Understanding System RAID
The System RAID page provides a graphical and textual display of the RAID status for the hard
drives on the SonicWALL CDP appliance. The page refreshes the status display every 30
seconds.
The System RAID page is available only on appliances that have a RAID controller, including
the SonicWALL CDP 6080 and 5040. Some earlier models also provide RAID. The System >
RAID page for a SonicWALL CDP 6080 is shown in
Figure 1
The SonicWALL CDP 6080 can operate with either four or eight hard drives, while the
SonicWALL CDP 5040 accommodates four drives. In SonicWALL CDP 6080 with four drives,
the drives in the secondary array are shown as cover plates at the top of the graphic, as in
Figure
If there is any problem with the RAID configuration on any of the drives, the display will indicate
the status of the drive. RAID will continue to function normally when one drive is impaired or
removed, but data can be lost if two or more drives are unavailable to the RAID controller.
