Adding a storage device
To add a second hard disk drive or external disk storage device through the UI:
1. On the Server Management screen, click Maintenance on the left. The File
Backup table appears.
2. Click Storage at the top. The Storage in Use table appears. See Figure 33.
3. Click Add Storage.
A list of available disk storage devices appears; see Figure 33. By default, if
more than one device is available, all of the devices are selected to be added.
To de-select a disk storage device, click the box beside that device.
4. To add a disk, give the device a unique name. You can use only alphanumeric
characters for the name. You cannot use the name “home” as that is the name
of the primary hard disk of the RaQ 4.
5. Click Confirm New Storage to add the storage to the RaQ 4.
When adding a new virtual site to the RaQ 4, the RaQ 4 Administrator can
choose where to store the new site. In the Add New Virtual Site table, next to the
Maximum allowed disk space (MB) parameter, a pull-down menu lists in
alphabetical order the available storage devices. The storage device with the most
available space is chosen by default.
For more information, see “Adding a virtual site” on page 47.
✍
Note: If you try to assign the name home to the second hard disk
drive, you receive an error message stating “the name home is in
use”.
✍
Note: You can choose to check the integrity of the disk when adding
the second hard disk drive. However, this option significantly
increases the time it takes to format a drive. To enable this option,
click the box in the Check column beside the hard disk drive.
