Sony StorStation FSV-M3 User Manual page 46

The RAID recovery begins and the "Device Detail" page appears.
"recovering" appears in the Status column and the background color is
yellow.
When the recovery is complete, the Status returns to "In Use [5/5]", which
completes the hard disk replacement.
Notes
Observe the following when replacing a hard disk with the procedure
above.
• When you have physically replaced a hard disk, you MUST perform the
procedure above from step 9 (perform the hotadd procedure). If you fail
to do so, you will be unable to use the new hard disk. Further, if you fail
to perform the hotadd procedure and restart the FSV-M3, problems may
arise and your data be damaged.
• Do not use hard disks other than the ones specified by Sony. Using such
hard disks may prevent the FSV-M3 from starting and/or damage your
data.
• Do not change the order of hard disks. Changing the order of the hard
disks can damage the data on the FSV-M3.
• Failing to replace a damaged hard disk before shutting down, turning off,
or restarting the FSV-M3 may prevent it from starting and/or damage
your data.
• It is impossible to restore the system if two or more hard disks
malfunction or are pulled out of the FSV-M3 simultaneously.
• It is impossible to replace a hard disk with hotswap when the system is
performing a RAID recovery.
• Depending on the nature of the hard disk problem, you may not be able
to search for some items with the system.
• Do not use hotswap to replace a hard disk when the system is starting or
being accessed.
Recommendations
• Replace a hard disk as soon as it develops a problem. However, make
sure that no one is accessing the system before proceeding.
• Replace hard disks with new hard disks.
