compaq SMART-2 Slot 8 Disk 2 NFT
Select the Delete Partition option. INSTALL may display several error
messages. Delete the volume associated with this partition. Since you
will delete this partition, do not update any Volume Definition Table
information. Continue until the partition has been deleted.
If INSTALL reports that it cannot delete the partition because another
process has it locked, load MONITOR and look at the System
Resources option to determine which NLM has locked the device. It
may be MONITOR.NLM, so unload MONITOR and any other NLMs
that have the partition locked. After creating the partition and volume
information, reload the NLMs.
8. Create the partition on the same logical drive (refer to the operating
system documentation).
9. Create and mount the volume (refer to the operating system
documentation).
10. Locate the recent backup media and restore the data to this server
volume.
