Maintenance; Storage - Cobalt Digital Inc RaQ XTR User Manual

Maintenance

In the Maintenance section under the Server Management tab, you can add
new storage media, reboot the server and access system information, such as
running a diagnostic test for trouble shooting problems on the server.

Storage

The RaQ XTR server can hold up to four internal hard disk drives. If your server
has less than four drives, you can add another hard disk drive. See Appendix C,
"Upgrading the RaQ XTR" for installing an internal hard drive.
A virtual site cannot span multiple disks and the RaQ XTR does not
automatically recognize virtual sites on a hard disk drive that has been transferred
from another RaQ XTR.
✍
Note: If you have replaced a failed hard drive in a RaQ XTR server,
you do not need to add the new hard drive through the Add Storage
feature. When rebooting, the system automatically detects the new
hard disk drive.
Once you replace a failed drive on a RaQ XTR and reboot the server,
the system detects the new hard disk drive and automatically begins
to re-integrate it.
•
•
During the process of re-integrating the new hard disk drive, the
RaQ XTR server is not in a RAID configuration but it can still
serve requests.
For a RAID-1 configuration, the system synchronizes the new
hard disk drive to the existing drive to recreate a mirrored disk
drive.
For a RAID-5 configuration, the system recreates the failed
hard disk drive from the data available on the other hard disk
drives.
