Cobalt RaQ 4 User Manual 83
A virtual site cannot span multiple disks and the RaQ 4 does not automatically
recognize virtual sites on an external disk storage device transferred from another
RaQ 4.
In the Maintenance section of the Server Management screen, the administrator
can add and format an internal hard disk drive (RaQ 4i) or a non-removable disk
storage device to the RaQ 4.
Figure 33 shows the Storage in Use table.

✍
Note: If you have replaced a failed hard disk drive in a RaQ 4r
server, you do not need to add the new hard disk drive through the
Add Storage feature. When rebooting, the system automatically
detects the new hard disk drive.
The RaQ 4r automatically synchronizes the new hard disk drive to
the existing hard disk drive so that the server is in RAID mode.
During the synchronization process, the RaQ 4r cannot provide disk
mirroring but it can still serve requests.
✍
Note: You must power down the RaQ 4 before adding or removing
an external disk storage device.
