Preliminary steps

Ê If the HDD module to be removed is combined into a RAID array, please
proceed as follows:
RAID level Procedure
RAID 0
Removing an HDD module from a RAID 1 or RAID 5 array
will not result in data loss.
However, the removed drive needs to be replaced
immediately by an HDD module of the same or larger
RAID 1
capacity.
RAID 5
In order to permanently remove an operational HDD module that is part of a
RAID array from the server, you first need to delete the array using
ServerView RAID Manager.
V
CAUTION!
All data on all HDDs in the array will be lost when deleting the RAID
array! Be sure to back up your data before deleting a RAID array.
For more information, see the "ServerView Suite RAID Management"
user guide.

CAUTION!
RAID 0 provides no data redundancy.

lost!

After replacing the HDD module, RAID rebuild will
be performed as a background process, see
section "Performing a RAID array rebuild" on
page 99.
