LD (Logical Disk) Setting Procedure

When the additional FC disk drives are added to the disk array unit, the RAID type and LD (logical
disk) must be set appropriately.
Set the RAID type and LD (logical disk) by using the "WebSAM NEC Storage Manager", or contact
the service engineer with expert knowledge in your service representative for setting of the RAID type
and LD.
If the disk array unit is connected with NF9520-SH01E (HBA) and used as a basic
disk for Windows 2000, changing the LD (logical disk) configuration may cause the
OS to fail to recognize the logical disks.
Be sure to restart the host system after changing the LD configuration.

Spare Disk Setting Procedure

Spare disk can be set only in RAID type 1, 5, 6, 10, or 50.
Set the spare disk by using the "WebSAM NEC Storage Manager", or contact the service engineer
with expert knowledge in your service representative for setting of the spare disk.
When you change a failing disk to a spare disk, confirm the following to get the
spare disk to function normally: The capacity and rotational speed of the spare disk
is equal to that of the failing disk.
If your disk array unit contains disks of different capacities or different rotational
speeds, you should define a spare disk matching the capacity and rotational speed
of each disk in order to clarify disk management.
Up to 32 spare disks can be installed for the entire disk array unit.
