3.6 Creating Disk Array or Logical Driver A disk array can be created in any of the following three ways. Automatic Configuration Checks the number of unconfigured HDDs connected currently and creates disk arrays of a proper capacity and RAID level and logical drives automatically. Express Configuration Creates disk arrays and logical drives semi-automatically only if you select a RAID level fit to the environment used and the number of logical drives to be created.
The following options can be set. Redundancy Determines whether redundant logical drives are created or not. If you check the checkbox, RAID1, RAID5 or RAID10 is created depending on the number of connected HDDs available for creating logical drives. If you do not check the checkbox, RAID0 is created. Note: If only a single HDD available for creating logical drives is connected, RAID0 is created despite whether the checkbox is checked or not.
The following list shows the difference of the settings for each Application Type. Type Stripe Size Read Policy Write Policy File Server 64KB Read Ahead Write Back Video Stream 1MB Read Ahead Write Through Transaction Data 64KB No Cache Write Through - Transaction Log 64KB Read Cache Write Back - Other 64KB Read Ahead Write Back The following options are automatically set.
Advanced Configuration (Step 1 - Disk Array Creation) Disk Array Alias Alias (any name) Enable Media Patrol Enables media patrol. The checkbox is checked by default. For details of media patrol, see "3.9 Media Patrol." Enable PDM Enables PDM. The checkbox is checked by default. If an error occurred in any HDD in logical drive while the PDM feature is being enabled, the data is copied onto the spare drive automatically.
Advanced Configuration (Step 2 - Logical Drive Creation) Alias Alias (any value) RAID level Indicates the available RAID level depending on the number of physical drives selected in the previous screen. RAID0 for a single physical drive RAID0 or RAID1 for two physical drives RAID0 or RAID5 for three physical drives RAID0, RAID5 or RAID10 for four physical drives Capacity Specify the capacity of a logical drive to be created. The maximum permissible capacity is shown to the right of [Max:].
Advanced Configuration (Step 3 - Summary) If no problems are found, click [Submit]. Disk arrays and logical drives are created. 3.6.4 Adding Logical Drives If a disk array already created has empty capacity, logical drive can be added later. 1. Select a disk array to which you want to add logical drives and click the Create LD tab. The logical drives already created are displayed graphically with the colors of their RAID levels.
3.7 Deleting Disk Array or Logical Drive IMPORTANT: Delete neither disk arrays nor logical drives saving Windows file systems. Before a disk array or logical drive can be deleted, you must confirm that the disk array or logical drive does not save any Windows system file. 3.7.1 Deleting Disk Array 1. Click a disk array icon which you want to delete in the Tree View. 2. Click the Delete tab in the Management Window. Check the checkbox of the logical drive to be deleted and click [Submit]. 3.
3.8 Redundancy Check Routine redundancy check allows consistencies to be detected, checked and repaired to prevent rebuild from failing at occurrence of a fault in an HDD. This is possible for logical drives of RAID level 1, 10 or 5. The redundancy check can also repair bad sectors detected during inconsistency check. To keep a RAID system operating stably, it is highly recommended to provide routine redundancy check by using the scheduling feature.
The progress of the redundancy check appears in the Background Activities tab. If you click the link of the displayed task being advanced, the current progress status appears. On the screen, you can pause or stop the task. Click You can see the Progress bar. NOTES: If you try to provide a logical drive not full-initialized after its creation with redundancy check in the Auto Fix mode for the first time, the following message is registered.
3.8.1 Scheduling Redundancy Check To schedule routine redundancy check, follow the procedure below. 1. Click the subsystem (ST EX4650EL) icon in the Tree View. 2.

3.9 Media Patrol The media patrol feature provides entire reading for the following target HDDs. Because of aged deterioration, it may not be possible to detect faults of HDDs until they are accessed. The media patrol, or routine read and check of data in HDDs, allows such faults to be detected as soon as possible. Therefore, you can take proper measures early.
