7 Managing a Drive

7.1 Disable a Drive

Presently, the only function of the Manage feature is to disable a drive. The purpose of this

feature is to disable (virtually) a drive that is performing at a very slow rate, which in turn, is
causing the RAID to perform slow. For example, a drive's performance speed may be too low,
but not at the rate where it has failed. Therefore, to regain the full speed of a RAID, it is
necessary to remove and replace that drive and rebuild the RAID. Please see Section, “Drive
Replacement,” above.

7.1.1

How to Disable a Drive

From the Storage tab, select the desired drive from the Disk sub-view and then click the
Manage button (Figure 42).

The user will be prompted to the Manage Disk window (Figure 43).

Select the Disable option and click Continue.

If the drive is already disabled, the Disable option will be grayed out and accompanied
by a message stating the reason.
