Managing Your Storage System
Note
In a linear configuration, the Hotplug Indicator is RED for all the disks because removing any one of
them will remove data from the storage system. However, this will not adversely affect any of the
other disks.
In addition, while a disk is being rebuilt, all the other disks are RED, since removing any one of them
at this point will cause the RAID to fail.
If you remove a viable disk and cause only RAID degradation, you can re-install the same disk and
resume normal operation.
Note
If you remove two or more disks, you must re-install them in the reverse order to help maintain data
integrity. For example, if you remove disk A from slot 1 and then remove disk B from slot 2, you must
re-install disk B first, then disk A. You can put the disks back into different slots, but they must be
re-installed in the opposite order from which they were removed.
If you remove one or more viable disks and cause the entire RAID to fail, you can shut down the storage
system, re-install the same disks, and then restart the storage system. As long as you re-install the
original disks, the storage system should be able to resume proper operation, although the integrity
of the data cannot be guaranteed. However, if you replace the removed disks with new disks, you
must reconfigure your disks (as described in “Storage System Disk Status” on page 54).
Caution
Reconfiguring your disks will delete all the data on your storage system.
