Alarm Control
The alarm generates a beeping sound when one or more disks fail. The sound continues
until Silence Alarm is selected. After a rebuild finishes, a beep signals that the rebuild
is done. Choose Silence Alarm at this time to silence the alarm. Table 12.6 shows the
alarm settings:
Table 12.6 Alarm Settings
Setting Description
Enable/ Disable
Alarm Enables the alarm. If Disable Alarm appears, the alarm is
enabled. If Enable Alarm appears, the alarm is disabled. When
Enable Alarm is set, a beeping sound occurs even when all
logical drives are online and there are no failed disks after a hot
spare rebuild completes. Use the Silence Alarm function to stop
the alarm. The normal setting should be Enable Alarm.
Silence Alarm Stops the alarm if it is currently beeping. If the alarm is not
beeping, it has no effect. There is no normal setting. It acts as a
temporary switch.
Physical Drive Menu
The Power Console Plus Physical Drive menu has the following options:
•
Rebuild
•
Change Status
•
Properties
The following sections describe each of the implemented options.
Rebuild
Select the Rebuild option to rebuild one or more failed disk drives. Follow the
instructions on the screen. Select Abort Rebuild to stop the rebuild process at any time.
The drive will revert to its original status before the rebuild began.
A RAID 1 or 5 configuration has built-in redundancy. If a drive in a RAID group fails,
the RAID subsystem continues to work but no additional redundancy is provided.
Another drive failure will bring the system down. But the failed drive can be replaced
and added into the RAID system by rebuilding the drive. Select Rebuild to perform this
function. The rebuild process can take place while the RAID system is still running,
although performance may be slightly affected.
