Silencing the RAID Alarm
ARX-1000 Hardware Installation Guide A - 45
Silencing the RAID Alarm
After you remove the drive, an audible alarm goes off to signal that the drive
is missing. From the CLI (priv-exec mode), you can use the
raid silence
command to quiet this alarm:
raid silence
For example, the following command sequence logs into a switch at
10.1.49.60, enters
enable to go to priv-exec mode, and silences the RAID
alarm:
$ telnet 10.1.49.60
Trying 10.1.49.60...
Connected to 10.1.49.60.
Escape character is '^]'.

Replacing the Disk Drive
To replace the disk drive, slide it into the empty slot and tighten its two
captive screws. The screws should be at least finger tight for the drive to
properly engage.
Incorporating the Disk into the RAID
To incorporate the disk into the RAID, use the raid rebuild command from
priv-exec mode:
raid rebuild {disk1 | disk2}
where disk1 | disk2 specifies the disk to rebuild. The top disk is disk1.
For example, the following command rebuilds the lower disk:
gffstnA# raid rebuild disk2
gffstnA# ...
Monitoring the Rebuild
A disk rebuild can take more than an hour. To monitor the progress of the
rebuild, you can use the
show chassis diskuse command to see a
percentage-complete meter:
show chassis diskuse
The meter is a number in the Rebuild Progress field, under Disk Details.
