Working With A Failed Array - Linksys NSS4000 Series Administrator's Manual

Working with a Failed Array

If a RAID is in a failed state, the data on the array is not recoverable. You need to delete the array,
replace the disk drive, and then configure a new array.
To create an array when an array fails:
1. Remove the failed drive from the NSS and install the replacement disk. (This step can be done
out of order as long as it is installed before you configure the new array.)
2. Reboot the NSS. Make sure you do a safe reboot using the Reboot function
Shutting Down the NSS) from the System Details page.
3. When the system reboots, log into the configuration interface.
4. From the Manager Menu, click Storage
The RAID page appears. The failed array appears with a status of "Stopped".
5. Click Delete.
The disk drives used in the failed array become part of the available storage.
6. Create a new array as required.
Once built, you can set up the volumes, shares, and quotas for the array. If the failed array
contained the volume used as the Home Directory Location, set the location to the volume you
want to use.
