Click the Delete button.

Note: An array in use by the operating system cannot be deleted. Any data stored on

a deleted array will be inaccessible

Adding Disks to an Array

When an array member in a redundant array fails, the array will be listed as broken. A

broken array will be automatically rebuilt using available-spare disks. However, if you

have no spare disks configured, you can still rebuild by manually adding an Available

Disk to the array. To add a disk to a broken array:

1)

Select menu “Manage - Array”.

2)

Click the Maintenance button.

3)

Click the Add Disk button.

4)

If the disk is successfully added to the array, rebuild process will start

automatically.

Note: If the system utilizes hot-swap capable enclosures, you can add new physical

disks to the RocketRAID card in order to rebuild or modify an existing array, using the

Rescan” feature.

Verifying an Array

For a RAID 1 or RAID1/0 array, verify process compares the data of one mirror pair

with the other. For RAID 5, verify process calculates RAID5 parity and compares it to

the parity data on the array. Verification checks each sector on a drive. Periodic

verification of an array allows the disk drive firmware to take corrective actions on

problem areas on the disk, minimizing the occurrence of uncorrectable read and write

errors.
