RAID Level 5
7 Information displays on the screen while the
array updates NVRAM ending with a Ready
*.
8Type SaveConfiguration.
9Type
FirmwareRestart to reboot the array.
10 Reboot the host computer connected via Fibre
Channel or SCSI to the array.
11 The array is now configured. To verify the
configuration, type DriveInfo. If any sleds are
missing, the sled slots are reported as
offline
.
To set up one RAID Level 5 group with one Hot
Spare sled
1 Connect to Diamond Storage Array services
(refer to
Accessing the Array
on page 17) and use
the Command Line Interface or enter ATTO
ExpressNAV browser interface Advanced CLI
Configuration page.
2Type set QuickRAID5 ALL 1
3Type SaveConfiguration Restar
t
The array is configured into one RAID Level 5
group with one Hot Spare sled.
Removing RAID groups
To remove RAID groups
1 Connect to Diamond Storage Array services via
the RS-232 port or the optional Ethernet
management services card (refer to
Accessing
the Array
on page 17). You should now be in
CLI.
2 Continue with the CLI or access the RAID page
of the ExpressNAV interface (refer to
ATTO
ExpressNAV: Browser-based Interface
on page 25).
3Type set QuickRAID5 0. This configures the
array in JBOD mode.
4 Information displays on the screen while the
array updates NVRAM ending with a Ready
*.
5Type SaveConfiguration.
6Type
FirmwareRestart to reboot the array.
7 Reboot the host computer connected via Fibre
Channel or SCSI to the array.
8 The array is now configured. To verify the
configuration, type DriveInfo. If any sleds are
missing, the sled slots are reported as
