Splitting the RAID drives

Ensure that your system is in full working order and the RAID hardware
configuration is set up properly as described on
controller after a hardware change" (page
You must verify that the RAID channel 1 is connected to the first three hard drives
on the left as facing the machine, and channel 2 is connected to the last three to
the right. Either open the lid and follow the cables or take one hard drive offline
and observe which drive is marked FAIL by the system. If the drive matches the
graphic location on the Windows MegaRAID console, proceed with the next step.
The drives must not be un-seated, re-seated or disconnected during the RAID
splitting process unless you are planning to replace the drives.
Full data backup
As an extra precaution, it is recommended that a full system backup be performed
PRIOR to performing a RAID-split. For more information on system backups refer
to the CallPilot Manager online help.
Verifying consistency on the drives
This optional consistency check on the RAID system's logical drive ensures
that the data on the drives is identical. If any errors are found, they are
corrected automatically. Perform a consistency check before you split the
RAID system pack. A good data backup on an offline drive will be important
if you need to revert to the CallPilot system from an unsuccessful upgrade
or update. The consistency check can take up to 2 hours to complete.
