. RAID trouble shooting . RAID trouble shooting The LG Network Storage RAID configuration is abnormal when error messages appear, hence resort to another solution: Note: To avoid data obstacles, first perform a back-up of all important data from the LG Network Storage. 1. RAID configuration error checkup ∙ Confirm whether there is an error on the RAID configuration: ① On the Status Information/Volume page, the volume configuration state will show as ”degraded/destroyed”.
8. RAID trouble shooting 2. Problem solutions Removing the HDD with the error and connecting a new hard drive (e.g. HDD 2) will display the new hard disk status to be inactive on the system/volume/add or remove HDD page. Select the hard disk and click the Add button and RAID will reconfigure. This will delete all contents of the new hard disk. RAID reconstruction entails to RAID 1 only.
8. RAID trouble shooting Appendix A Volume Construction & RAID Configuration This section describes volume configuration and supported RAID level. When configuring volume using RAID, the use of Disks of the same manufacturer and capacity is recommended to maximize stability and efficiency of configuration. In the case that the Disks differ in capacity and trademark, data may be lost due to low system stability and efficiency.
8. RAID trouble shooting ∙ Mirroring volumes Data can be exactly replicated to the Disk through this technique. If one Disk becomes damaged in the volume, data can be efficiently transferred, saved and backed up to another configured Disk. The volume’s storage capacity is equal to that of the smallest Disk in the RAID1, as the data is reproduced from Disk to Disk. The data backup is a priority during RAID1. The saving of important data is recommended.
8. RAID trouble shooting ∙ RAID0 striping volume The Disks are configured in parallel so that they are all being used at once to store data, as if they were one Disk in summation. Because the data is saved to each Disk in parallel, many files of low capacity are read simultaneously but with superior efficiency. Many low capacity files are read because multiple blocks of data are stored to each Disk, though the performance is excellent at this time.
8. RAID trouble shooting ∙ JBOD Linear volume The Disks are configured in series so that they are all being used at once to store data, as if they were one Disk in summation. The volume’s storage capacity can be maximized, as the data is stored to the Disks in sequence. Data must not be written in the event of a damaged Disk to safeguard saving capacity. In this way, if a Disk is damaged, saved date in the volume will be lost.
