24 hours. Depending on the disk capacity, the repair may not be terminated within the defined time. Without commands from the upper system, the repair operates in the fastest mode. See "Individual Settings (Bind/Unbind of Logical Disk)" in "NEC Storage Series Configuration Guide" for the use of the management software (WebSAM NEC Storage Manager).
An arbitrary logical disk capacity can be bound by using the management software. To bind logical disks, enter the capacity in GBs (M=1024^3). See "Individual Settings (Bind/Unbind of Logical Disk)" in "NEC Storage Series Configuration Guide" for the use of the management software (WebSAM NEC Storage Manager).
This feature creates the replication of a logical disk in a single unit. To create the replication, the source logical disk must have the same capacity as the destination disk. This feature is available only on NEC Storage S1400. To use this feature, the specific software "SystemGlobe DynamicDataReplication - NEC Storage S1400" sold separately is required.

You can update the storage control software by yourself. However, if you fail to update it, the disk array unit can no longer operate at the worst. NEC maintenance service representative provides the installation service (additionally charged) for updating the storage control software. It is strongly recommended that you should ask your maintenance service representative who has technical knowledge to update it.