The media patrol is started. The progress of the media patrol appears in the Background Activities tab. If you click the link of the displayed task being advanced, the current progress status appears. On the screen, you can pause or stop the task. Click You can see the Progress bar. The following items appear in the screen indicating the progress of the media patrol. Media Patrol Status Indicates the status of media patrol.
Progress on Current Physical Drive Indicates the progress of the current media patrol on a physical drive. Number of Physical Drives Completed Indicates the number of physical drives on which media patrol has already been completed. Number of Physical Drives Queued Indicates the number of physical drives on which media patrol is to be done. Completed Physical Drives IDs Indicates the IDs of physical drives on which media patrol has already been completed.
To add schedule setting of media patrol, follow the procedure below. 1. Click the subsystem (ST EX4650EL) icon in the Tree View. 2. Click the arrow at the right end of the Scheduler tab in the Management Window and then click Add BGA Scheduler. If media patrol is already set, Media Patrol does not appear in the Scheduler Name option. 3. Set the following values and click [Next]. Scheduler Name Select the Media Patrol radio button.

[monthly] • [Day of Month] Set the date on which you want to run media patrol every month. [The] (*unavailable) • Range of Recurrence Check the checkbox of the month in which you want to run media patrol.
Suspending (deleting) schedule setting 1. Click the subsystem (ST EX4650EL) icon in the Tree View. 2. Click the arrow at the right end of the Scheduler tab in the Management Window and then click Delete Schedules. 3. Check the checkbox of the media patrol which you want to delete and click [Submit]. The confirmation dialog box asking whether the media patrol may be deleted appears. Click [OK].
3.10 Rebuild The rebuild feature can recover redundancy if a single HDD is defected in RAIL level 1, 10 or 5. During rebuild, data read/write is enabled. However, the redundancy is lost until the rebuild operation is completed. If an HDD is defected, logical drives are entered into the critical state, of which you are notified. IMPORTANT: Note that load is applied to the system to decrease its processing rate during rebuild. 3.10.
3.10.3 Manual Rebuild For manual rebuild, follow the procedure below. 1. Click a degraded disk array in the Tree View. 2. Click the arrow at the right end of the Background Activities tab in the Management Window and select Start Rebuild 3. Specify source and target HDDs on rebuild. Source Physical Drive Specify a normal physical drive used to configure a logical drive in the critical state. Target Physical Drive Specify the target HDD on rebuild. 4. Click [Submit].
If Enable Buzzer is checked in controller setting, the buzzer rings with the logical drive being in the critical or offline state or rebuilt. To turn on/off the buzzer, check or uncheck the checkbox of Enable Buzzer in the Controller Settings tab. See the description of the Buzzer tab in "3.5.2 Controller" for details. Buzzer ringing is automatically stopped when the logical drive is recovered to the normal state.
3.11 PDM The PDM (Predictive Data Migration) feature always monitors HDDs configuring logical drives, previously senses HDDs suspected to be defected and copies data in the HDDs to spare drives. Different from the rebuild feature, PDM can be done without degrading of logical drives. After the data copy, the status display of the source HDDs becomes Stale and they are recognized as PFA error. IMPORTANT: Before the PDM feature can be used, the following must previously be set.
3. Specify the following. Source Physical Drive Specify the physical drive which is suspected to be defected and from which data is desired to be copied. Target Physical Drive Specify a physical drive to which data is to be copied. 4. Click [Submit]. PDM is started. It may take much time depending on the capacity. During the execution of PDM, you can check the progress. 5.

3.12 Transition At the occurrence of a fault, logical drives may be degraded and recovered by hot spare rebuild. This results in separation of the configured slot positions of the logical drives. However, creating spare drives of revertible type previously (see "3.15 Creating or Deleting Spare Drives") allows logical drives to be returned to the original successive slot positions.
