7. Optionally click the Expansion Pack link to view the status. Activating the Expansion Pack License on the SonicWALL CDP Appliance After adding the Expansion Pack license key to the SonicWALL CDP appliance on MySonicWALL, you must activate the license on the appliance itself in the Web management interface. To activate the Expansion Pack license on the SonicWALL CDP appliance, perform the following steps: 1. 2.
Inserting the Expansion Pack Drives 2. Warning: Do not insert anything other than the SonicWALL 3. approved hard drives into the SonicWALL CDP appliance. The Web management interface provides a graphical view of the hard drive arrays on the SonicWALL CDP 6080 appliance. The best practice is to view the arrays on the System > RAID page during the insertion process. To physically access the hard drive arrays, you must remove the front bezel.
9. As the System > RAID screen refreshes (every 30 seconds), you will see the LED indicators for the drive slots in the Secondary Array turn green as the SonicWALL CDP appliance senses the inserted drives. When all the drives are inserted, all drive slot LEDs turn green, and the Add Expansion Pack button appears. 10. Click the Add Expansion Pack button. The SonicWALL CDP appliance begins building the array. This can take up to 30 minutes. 11. Wait until the SonicWALL CDP finishes building the array.
12. Re-install the front bezel, being sure to properly line up the LCD connectors. The best practice is to align and seat the right side of the bezel (as you are facing the front of the SonicWALL CDP appliance), then view the connectors from above as you carefully press the left side of the bezel into place. 13. Lock the bezel with the front bezel security key. 1. 2. Replacing a Single Hard Drive The 2 TB replacement hard drive can be inserted into any drive slot on your SonicWALL CDP 6080 appliance.
Warning: Be careful to remove only the defective drive from the drive array while the appliance is powered on. Removing more than one drive from an active array will cause loss of data. 4. Grasp the drive handle and pull the drive straight out to remove it from the slot. On the System > RAID page, the removed drive is indicated by an empty, black slot in the drive array. A status of DEGRADED is still displayed for the array.
4. 5. 6. 7. Pop open the drive handle on the new hard drive by pressing the square button. Insert the drive into the empty slot, label side up with the handle sticking out. Press the drive firmly into place to seat the connectors, and then close the handle. As the System > RAID screen refreshes (every 30 seconds), you will see the status change to REBUILD-PAUSED. 8. You may continue to use your SonicWALL CDP appliance while the RAID controller rebuilds the array with the new drive.
