5.3.3 Expand RAID Set

This  function allows  the user  to directly expand the capacity of a RAID set currently in use without having to 
delete the current RAID set before rebuilding.

Note : 

(1) The newly added capacity  must have a volume set up before it can be used. This can  be per-

formed through “Volume Set Functions”.

(2) Once a capacity expansion is in progress the process can’t be paused.
(3) During a capacity expansion, if  one of  the HDD is damaged and there is a Hot Spare defined, 

once the capacity expansion is complete the system will automatically rebuild the data.

(4) If the original storage already contains data, please backup the data to another machine’s stor-

age space before proceeding with the expansion to avoid losing your data.

5.3.4 Offline RAID Set

This  feature has been built through the established removable disk  arrays, facilitate you to conduct followup 
into a new set of disk arrays.

5.3.5 Activate RAID Set

If a HDD was  removed when the system  has  been turned off, the RAID set status  will be set to “Incomplete 
State”. If the user wishes  to continue using the system, after the system boots  up they must first activate the 
incomplete RAID set.

5.3.6 Create Hot-Spare

This function can be used to set an idle HDD as the Hot Spare disk. When another hard disk in the RAID set 
is damaged, the Hot Spare can be used to automatically rebuild the lost data.

5.3.7 Delete Hot-Spare

Selecting this function deletes a previously set up Hot-Spare disk.

5.3.8 Rescue RAID Set

The “RESCUE” function can recover the missing RAID set information.