3. Hot spare rebuild is done by using PD4 to create a logical drive having PD1, PD3 and PD4 as configured HDDs. 4. Replace the defected physical drive with a new physical drive having a capacity equal to or larger than the capacity of the defected drive. 5. Transition is automatically started to move data from the spare drive to the new physical drive. 6. When the transition is completed, the new physical drive becomes a member of the original logical drive.
1. Original state: RAID1 Create spare drives of revertible type. (See "3.15 Creating or Deleting Spare Drives" for details.) Revertible 2. Occurrence of a fault in PD2 A fault occurs in a physical drive among those configuring a disk array. The disk array is entered into the degraded state (logical drives are entered into the critical state).
3. Hot spare rebuild is done by using PD4 to create a logical drive having PD1 and PD4 as configured HDDs. 4. To make free physical drive PD3 be a configured HDD of the original logical drive, you can select PD3 manually in this state to run transition. (1) Click the arrow at the right end of the Background Activities tab and select Start Transition. (2) Select the source and target physical drives as Source Physical Drive and Target Physical Drive, respectively. Click [Submit].
NOTE: The “Operation Status” field may show “Transition Running” although Transition has finished. Check the messages regarding Transition in the application log to find that the transition processing has finished.
3.13 Transport The transport feature is used to move a disk array in the online state with its normal status remaining unchanged. 1. Click a disk array for which you want to provide transport in the Tree View and click the Transport tab. 2. Click [Submit]. 3. The confirmation dialog box appears. Type "confirm" and click [OK]. Input “confirm”. 4. Make sure that Operational Status is set to "Offline, Transport Ready." Pull out the HDDs configuring the disk array from the mating slots.
5. Insert the pull-out HDDs into slots in the environment subordinate to a new disk array controller N8103-105 and refresh the HDDs. Then a normal disk array is recognized.
3.14 Initializing Logical Drive A disk array can be initialized additionally after it is created. Full initialization set all data bits in logical drives to zero. If logical drives are created, it is recommended to run full initialization first. IMPORTANT: Initialization erases all data completely. Be sure to back up important data before initialization. You may select a logical drive which you want to initialize from the disk array menu.
3.15 Creating or Deleting Spare Drives 3.15.1 Creating Spare Drives IMPORTANT: The following HDDs cannot be used for spare drives. - HDD that has been configured to any disk array - HDD with partitions. Spare drives are used to protect a redundant logical drive when hard disk drives in the logical drive are defected. That is, if a hard disk drive in a redundant logical drive is defected, rebuild can be done to a spare drive to substitute for the defected hard disk drive for protecting the logical drive.
4. Click the Update button. The specified spare drives are added to the list of New Hot Spare Drives at the bottom. 5. Click [Submit]. The spare drives are defined. The created spare drives appear additionally in the Information tab. IMPORTANT: The HDDs that are not configured to an logical drive nor set as spare cannot be used as spare drives. Media patrol is not done to the HDDs that are not configured to array disk or set as spare. Specify unconfigured disks as spare disks previously.
3.15.2 Deleting Spare Drives Follow the procedure below to delete spare drives. 1. Click Spare Drives in the Tree View. 2. Click the Delete tab in the Management Window. Check the checkboxes of spare drives to be deleted and click [Submit]. The following popup appears. Confirm the information and click [OK]. The selected spare drives are deleted.
3.16 Expansion IMPORTANT: Before logical drives are provided with expansion, be sure to back up the data in the disks. If an unexpected error occurs during expansion, data in the disks may be destroyed. In this feature, only RAID5 configured with three physical drives can be expanded to that configured with four drives. For expansion, all physical drives should have the same capacity. This feature can expand the capacity of the logical drive.
2. Click the arrow at the right end of the Background Activities tab in the Management Window and select Start Migration. 3. Select physical drives used for the expansion. Click [>>] to move the physical drives to the Selected frame. Click [Next].
4. Set detailed information on the disk array. RAID Level RAID5 only Expand Capacity Check the checkbox to increase the capacity. This item is grayed out if the disk array has no empty capacity.
