To swap the RMA'd hard drives, perform the following steps:
- Identify the failed drive.
( Example below the output shows that disk drive A2 failed and the drive model is ST91000640NS.)
admin@M-100> show system raid detail
Disk Pair A Available
Status clean, degraded
Disk id A1 Present
model : ST91000640NS
size : 953869 MB
status : active sync
Disk id A2 Present
model : ST91000640NS
size : 953869 MB
status : failed
- Remove the failed hard disk drive (HDD) pair from the RAID 1 array.
admin@M-100> request system raid remove A2 (A2 is chosen based on the example above)
- Remove the failed HDD and insert replacement. (Verify it is the same model is current one listed in raid detail output)
- Once installed, Add the replacement drive to the RAID 1 array.
admin@M-100> request system raid add A2
(The system automatically configures the new drive to mirror the contents of the other drive in that RAID 1 array.)
- Continue to view RAID status until you see that the disk pair (Disk Pair A in this example) shows Available and both drives show the status active sync. To view RAID status, run the following command: show system raid detail
(Example of RAID 1 still building )
> show system raid detail
Disk Pair A Available
Status clean,degraded, recovering (14% complete)
Disk id A1 Present
model : ST91000640NS
size : 953869 MB
status : active sync
Disk id A2 Present
model : ST91000640NS
size : 953869 MB
status : spare rebuilding
(Example of RAID 1 building complete )
admin@M-100> show system raid detail
Disk Pair A Available
Status clean
Disk id A1 Present
model : ST91000640NS
size : 953869 MB
status : active sync
Disk id A2 Present
model : ST91000640NS
size : 953869 MB
status : active sync
Note: Depending on the size of the disk, it may take 2 to 3 hours for the disks to come in RAID. Once completed, reboot the Panorama M-100, so that system initializes with a new pair of hard disks.
