Reverting to a previous software image takes a few minutes.
To follow the progress and see when the appliance is ready, use a serial console to connect to the
appliance.
Synchronizing RAID
The appliances support two storage devices. RAID1 mirroring across both storage devices is used.
This lets the appliance continue to work if there is a storage device failure.
The mirror rebuild is automatic. Both storage devices must be the same type.
First Boot Up
At first boot up, wait for up to six hours to let the storage devices fully synchronize. If you reboot the
appliance before the storage devices are synchronized, the synchronization starts again from the
beginning at the next boot.
To monitor the RAID status of the storage devices on the appliance in Gaia Portal
